So here we are going to discuss about how to playing any 4K videos on Microsoft Surface Pro without curbs.

Before we start, we have to make this clear – why not all 4k video can be played on Microsoft Surface Pro perfectly? One reason is the sources of 4k video could be anywhere, downloaded from the web, captured by Panasonic/Sony/Canon camcoders, shot by DJI drones, and more. The second reason could be the versatitlity of video format codec. For example, MP4 is one of the most common and widely used video formats, but people still can not play some of them, cause MP4 is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio, but is can be used to store other data such as subtitles and still image, different MP4 file could cover different video audio codec. So this is why you fail to play some of them on your portable devices.
