With 4K Ultra HD TV becoming the norm in the recent years, making 4K footage with camcorder, DSLR, action camera or mobile phones, and browsing UHD videos from video sharing sites also turn in to more popular and pretty common. But as much as 4K has brought us great pleasure, it has also created bigger problems.
The 10-minute recorded 4K video takes away too much place in the storage space of your cellphone or camera’s SD card, leading your cellphone or camera unusable? And the 4K HEVC videos cannot be played on some players, mobile, game console or TV? Even your over-sized 4K videos cannot be uploaded to YouTube, Facebook or Instagram? What a disaster.
Fortunately, WinX Video Converter will make large videos less of an issue, by converting and compressing 4K videos.
