4K Media Player recommendation for win8.1
I will shortly be trying my hand at 4K ie capture/edit/render video in 4K. One issue I know I will have is playing back the rendered clip on my PC. My PC is on OS windows 8.1 and to date I have used Windows Media Player (WMP) as my default option when playing rendered HD clips when not using VS. I now realise that WMP (on W8.1 at least) doesn't support 4K and I'm not going to windows 10 in the near future. I have google the issue and been left a bit confused as to the best route to go. Any recommendations? What do others use to play 4k clips on their PCs?

I just completed and rendered a small test 4k video clip and when I went to play it WMP played it with no issues. Go figure.
