my hp spectre laptop will not play video files or photos created by my new camera. My non HP desktop will play them. i dont understand what the issue is. the files are 4k 100mbs 4:2:2 10bit mp4 files. they save from my camera to my hard drive. them are recognized by my HP laptop but they refuse to playback and crash my computer. i have tried multiple programs to open them but nothing works. The only program that would open them on my desktop was Adobe Premier. Please help
