Appologies beforhand if this has been discussed. Filming in 4k on my Air 2s, when trying to play mpeg4 files, windows 10 askes me to buy HEVC video extensions for $0.99 in the store. Please help. What am I missing? Is it a setting I'm useing in the video settings?

Use VLC, it is free

Use VLC, is the best and it's free.

As mentioned from others, use VLC as it's free. Sidenote though, that Win10 codec used to be free a few years ago, not sure when they changed this and started charging folks.

Aloha Thudd,

     As they are pointing out, download and use VLC since it is already using all the latest codecs.  Microsoft is just going to charge you $.99 for a file extension that might be required if you are not using an up-to-date player / video processor like VLC.

     Hope this helps!  Take care and be safe!

Aloha and Drone On!

Thank you all for the information. The replies have been very helpful. I did get VLC and now all is well. Thanks again.

Thanks for the link. I was able to download the Codec and play the video fine on my Lenovo L540.

VLC is da best...

I downloaded the vlc as was mentioned in the comments. First thing it said is it needs access to all files and can modify and delete any file on the system. That's a bit scarry. I dumped it right away.
  Sounds like a scam waiting to happen. Is no one concerned?
Please let me know. Thanks
