so what is 4k video and how it differs from 8k video and can we
recover any of those two formats in case of accidents let's get started
hello everyone and welcome to wondershare recovery your one stuff for practical data solutions
today we're gonna discuss one of the hottest topics around video production in the past months
namely 4k and 8k videos what do they represent how they differ from each other and are there any
ways to recover videos recorded in 4 or 8k all of that we're discussing in the next few minutes and

now let's talk about the meaning of both 4k and 8k apparently both are really popular
with 4k being something like the successor to the very popular full hd also known as the 1080p
format well in 4k the resolution goes higher in fact the pixel amount is four times the quantity
that we have with full hd whereas with 8k we have kind of the 4k resolution doubled currently given
the state of technology 8k is the top of the line providing the crispiest image and also
the greatest pixel density meaning that you can notice even the smallest details in the footage
if the footage has also been recorded in 8k the other popular standard 4k something like standard
these days even for youtube and one of its most popular implementations is this resolution
3840x2160 but when you jump to 8k resolution the pixel count increases to 7680 by 43.20
due to the higher number of pixels available at a given surface the picture quality of 8k resolution
is slightly better than the 4k resolution the thing with these resolutions is that also it's
a matter of perception and i still can point to you a lot of people who would barely make
any difference between 1080p and 4k and between 4k and 8k some people would say there is zero
difference or just slight difference to justify my words i'll give you an example that's warner bros
they have made these experiments to stream media you know part of it recorded in
4k another part in 8k to an audience and most of the feedback that they have released is that
the difference between 4k and acre has been just slight thing is that 8k is very resource hungry
and there are very few devices but also very few streaming platforms that really support it
so is it really worth jumping from 4k to 8k resolution at home for instance it depends
as usual well you could be 8k ready by purchasing an 8k capable tv thing is that the cameras that
currently support 8k recording are just a few and the streaming platforms that we have are currently
limited for instance youtube does provide 8k resolution however it's a bit compressed
so you probably wouldn't make any difference between a video you watch on youtube and
another 4k video that you watch on your tv and has been recorded locally furthermore amazon
netflix both of these platforms currently in 2022 are only providing streaming services
up to 4k so it's gonna take a while until more devices and more platforms support 8k
of course all of that is related to a lot of resources because for streaming you do
need pretty high bandwidth which gets even higher with 8k video files since we talk about files this
is actually the area of our expertise especially recovering files and it doesn't matter if we talk
about video or audio or any other type of files which are accidentally deleted or just lost due to
various reasons the problem with ak videos is that they can be huge files therefore recovery could be
a bit tricky but here we are with a few very easy to follow steps and tricks in order to help
you our first method represents a quick way to retrieve your deleted videos and all you have to
do is to execute a few commands in command prompt i need to be very clear upfront using cmd usually
has pretty low success rates but still let me show you how to enter the check disk command
which is going to recover the file system in case of any minor issues open the command prompt window
then type chkdsk then the drive letter you're going to recover the files from then hit the enter
button and press yes in case you added some extra parameters after a while you're going to see the
results and hopefully your file system is going to be recovered therefore the files are going to
be playable again if not then we're going to use some professional grade data recovery software
let me present you wondershare recover it which feels equally comfortable recovering 4k but also
8k video files to get started download install and launch recovery on your computer then select the
location from where you had accidentally deleted videos go ahead begin the scanning process this is
the point where you have to be extra patient and it might take a while after the scanning process
completes or as soon as you stop it you're going to see a list of all discount results on your
screen simply browse through these results select the 4k or 8k video files that you want to get back
you can preview them and eventually click the recover button at the bottom right corner of
the screen and select the location where you want these files to be exported and preserved
so easy peasy you know a few magic spells and you're going to get your files back
in no time and reliability by using wondershare recovery is pretty good success rate as well and
hopefully all of that has been useful and now you know about the differences between 4k and
8k video files but also you're aware of the ways how to recover accidentally deleted video files
