I cant see GH4 100Mbs MOV files (fullhd and 4k) file thumbnails in file windows. I have not installed GH4 cd to my computer. I dont know if it helps. Do I need to load some codecs or updates? I can see 50Mbs files thumbnails. I can also see Sony XAVC 50Mbs thumbnails.

Yes, a Windows Media Player-compatible codec must be installed for Windows to extract a thumbnail. MOV files are usually played with QuickTime, which I suppose you have, which is not native and uses its own codecs; VLC usually can also play MOV in Windows but again, not using a system codec.

The K-Lite codec pack states Windows 7 compatibility and thumbnail creation support.

Thanks for tip. I installed K-Lite codec pack and now my Win7 shows 4k icons and plays files. Some has said that it may cause problems when installing codec packs but lets see.
