I'm having difficult time trying to play some 8K gameplay footage on my Windows 10 22h2 laptop. Have all the necessary codecs and updates from MS Store (except H265) plus codecguide mega codec package installed. This is a exported and upscaled AVI xvid 8K video. GPU is 3070 NVIDIA. I did read avi format is faster to read SSD wise than mp4, besides AVI is my only option to work in this case. Frame/video just straight freezes in first second, not playable. 4K export and upscale works just fine on same media player.
What do I do? Export: Davinci Resolve 20.3. Upscale: File-Converter (name of the tool I use) xvid AVI.
I could use a hand here, thank you so much

Using HandBrake is free and includes hardware codecs for Intel and NVIDIA on both 264 and 265.

AVI is an outdated format and it's best to avoid it. Opt for mp4 instead.

The software increases resolution to 8K or 4K quickly, but only for AVI files. MP4 is slow, particularly at higher resolutions.

You're focusing on the wrong aspect. It's not the speed of scaling that affects playback.

Just got that, it's such a great software so far—I think. Much superior to the tool I tried before. Thanks, good sir. Also, turns out VLC media player is already updated to support 8K playback according to their site. I'm updating my VLC right now.

There is also no reason to have a codec pack installed anymore in 2025 unless you actually find a really weird video file.

Maybe you should think about your overall approach again. Video is presented in a pixel-by-pixel manner. Simply increasing the resolution of any video doesn’t instantly turn it into a true 8K image captured with a real-life camera. The software is essentially predicting how many extra pixels to add. Also, since most viewers don’t have 8K displays, their playback systems must reduce the video to match their monitor’s capabilities. Even videos made on an 8K system aren’t truly high-resolution because the game, program, and graphics drivers are still estimating what should appear in that format. It’s unclear exactly what you’re aiming for when upscaling to 8K. But if it brings you joy, that’s perfectly fine.
