Try Options and untick ‘Mute All Audio’.
There also appears to be a bug. When unmuted the yellow Muted still appears underneath the bars. But the audio is playing so it has unmuted. I got rid of the incorrect ‘Muted’ by floating the window but you cannot do that in Basic version. Now my window isn’t displaying properly. Maybe more than one bug…….

My screengrab was from Movie Studio 14 Platinum. Looks like you have the basic Movie Studio version which is somewhat ‘basic’.

Click on the ‘M’ button at the top.

Maybe if exported as an mp4 file and burnt to disc a player might accept it. In MS14 the Main Concept AVC/AAC Internet template has 4K in its customisable drop down frame size list.
And much to my surprise I find the Main Concept Blu-ray video stream template likewise has 4K in its drop down frame size list! Seems pretty pointless if we cannot burn the avc file to a Blu-ray disc.

Thanks for that John. Another nail in the coffin for self burnt discs.
I wonder though whether 4K files burnt to a Blu-ray disc solely as files (data disc) will be recognised and played by a 4K Blu-ray player. Or whether it will even play 4K files from a USB thumbdrive? Unfortunately my Blu-ray player is 1080 only, as is my TV, so I cannot check myself.

Looks like we are going to be stuck with putting 4K on thumbdrives to play on TVs that handle 4K. I’m only 1080 but I’ve friends who play their 4K that way.

You can always burn your 4K to a Blu-ray disc simply as a file and Blu-ray players that handle 4K should play it. It’s no different to putting 4K files on a USB thumbdrive.
But authoring a proper 4K video disc with menus etc…. Personally I wonder if it will ever happen for self burnt discs.

Some Media Players handle HD better than others. Of interest which one gave you problems?
-
Bear in mind that file size is governed by a files bitrate which is measured in bits per second (not bits per frame). At the same bitrate 30fps file and 60 fps files will have similar sizes. If you want to reduce the file size you need to reduce the bitrate irrespective of whether you maintain 60fps or reduce to 30 fps.
-
What bitrate are you using? Try reducing it. Personally I’d use mpeg4 (AVC) not mpeg2.
