I've recently been noticing when I actually went ahead and utilized the video recording functions of my KS20, that it stutters horribly during recording - as in, it literally freeze-frames every few seconds of video, which makes any recordings really horrible to watch. I know on my old phone, which had the same sort of 2MP camera, I never experienced such issues.
Is there a driver patch or update I can be directed to in order to rectify my problem?
Cheers for any assistance.

try to record on internal storage
I have it set to internal, and there's plenty of space for it to use to store the video. It just keep stuttering - with plenty of ram free as well. I'm quite lost as to what's the problem exactly.
Sorry to resurrect my old post, but I'm still having the problem despite fiddling around with it insistently, to no avail.
Basically, I'm storing on the internal memory, with plenty of RAM free (original ROM as well). I record video and every 2-3secs it freeze-frames or stutters for a moment, and does not stop (recorded 5mins and it kept doing it). I really need to understand whether it is a software issue, or an issue with the firmware, or if it's hardware and i need to get it repaired. The camera takes perfectly fine photographs and i have no other problems.
Any ideas/fixes that I could be informed of would be great.

Alright. When I use my KS20's camera for video recording, it seems to work relatively alright, storing on internal storage and using 3gp format @ "super fine" quality. The recording looks fine as I watch it actually record (the camera screen seems to be fluid as I pan around/following what I'm recording). BUT HOWEVER. When I go to -watch- the recorded video on my phone itself (tcmp and wmp) OR on my XP home PC, the video is choppy. The video automatically saves to internal memory...but gets a huge problem when I try and play it (records smooth, and plays back really horribly).
Every 4-7 seconds there is missed/stuttering frames which makes the video very irritating to watch.
This just generally loses the quality of the video due to the slow playback due to these frame issues.
If ANYONE can assist me with this, I would be eternally grateful. I've been trying to figure this out for a long time, and I hope someone can help me.
I will be watching this thread for any answers, and will reply with any further information.
Thank you!

Searched but couldnt find anything except SE said that the video recording issues will be fixed in 2.3.3. So can anyone confirm they were fixed (freeze,stutter, audio sync etc.) Thank you
The video stutter issue was found when I was using an old class 2 micro SD card on 2.3.2. After I have changed to use a class 10 card from Transcend, the Burroughs recording issue wad not found (before update to 2.3.3), see if I have time to test back the previous slow card on my updated 2.3.3. But anyway I suggest you get a class 10 card since the system use the SD card heavily for storing application data, this will improve the system performance, especially the gallery appear, and seems pretty much everything.

hopefully it works..
I never experienced this in 2.3.2 but maybe because i changed to 16gb class 6 right after purchase
Confirmed as fixed, I have taken multiple videos with 2.3.3 and no glitches. with 2.3.2 I did have some.
i have not recorded much before 2.3.2, but made some recordings post 2.3.3 and no issues at all.
rumnyc, bustervic,
What is the class of card you use?

I thing class of card is not important in this moment because whatever card rumnyc used on Android 2.3.2 he had problems with recorded video and after update on Android 2.3.3 he don't have any problems. For me this issue is fixed. Personaly i didn't have any problems on Android 2.3.2 with recorded video.
So far I have not encountered any problems, have recorded 3 X 10min clips and have not seen or noticed any undue pausing as I did originally before updating to 2.3.3. Iam still using original 8Gb card that was supplied in retail package.

Poor playback of recorded video ??
Rather than start another thread on poor video recording I thought I'd ask for some help here. I have read all the XDA threads I could find on the problems of video recording but still don't understand where the Arc is at on this particular problem. I do have the 2.3.3 update (flashed UK O2 .145 firmware) - everything on the phone works great for me, except this problem.
Yesterday, I tried out video recording and while I was actually doing the recording I was very impressed. I was filming in a massive indoor barn where my kids were jumping during a horse riding lesson, so lots of movement and a little bit of moving the camera around in the video.
I liked the fact that I could see on the screen that the lens picked up most of the width of the barn, so I had to do little moving left and right with the camera. I got used to where the lens is positioned so didn't have any problems putting my finger in the way.
I watched the videos back on the phone straight afterwards - looked great. I was really pleased with the whole taking a video experience.
BUT, the problem is that when I transferred the videos on to my computer and tried to watch them, they are incredibly jumpy, lots of missed frames and jerkiness - nothing like playback on the Arc. Basically, they are unwatchable. I played them back in lots of different media players - all the same.
I recorded in HD, with and without image stabilisation, everything was really quick on the phone such as starting each recording, and the film was almost immediately available to watch once the recording had ended (something that even my old digital cameras couldn't do so quickly. I am only using a Class 2 Sandisk card but I don't see that can be the problem.
Please, if anyone can suggest a fix or explain what the situation is - I didn't even know there were recording issues on the Arc until I read that they were fixed with 2.3.3 (and thats what I have on the phone).
Thanks

Look Frenchdroid,dont worry u r are is prefectly fine as far as i know
u r camera is perfectly fine
they problem lies in your computer or lappy
i thnk your computer graphic card or hardware is not capable of playing 720p(HD ready) or 1020p(full HD) videos,thats why u r experiencing this problem of dropping frames and installing media players or updating codecs wont solve this problem but upgrading your computer hardware may do the trick...........
IF my post helped you use thanks button....
Hey - thanks for your reply. You know what ? You were right. I feel like an idiot but hey, at least I'm a bit wiser now I'm not used to all of these video formats and stuff like this.
do not worry we at xda , are like a family,always ready to help each other......
most videos i record has audio and video out of sync even lowest resolution (VGA)... it mainly happens after first 1min or less... it is very annoying.. is this normal?
i am on leedroid gingerbread a2sd+
getting worse... now the video is fine for first 20sec and then it's chaotic... there's huge frameskips... image freeze... audio finishes very early.. video is like 2min without audio .. is it normal?? recording on wvga....
I have the same issues, anyone know how to fix it?
bump!
me 2. really curious to finally hear something about it. i've had this problem since day one after rooting and flashing custom roms...
If that happens even at low res, then the problem might be your SD Card.
Look up SD Card class.
I recommend a class 4 minimum.
Most ROMs have issues recording on 720p, but that might be an hardware problem.
It's just not enough and it starts skipping frames...
You should also check the main thread for your ROM to see if there are any reports of those same issues.
For a few months now it has seemed that video is hit and miss when I use the camera on my phone. Some videos will be just fine and others will suddenly pause or skip and the video falls behind the audio quickly. This issue has been across multiple roms for me at this point. I had read somewhere about A2SD causing issues like this but am not sure if that could be it. The memory card I am using is the one that comes with this phone running a ext3 for the A2SD.
Are you talking about playing back videos or capturing them? If you are talking about playback, what details are the files? What codec, resolution, bitrate?
Always better to run most audio/vid apps, of any kind, from internal memory and not sd, otherwise it is like trying to run internet on dialup speeds nowadays Compression is nice but something has to give...

Video captured from the camera on the phone. While taking the video everything seems just fine. And sometimes a 1 minute I take everything will be fine, other times just 30 seconds and the audio is way behind. The playback is always the same result if it be from the computer or the phone, so I assuming the issue must take place when recording.

I don't know of any way to change how A2SD handles this, from reading it doesn't seem most A2SD user's get hit with this issue.
My issue turned out to be having the swap not set to 0

T-mobile stock lollipop ROM
when I listen to music or play video it works for some time then suddenly sound stops working, when I close app and restart the app, it works fine for some time.
when I look at the player it's not frozen I can see the timer working and in the case of video, I can see the video fine just no sound.
it does not matter where the music/video is stored, it happens to files on both internal memory or MicroSD card.
it's gotten worse after lollipop update. it happened on kitkat rom but didn't happen frequently.
it's like it ran out of memory because, when I play music, it plays longer if I don't do web browsing. if i do web browsing, it stops working a lot sooner. but when I check memory usage, it says it got 1.3gb free.
anyone else have problem like this? and know solution?
Yes, I have the same problem ( LG G3 AT&T ) and the same temporary fixes. Headphone output however seems immune, or at least much less afflicted. No permanent solution found so far. Since stopping and restarting the audio source app (YouTube etc) is a temporary cure, I infer that this is a software, not a hardware, problem.
