OK so here is my question...
Youtube app on my phone, plays video fine, perfect quality and no stutter..
Wifi tether to my laptop.. Open www.youtube.com same video and I have to wait like 5 minutes for the same 2 or 3 minute video to load..
I am sure it takes a little more bandwidth because I am sure there are some things not loading on the phone youtube app..
But that being said, it shouldn't be all that much of a difference.. Right?
Is there anyway to make it better?
The video you view on your phone is compressed to save mobile bandwidth. When you view the video on your computer, you are viewing a higher quality video.

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!

Apparently I get to research this fun issue now. Anyways is there any correlation between choppy video play back and recording in low light situations?
The vids I'm recoding right now are in semi low light but I can still see what I'm recording, but during play back the video seems to pause then continue. Sometimes its very bad sometimes its just every once in awhile.
I have adjusted recording resolution and encoding but there wasnt any change.
Any ideas?

Ok thought i d post back with some findings.
I'm using a pc to actualy watch these vids to better look for issues and isolate at what point the pauses and glitches are introduced. It seems that its having a hard time actually making the video. Not play back, because my pc plays back the crappy video just as crapy as my evo.
I got the video to stop freezing and pitching. I'm not sure what fixed it but I believe it was fixed by running a check risk on my SD card.
I noticed that everytime I connected my Evo to my pc via usb and used removable storage mode my windows 7 would ask if I wanted to scan and fix or not. I was telling it no, but after I did thus scan my videos want back to being pretty clear and not choppy.
Thought I'd share my findings.

I just tested the 1080p video camera and was surprised to find that I can actually pause the recording, move to where I need to be, and continue to record so that when I am finish, I get one continous file. This is like analog or DV tape. If you stop the recording then you need a video editor to piece the footage together, not to mention that if you record 5 secs at a time and play it back on the pc, you get just that 5 secs and have to open the next file.
Now you can record for 5 secs, pause, recompose, start recording again, pause, etc... and you will have one continuous file. I wonder if the file size limit is 4gb if you format your external SD card to fat32.
Also, I have two Samsung SMART LED TV, one is 2010 C series and the other is a 2011 D series. If you have those, then you know about the allshare feature that allows you to send pics, music, video straight to your TV without the need for wire or that $99 Allshare Cast. Now while musics and pictures can be sent to the TV wirelessly without lag, 720p video can not. I couldn't do it with my EPIC 4G touch without experiencing buffer just like a youtube video is buffering. That is with both TVs so I figure it must be my slow network at home but I upgraded to Gigabit ethernet and that still doesn't help. I figure the problem is that the 720p video from the Epic 4G touch which is recorded at 17mbps is a bit too much to send over wifi to the TVs.
So I recorded some 1080p this morning. BTW, as long as you keep the camera still, the video is very sharp. Do a lot of panning and the camera has trouble focusing sharply. Stop and touch the screen to do selective focusing, like on a flowers that is not in the center of the screen. While the video bit rate remains at 17 mbps, the resulting video is very sharp on my 55 inch LED TVs. Almost as good as my Canon HFS10 but the details are much better on the Canon.
So I sent the 1080p video via allshare to my 2010 C series TV(which is hard wired to the router) and I still get buffering problem. So I figure the bit rate is too high to send over wifi. Then I went upstair and tested it with the 2011 D series TV and surprisingly, no buffering or lag. And the TV upstair is wirelessly connected to the router, not hard wired.
So I took a 24mbps 1080p video that I recorded on my Canon DSLR, which I transferred to my phone, and tried to play that using the built in allshare feature of the TV and my Galaxy Note 2. Surprise surprise, no stuttering or buffering either. No need to connect the MHL cable or remove the microSD card to play the videos on TV anymore.
Every time I watch a video on YouTube the video plays in 144p quality. I have to manually select which quality I want which is usually 720p each time and for every video I watch. Auto does nothing but play in 144p. Mobile data or Wifi same thing.
This is a problem I'm just noticing. In the past it would always play in 720p if I selected that and that quality would stick. Maybe it's the YouTube app?
Anyone have any idea what's causing this and what I can do if anything? Thanks

Youtube selects the resolution based on connection speed.
I have 50+ dl speed on my WiFi. It still starts the video at 144p. If I select 1080p or 1440p quality the video plays just fine...No buffering or anything. The thing is I don't like having to select the quality for every video I watch cause sometimes I watch alot of different videos

My youtube app plays fine (720p), even on 3G. Strange. Uninstall and install it again.
When I take video on the OP3, how can I get it to play back so its oriented correctly (sideways) on a TV/monitor. The attached screenshots show how the videos plays. Instead of the video playing back oriented vertically, how can I get it to playback horizontally? Is this a setting I can set on the OP3? Or do I have to edit/rotate all videos so they play horizontally? Basically, I would like the video to take up the whole screen instead of having the black side bars.
idk what is going on here. is the video playing as it should on your phone? its playing fine on my tv/pc

Yes, on the phone it plays fine and takes up the whole screen but on TV or monitor I get the sidebars.
Halp!
