HTC Desire Choppy Video Playback - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Lately I've been noticing a brand new problem When playing a video I recorded using my HTC Desire it's very choppy and laggy. I am using custom rom LeeDroid V2.2F. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem ? I have some videos I managed to take a while back and they seem to be ok but lately all videos are becoming laggy and choppy.

could be yr memory card is quite full. Also ensure that no much background apps are running when playing back/recording video.

Lagging sometimes happens while recording 720p videos.. try recording in wvga mode n see if the problem persists..

[Q] Movie playback (on phone) problem. can anyone verify?

Hi all,
I have an unrooted unbranded Desire on latest firmware.
When I record a sample 30 second HD video it plays back on the computer fine.
However, when I try to playback a HD video from the gallery on the phone it stutters and plays very badly the first time. If I play it again immediately it is perfectly smooth. It's like it has cached it the second time so it plays smooth.
Can someone check this on their phone and tell me if perhaps it's just my card speed (class 2). I think it may be the card because of the fact it only stutters the first time like its trying to read/play at the same time. On second playing it's fine.
any feedback would be great. thanks alot!!!
Would anyone like to try and replicate it? just record a 30second HD video and play it back on the phone. Is it smooth on first playback or does it stutter.
I think it might be the memory card, but don't want to shell out 60euro on a class 4 unless I'm mostly sure. thanks alot
Myself and others have been experiencing much slower SD card speeds in Froyo than in Eclair. See this thread and this one. I think that your problem could be related, and if so buying a faster SD card probably won't help.
thanks Koider

Choppy video recording playback question.....MAYBE SOLVED for me

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.

[Q] camcorder video/audio sync

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.

(Q) video playback quality

Why does this thing blow at playing videos? YouTube and similar. Is there a setting that needs changed/enabled? On wifi or mobile network it still hiccups!
Hiccups cos of buffering...or hiccups cos the phone is lagging? Very vague details.. Also, your thread title is misleading. This has nothing to do with video quality and everything to do with playback quality..

Changed title for you... Happy now?
Be it buffering or lagging, my GT i9100 played videos with no interruption 9 outta 10 times. This thing on the other hand is, well, horrible at it. I thought the nexus lagged a bit but not as much as this phone. A little disappointed with it actually... Anyway back to the point, any tricks to get it to play better? Downloaded mx player but same thing.
Hmm, you are only having problems with video from the net and not from videos on your phone?

Just from the net
if my bandwidth is open i have no problems. the youtube app has a button setting for hd and sometimes it really isnt hd. if your router is correct, high speed internet isnt clogged, and hd is on then it should he smooth and good. something isnt right so maybe your phone or custom rom is problem.

More likely to be his connection then the ROM.

Flashed leedroid and same issue. Hmmm
Works fine for me, no lag, can even play 720p mkvs without lag wirelessly over my local network.

YouTube Audio Stutter

Hi guys,
Is anyone experience an intermittent audio stutter on the YouTube app. I was watching some YouTube videos this morning and there was no issue, however just 5 minutes ago I fired up YouTube and on every video I view every 30 seconds to 2 minutes the audio will stop for less then a second then continue.
Really annoying, sound off if you have it guts. It seems be be intermittent.

I've had this problem too but its fine at the moment running the latest LeeDroid rom.
I've had this bug happening to me as well. The problem is exaggerated when using some kind of EQ or DSP app/ widget.
What really annoys me is the loud pop whenever the audio chip is being turned on/ off. This can be heard (especially well with headphones) in every app that plays sound.
had the same problem on stock, very annoying...
Found that reinstalling flash solved it.
Now running charmeleon 5.0, no stutter.
Hope it helps
Have the same problem on stock! Have to reboot in order to get it fixed

Yep. I have it too. Latest Vodafone branded stock. Youtube app stutters and pops like crazy. When I play the same video through the browser it doesn't though.
