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
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.
Hi, I own Galaxy S3 for T-mobile(SGH-T999). It's rooted and runs on stock ROM. I have been using S3 with no problem for few weeks, but recently I noticed that video randomly freezes. Whenever I play any video for about 1~10 minutes, video and audio freezes. However, subtitle still plays and progress bar moves as if the video is playing. I tried playing video with native player as well as MX Player pro. Both with the same result. I tried playing it from SD card as well as on phone memory, and tried rebooting multiple times with no success. I tried the option "Show CPU usage" in Developer option, and noticed blue bar on the top with three numbers when the video froze. I played both 1080p video and 720p video both with h.264 codec. I stored it and played from both phone memory and Class 10 64GB MicroSDXC(Sandisk) which benchmarked at around 10MB/s write and 30MB/s read. I don't see any reason why there would be problem like this as same exact video files played very well with no problem on my old GS2(SGH-T989). If anyone's got idea what might be going on, please share with me.
Never needed a third party video player tbh, until for last two days I am noticing this very weird problem. See I was watching season 1 of The Big Bang Theory, and say the first episode, which is 22 minutes 38 seconds. Now when I watch it with the stock video player everything is fine till 22 minutes 25 seconds, then it just freezes and a pop up, 'can't play this video'! I don't know what nonsense is this, but I have tried to format my SanDisk 32GB Ultra both in FAT32 and exFAT, but same! When I copy the same file in phone memory then it plays fine, but not from the SD card. And if I play that video on my Desktop via the SD card, it plays fine too. Don't know what's going on. So I installed MX Player, didn't have any hope, but it played it fine. But I would very much like to know what's the problem, is the SD card, or anything else?
Everything else I have tried so far works fine from SD card though, say some movies, and videos, but only that series (all the episodes!).
So has any one of you faced same issue? What did you do then?
Thanks in advance.
PS: This is the file I was trying to play, if that helps,
And this is the error I am getting,
That's really odd, did you find any info on logs?
