Running stock 2.2 with Netarchy's 4.1.9 kernel.
Noticed that since 2.2 my recorded videos have been playing choppy (half the frame-rate). If I let the video play through and then start it again, it plays just fine. Even if I go back a second to a part that has been played, it plays fine.
Doubt it's an issue with the SD card because it played fine pre 2.2
Hoping someone might have an idea
My guess is, because of the new kernel, the SD card read speed isn't good enough for the bitrate of the video, and the video is being copied into the phone's RAM the first time through, and by the second time, it's in RAM, so it's nice and fast.

I think you're right, I did a wipe and flashed a fresh install + TI restore. Works perfectly fine. After flashing a different kernel it starts to screw up.
I did a full wipe and flashed this rom a few weeks ago when it was released, but I haven't tried using the video camera until now.
When I try to record in HD I'm getting the 1-2 second freeze glitch that I never used to get before. I've been running Fresh roms since 3.0 and when I used the video camera to record in HD before it worked perfectly. I've tried clearing out the data in the camera app and force closing, but still no dice. Any help?
Thanks.
Camera App not even Working
I'll be watching your thread, my Camera and Camcorder app load to a blank, back-light screen. The Gallery is also fidgeting out. I know the issue is different, but they seem similar. I also found suggestions to wipe all cache and try reloading the ROM, but that didn't help. I'm going to keep looking, but I'll be checking back here.

on stock desire, 720p playback on moboplayer or rockplayer, the same 720p videos were runnning smooth (only some rare very brief freeze at times) but on cyanogen using moboplayer, 720p; the video runs very very slowly and sound is totally out of sync.. what settings do i need to change to get playback as smooth as on stock rom??
edit: thought cm7 was supposed to be better than stock rom in terms of performance...
no one has this same problem?
i've had similar problem. let me say first that video recording worked great on unrooted device, then on rooted with stock rom, then on InsertCoin 2.0.1. rom, then back on stock rom (i went back with clockworkmod recovery), then again on Insercoin for a week or so...(don't ask, i did some experimenting )...
but then all of a sudden, after a full week on Insertcoin ROM, without me installing something new or fiddling around, out of the blue, video recording went loco. everything looked ok while recording but when playing video would pause every few seconds, then quickly catch on, then pause again, and so on...as if sd card couldn't catch up writing the video. but that couldn't be the case because everything worked fine before. i forgot to mention, both 720p and 800x480 recording didn't work...
i didn't try removing setcpu app and defragmenting sd card. instead i went back to unrooted stock rom and now everything works fine again. now i'm little tired to root and flash any custom rom over again. if anyone has the idea what went wrong please share...thx!

i will try defragmenting sd card. If it does not work, will switch back to stock rom. Got some other issues with cyanogenmod 7 also.... it is not as great as everyone keeps to say...
today recorded video started pausing again. i forgot to mention it earlier, but i bought new 8GB class 4 SD card and it didn't help. i don't think defragmenting will work (at least for me). it seems that this prob might be hardware related...
I had this problem on relextense hd, just figured it was the norm for the phone

i read a few threads on this issue and it seems to me that it's because of gingerbread which does not have the necessary codecs... let's just wait for official gingerbread and see if it works again...
i have tried cyanogen 7 (android 2.3) and miui (android 2.3).. in both roms 720p lags
thx for suggestions, guys. but i'm on stock froyo rom. i'll try removing some apps and see if it's related. after i flashed back stock rom it all worked fine, but now it pauses again. i removed poweramp and rockplayer but no luck. i really don't want to remove all downloaded apps all over again....any other suggestion?
720p works fine for me. Maybe hardware issue?
i have some update on the stuff. today i uninstalled all apps i've downloaded since buying the phone, including the updates to it's native gmail and facebook apps. after that, i restarted the phone and voila, video recording worked again, smooth and steady.
so i went to install all apps again, one by one, and after each one i tried video recording again. the result was that after some apps video was recorded with pauses, and after some it wasn't. so i uninstalled those apps again and tried video recording, but it didn't help. then i went to install them back again but not in the same order as the first time. again video was fine after installing some apps and not fine after the others. but, it didn't pause after installing some apps for the second time, the same apps which i have installed the first time when video was recorded with pauses. so it seems it's not app related after all.
but, after so much installing and uninstalling it became clear that video recording worked flawlessly after each phone reboot. at some point after rebooting the phone video begun to record with pauses again. after some more testing i can confirm that this occurs after installing new (any) apps. as long as i don't install anything, video will record normally. i cannot possibly imagine what can cause such behavior, but for now it seems to be the pattern. i hope it'll help some of you with the same problem. but nevertheless this shouldn't happen at all. i have sent a ticket to HTC support, maybe they'll come up with a more permanent solution.

720p video playback is smooth on your cm7? i have tried cm7 and miui (gingerbread) and 720p video is slow and out of sync with the audio
seems it's related with your sd card.. what class are you using? i think the more apps u have installed, the speed at which sd card is accessed is slower.... my 720p recording/playback is not smooth as well, i have like 60-70 apps installed (lol), that's probably why
Just reporting something I noticed when I flashed the rom. Not something major, nor do I know if its actually rom related or not.
I use MX Player to watch my subbed videos (anime) on my phone. The only thing I noticed is that videos tend to automatically just freeze and stop playing. Happens at most 3-4 times if the video is 23 mins, not sure for longer videos. So I have to rewind a bit to get it going. Before I flashed Jedi I was on Darkside and this never happened. I have also uninstalled, deleted app info and all yet still happens. So I am not sure whether its actually the app just bugging out or the new rom causing issues.
I have not tried any app besides MX. I did check out Super Video which came with the rom, but it just gives me a huge mess of videos unlike MX where I can choose which folders it should access. So I am not sure if Super Video gives me the same problem as well.

So, i've been watching BluRay on my GNex for a long time without any lag or stutter whatsoever, and one day i decided to install flash to get some anime-streams to work, but they ultimately didnt, i went back to watching the bluray-video and it lagged like out of this world... like it was in stutter-slowmotion.
I un-installed flash cause it was the only thing i did prior to this but alas the video still lagged. I wiped phone and installed new fresh AOKP (Previous one was Stock Rom), but it is still lagging, have i managed to break something ?
