As a HD video recorder my Galaxy W is not fit for purpose
If I record videos longer than about 60 seconds, the audio and video start to get way out of sync. I don't think it happens gradually - the sync usually goes out after a short glitch in the video. With each glitch, the video falls further behind the audio, and it never recovers - it just gets worse and worse.
I see the problem when recording to either an external SD or the internal storage, so it's not an SD card speed issue.
The problems go away when I record in a lower resolution (480p is fine), but one of the reasons I bought the W was for its HD recording capabilities!
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me?

I didn't check this problem in Recording, but i found the similar problem in playing 720p video. After a few seconds the audio is out of sync.
I thinks its purely a software problem, and future update will resolve this.
Currently i have 2.3.6.
Thanks
Yeah, it's not just a playback problem - if I transfer the videos to my PC the same glitches and audio sync issues are still there. I think I'll try and report this to Samsung if I can bear the pain of negotiating their support website.
Sometimes I also experience this when recording 720p video to internal storage, but no problem when I record to external microsd class 10 card. I assume this because when I did benchmark the internal storage writing speed only about 5MB/sec while the external storage reaches 15-17MB/sec on writing speed. What class is your external micro sd?
As for playback sync issues, I did not experience it either...
That sux. I havn't looked it up on my phone yet, but I really need my camera for recording this weekend. So It better not be that problem on my phone.

My external card is only class 4, but I naively assumed that the internal storage would be up to the task even if my external card wasn't. Looks like that might not be the case. 5MB/s - is it really that bad? If so, that's seriously crap.
I noticed the same with internal SD
Did not yet make HD video's using external SD. Hopefully that will resolve it.

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
Hi all,
After upgrading my HTC Desire to 2.2 Froyo I was very excited about HD video recording. Done few shots outdoor, indoor then when I played it back on my pc the video was ok but I had like cut-off on the sound. Checked on different computers with different soft and same thing on all of them. Someone said my sd card is not fast enough (samsung 4GB Class2). Gone to shop and bought 8GB Transcend Class 6. Now it's hard to say because I still have same problem Now I have less 14 quid in my pocked and still cannot use my phone to occasionally record video. I don't expect brilliant quality from it, all I need is to record and maybe upload in youtube. It is very frustrating - dialog sounds like: "Hi ...ow you ..ing? Woul.. you go for a ..."
Does anyone have similar problem?
Can somebody help me?
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

I recently started recording video and I noticed the audio is out of sync during playback.
the settings on my stock D710 are
resolution 1280x720
video quality- superfine
white balance off
storage to memory card (class 4)
I've made approx 6 video's and the audio records faster than the video. The longer the video, the worst it gets.
I dont want to root my phone. Is there a fix for this?
