MKV playback from Micro-SD card. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I' ve been looking into a memory card for my Galaxy Note 2.
The 64gb one from SanDisk looks like a good one to get however I have a few questions about MKV playback.
Can anyone verify smooth playback of high bitrate files, say Avatar @1080p with a 20-30 meg bitrate?
The card states that it can handle 30MB/s but im not sure how it will cope.
Anyone had any experience with these kind of files?

You should have no issues. Bitrate and data transfer rate are completely different from each other by a factor of 8, because there are 8 bits to 1 byte. In other words, 30MB/s (megabytes) is 8 times more than 30mb/s (megabits). So, even a 1080p video running at a 30mb/s bitrate is still only going to be equivalent to a data transfer of 3.75MB/s.

i got the same card class 10 does the job perfect

Brilliant. Can't wait for the card to come.

I have that card and every 1080 mkv has played faultlessly

Can i ask what microsd your using? (class) Mine is clear put it pauses every now and then! I think my sd is a class crap(2) the one that came with it! And i've been eyeing up a kingston 16gb class 10!!
Aww nice movie!

It's the standard one that came with the Desire, class 2. The video sometimes stutters when playing back on my Desire and i am wondering if it's to do with the class of SD card.
Nice animals indeed!
Do you have the original 3GP vid file you can upload somewhere?
Colours seem better than Eclair at 0 saturation. You needed +1 to get such colours with it.
There's a few YouTube issues on the HTC 2.2 OTA release mentioned by some, one being the vids pausing/stuttering at times but I haven't otherwise seen vids behaving as such through the SD. I play at least 1-3 hour vids daily on this phone albeit only a few at 8Mbps like the 720p recordings.

Kingston 16GB Class 10?Dude,you must be crazy!And luckily enough,I'm the same!I already have it and it's ****in' FAST!No stuttering etc and everything loads lightning fast!
And about that crazy part,I'm just kidding.Although 100 euros is a little too much for a memory card,but who cares?

That vid is quite excellent how it turned out. The source vid looks far better than that YouTube vid and you have area's of 50-83 FPS on there. The colours are very good.
Also, your vid is completely unplayable on my phone (due to the SD card) with endless stalls and stuttering. No such problem from the laptop or PC.

Thanks, I'm glad its not just me having playback issues from the SD Card. Thinking of going for a class 4 or possibly class 6 card to see if that improves performance. I wonder if part of the frame rate issues are down to the class of SD Card used.
BTW I've done another test video, this time indoors. Here's the YouTube video.

[Q] SD class X for heavy 720p recording?

Going on a long long trip and only have room for my Dinc.... Will a class 4 card get the job done or do I need to get a class 6?
Thanx!
That really just matters when copying/writing the initial file and on read times.
For video saving or video playback, it might save you and extra few seconds during the save or load times, but it shouldn't matter at all.
I have a 16GB class 2 card, ran the SD card speed test app, and it came out as a class 4 card.
I notice perfectly fine speeds on my card. I never seem to think to myself, "this thing is damn slow." If you do something like sync 500+ songs to the card at one time, sure it may take a little while to initially find them, but after that there's no wait.
Hope that helps.

I just made a post about class and brand in the accessories section. Take a quick look at that. But class shouldn't really save much time unless you are recording really long videos, the most it will save you is maybe 2 seconds TOPS after finishing video recording. My sandisk 16GB class 2 saved videos in 2.5 seconds or less.
ok, thanks for that info. i was under the impression that the write speed of the card was a limiting factor in bitrate/framerate. Therefore I would get better video quality using a faster SD card. I have seen posts where peeps complain about jerky video @ 720p and the class 2 card is most always the culprit.

Well considering it isn't attempting to write the video as it is recording, class does not apply to this. Framerate/bitrate is controlled by the recording software and the camera itself. SD card just stores the finished product.
More for less, or same for more?
Rather than pony up the extra benjamins for a higher class card, why not get the/a bigger 32 Gb class 2 card, like the one from Verizon?
I have it, it too tests @ class 4, I've had no issues whatsoever.
My $0.02
cool, thank u for that 2 cents.

Well it depends if someone needs faster transfer rates or higher capacity, as well as cost difference. 32gb cards are going for 75 to 90 bucks still being that they are still relatively new, while a 16gb class 10 from kingston is about the same price, maybe even cheaper with transfer rates at least 3 times faster than any class 2. All in preference.
So as far as media playback goes, will I notice much of a difference on class 4 vs class 6 on a 32 GB card? The speed difference is really in file location, not playback right?
Basically, yes.

I use a class 4, it is fast enough for the Desire. I also have a class 6 in my DHD I notice no difference between the two.

Yes recording in 720P I no its not the custom rom because it was the same with stock, I had my phone replaced 1 week after I got it and both were the same.

no no your not understanding, becuase data rates are around 8 mbs (iv made three videos , one of snow falling one of playing cod6 on playstation and talking with a friend all are 8mbs -8.4 mbs, and fram rates in low light get to like 15fps) it seems that the bitrate is too high for sd cards and potentially for the qsd 8250 soc,

Class4 card should be able to write at 4MB/s or 32Mbps. Blame the ROM, not SD card.

But it was the same on the stock android 2.2 that came with the phone, Leedroid has made it much better it only stutters little bit.
stock verison was a joke.

note2 memory card

Currently I'm using 16GB class4.
Thinking to changing 32GB class10.
Does class10 makes a difference in recording 1080p videos? And what sort of differences will it make?
Thanks.
Speed class 10 which is a high speed bus. Basically I think it'll be a lot better for you. Full HD video recording and HD still consecutive recording. Class 2, 4 & 6 are normal bus cards which include full HD vid recording also and SD video recording. There is a difference and 32GB is the way to go in your case.
Hope that helped
As the person said above, it's just the bus speed. It's not really going to make a significant difference with HD video. You might see it with contentious snap shot, but I don't believe the GN2 is setup for a fast enough rate.
The class10 is what professional photographers us in their cameras because of the access and write speeds. Their DSLs can take a couple shots per second. Then again, their cameras can cost several thousand dollars, versus the all in one device such as GN2, which essentially a fix point point and shoot camera when using the camera.
You probably see a little fast in transferring files around form the phone to the SDXC or SDXC to PC. Luckily the GN2 does have the hardware to use the class 10.
Personally, if you can get a class 10 on sale, like the other day with the 64GB class 10 Scandisk Ultra for $45, I would. The cost is the same as that as of class 6. Given the phone and limited build in storage, I recommend a 64GB over a class 10

Which Micro SD card for recording 4k Video?

What micro SD cards are you all using for recording 4k video? Will something like the Lexar 633x do the job or do we need something faster? Thanks!
From my understanding when recording 4k it won't record to SD. It records to internal memory. I am pretty sure that is what the message told me when I put my Samsung 256gb Evo+ card in my phone.

strange, might want to go to camera and check the settings to make sure they stuck to sdcard. I just recorded a 4k video on my 128 Pro card.
Im pretty sure even a class 10 sdcard will work for 4k, class 10 does 10mb/sec so that's good for 80mbit video, don't think 4k bitrate is that high to begin with, on the s7 it was 48mbit.
I'm using the 128GB lexar 633x and can record 4k to my SD card. I picked up mine a few phones back and it has been a solid card. When they finally give us UHS-2 speeds on our phones I'll upgrade to a 256
4k recorded fine on my SanDisk 128gb and also the Samsung Evo

You can also go for SanDisk Extreme 128GB microSD card. With this card you can shoot continuous burst mode, Full HD and 4K Ultra HD video, up to 90MB/s transfer speed.
