Just purchased an Ultra HD which records high-def 780P video in MP-4 format. The video looks smooth when playing on the device itself, or my friend's Mac Book Pro. However, it is very choopy/stuttery when playing on my PC. The issue is not my laptop's hardware (Windows Visat Home Premium, Intel Core Duo T7250 processor with Nvidia 8400M GS 256 MB video card and 2GB system RAM). I have tried Flipshare's software, Windows Media Player 11 (updated) and VRC (updated). Flip's customer service/engineers are aware of this issue occuring for some customers but do not as of yet have a solution. Is this a MP-4 software issue or a bad Ultra HD design? (it is not the "jerkiness" the camcorder shows if you don't hold it very still when recording).
Daniel is a little mistaken with his solution. The resolution of the video is much higher than the little video screen. Stuttering play back has nothing to do with resolution but FPS or Frames Per Second.
Since the video on the little screen is smooth the video should be smooth on your computer as well, just blurry if the resolution is low. However, I am having the same problem with mine and the picture is sharp on my 1080p laptop screen but only appears to stutter instead of playing smoothly.
The camera has dedicated hardware playing it back. This is also the same hardware that is encoding it while recording. My guess would be that the hardware encoding is using a faulty codec that is not playing back well.
The reason is that the max video resolution for the player is 320px by 240px, on the player it will look good but on a standard 1024x768 screen, the video will be stretched and will loose a lot of quality, there's no fix, the video is just meant to look good on the player
