How to Correct Choppy or Broken Up Playback

If you are experiencing choppy or broken up playback when viewing your videos, this will usually come down to the computer not being able to process the data of the large HD video files fast enough. Please first ensure that the video is recorded properly by playing the videos directly on a TV with the supplied HD and AV component cables (original HD HERO), or optional HDMI or composite cables (HD HERO2), or optional HDMI cable (HERO3) if you have the necessary cables. You should get proper smooth playback on your TV.

We have a few things for you to try that should help clear up the choppy playback issue you’re seeing on your computer:


1. Make sure you copy your videos to your computer’s hard drive from your camera’s SD card before you play them back. Playing back videos from your SD card can result in choppy playback.


2. Play back your videos with VLC Media Player. This is a free program that doesn’t take up a lot of resources to run on your computer. This means that your computer can focus more on playing back your videos smoothly. You can download it here: www.videolan.org. If you’re looking for a quick fix, you might want to skip down to Step 5.


3. Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements to play back videos from your camera.

For lower resolution videos (1080p 30fps and lower): We recommend at least 2.4 GHz processors and 4 GB RAM to play back lower resolution videos (1080p 30fps and lower).

For higher resolution videos (1080p 60fps and higher): We recommend at least 3.0 – 3.7 GHz processors, 4 GB RAM, and a graphics card comparable to an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M. The graphics card and processor speed is important particulary for 4K and 2.7K resolution video playback.

Here’s how you can check if your computer meets the minimum system requirements:

Mac:
Click the “apple” icon in the top left corner of your screen, and then click “About this Mac”. Next, click “More Info…”

Windows:
Click on the Start Menu, then right-click on the word "Computer" or “My Computer”, and click “Properties”. Once you have done this, scroll down to the System Information for Processor and RAM. You can find your graphics card by clicking on the small arrow to the left of “Display Adapters” in your Device Manager.

4. You camera saves videos as .mp4 files. Convert the .mp4 files to .avi (for Windows) or .mov (for Mac) files. Computers usually have an easier time playing back these files than .mp4 files. You can convert your .mp4 files with CineForm Studio, which is available on our website here: http://gopro.com/software-app/cineform-studio.

We recommend using CineForm Studio to convert your videos. If it doesn’t work for you, try searching online for other free programs that convert .mp4 files. MPEG Streamclip is an example. You can find that here: www.squared5.com.

Note that converting videos may take a long time, especially if you’re encountering choppy playback. The better option may be to follow Step 5 below.

5. Turn OFF Protune and record in a lower video resolution. If your computer can’t play 1080p 30fps smoothly, try recording videos at 720p 30fps instead. The lower resolution means that your computer will have less work to do when playing back the video, so it’ll have an easier time giving you smooth playback.

Im sure its the same as your cable box if you dont have hdmi it would people to push 1080 so that would probably help. but it also says if you play back from the sd card it will be choppy which is what you are doing when you do it straight from the gopro to the tv. if you know how stream it from you computer to your tv and see how it looks.

I was hopeing other people would help out on this becuase I also have the white editio,n but have not opened it yet. I am contemplating getting the silver or even the black.

RM127... now that you have had this for a couple weeks, have you been able to find what settings work best? We too have this camera and will be trying it out tomorrow and was unsure what works best..

I am curious too... when I upload vids they always upload in the narrow format no matter which setting I choose to record in. Anyone have any suggestions on this issue? Using CineForm to convert files to AVI.
