I shot my first bit of video ever at 2.7k. When I loaded it up in GoPro Studio or VLC, the video stuttered and audio skipped in and out. At first I didn't know if it was just bad video or something else. All 5 videos I shot were the same. I put on the BacPac and could view the videos just fine.
Okay, I thought if I converted them to .avi in Studio things would improve. I typically convert to high but I tried one at high and one at medium (and removed fisheye if it matters). Even in .avi I couldn't really watch them until I turned the playback resolution to one quarter.
Now, I know my computer is old and it has a simple video card, but I didn't know if was THAT bad.
Now that I think about it, that computer is at LEAST 7-8 years old. I rarely do much fancy stuff on it so it is rarely an issue, but this was a bummer. I mean, my phone plays back video better than my computer! My wife has a noticeably newer laptop but it was a pretty simple machine when we got it and I can't get it away from her much anyway. My only working laptop is a simple little netbook, hardly a video processing powerhouse.
Ain't it great how in a hobby one things just leads to another......until your back account is nothing but crickets?
I'm going to go back to restoring old musclecars, at least I have all the tools I need for those. Except a drive on lift sure would be nice, and a bigger garage, with more storage and.....dammit.
