Here's the questions I have. I took a couple test videos to play around. Afterwards when I pulled the videos directly off of the memory card from the drone, the videos are extrmely choppy, they skip, etc. It's terrible. I later found the videos on the memory card from the smart controller (cached maybe?) When I view those they are much smoother and look decent. I'm not talking movie/pro quality they are beginner type videos just goofing, but they are smoother and viewable. I pulled them off the controller and viewed them on my PC and they are still smooth and usable.

Any ideas why there would be a difference? Both are MP4 videos.

I'd show examples, but I don't know how to upload videos on here... sorry.
 
Nevermind everyone. I figured it out. It appears that the default windows 10 video player can't handle 4k video. I downloaded a 4K video player and it works fine. It looks like the cached videos from the smart controller are lesser resolution (720p) and therefore easier for the video app to run.
