Recorded video help

[freefallnick]

Tested out recording some video from my M2P and I'm having issues playing back the video. I recorded some footage while I was testing out active track and it outputted 2 video files in MP4 format and when I try to play them using VLC player the video is all garbled and is grey and messed up. I also tested some of the quickshot modes like rocket and dronie and this files play fine but the ones I manually recorded with the record button do not play. Are the quickshot ones recorded differently and I need to run my other files through some video editing program to make them play properly or something? All of the files saved are MP4 and the memory card is a sandisk extreme uhs 3 64 gb card. I think I might have set to dlog m, is that the problem?

Although VLC is a good player, I had some problem with it on my Android phone. Other player worked on those files. Did you try other than VLC?

Check the recording codec you are using. I believe that the Mav 2 Pro defaults to using H.265 - which is not as 'open' as the H.264 codec.
If you change to using H.264 and all then your recordings play OK - you can then look for solutions that will allow you to play H.265 encoded video on your hardware.

Another difference is your videos would default to 4K, while the Quickshot videos are in 1080p.

I have the same problem but should be able to find the cause by process of elimination. Initial footage i shot was 4K H 264 and was ok. My playback jerkiness appeared after i set H265 with 4K. But i made some other changes so i have to reset those as well. I may get a chance to fly again today and work things out. It may just be my ageing MacBook Pro or the software I am using.

If above doesn’t work, try a newly purchased card. I use the same card you list and there have been some bogus black market ones sold daily recently.
