Can someone help? I am not sure what is causing this....however when i turn it off the 4 light blinks a lot before turning off
I think they all do that - mine certainly does - I don't think it is an error state, and almost certainly not connected with video issues.however when i turn it off the 4 light blinks a lot before turning off
We'll be needing a bit more info than that. Choppy video how ? In what you see on the screen (and what are you using for screen btw; mobile or RC2 or something else ?) or in the actual recorded footage from the craft ? And is the footage smooth on whatever when it is not recording, or all the time ?Can someone help? I am not sure what is causing this....
recorded footage and when its not recording or recording its smooth on the controller side of thingsI think they all do that - mine certainly does - I don't think it is an error state, and almost certainly not connected with video issues.

Secondly, has this been the case ever since your first flight, or did it start recently; if so - has there been any sort of crash or knock to the craft ?
Next, what are your signal bars doing all this time ? Trying to find out if this could be an interference or range thing.
The more detail you can give us, the more able to help we are...
And in addition to SkyHigh's Q above, what SD card are you using, and are you sure its data transfer speed / class is high enough to cope with the vast data rates that machine produces ?recorded footage and when its not recording or recording its smooth on the controller side of things
65What are you watching the video on when you say it is choppy?
What video format: h.264 or h.265?

Righty - bloody hell, that's MASSIVE ! But although it is specc'd fine for H.265 speed-wise, it is double what DJI say that machine supports. I wonder if that is the issue ? Have you got a smaller one you can try ?! (TWSS)
the 1tb one
I don't have a smaller one i don't think honestlyRighty - bloody hell, that's MASSIVE ! But although it is specc'd fine for H.265 speed-wise, it is double what DJI say that machine supports. I wonder if that is the issue ? Have you got a smaller one you can try ?! (TWSS)
'I don't know' is the honest answer to that, but it is the sort of thing you could very easily just try, right ?! H.265 is more computationally intense to encode, but produces smaller, more efficient files. H.264 by contrast isn't very efficient space-wise, but does have less encode overhead. But I don't think this matters - I spent the first 2 days with my M4P recording 265 D-Log, and I wasn't having any jerkiness at all, either playing back, or live at the time, so we know it should be able to do it. I only had a lowly 128 GB card however...would changing it H.264 change anything ?
ill try it real quick and get back to you'I don't know' is the honest answer to that, but it is the sort of thing you could very easily just try, right ?!
But he's getting the jerking live whilst he's recording it - that's weird isn't it ? Have we asked OP what res and FPS he's trying to capture yet, btw ?That could be your issue. Unless you have a relatively recent PC or MAC it is very likely to struggle on playback. h.265 requires significant CPU processing or specific hardware designed to work with the h.265 format.
4k (or whatever the highest is) and the highest fps allowable for that resBut he's getting the jerking live whilst he's recording it - that's weird isn't it ? Have we asked OP what res and FPS he's trying to capture yet, btw ?
is 64 lower quality than 65? Whats the difference between the two?That could be your issue. Unless you have a relatively recent PC or MAC it is very likely to struggle on playback. h.265 requires significant CPU processing or specific hardware designed to work with the h.265 format. By comparison h.264 video can be played smoothly on just about any device including my old MacBook Pro that has just turned 13-years old.
It’s easy to change video codec in you drone’s settings.
Both me and SkyeHigh have mentioned what the main differences are further up in the thread. Speaking strictly about quality though, technically H.265 preserves fractionally more detail. It is fairly marginal though I'd say, though noticeable if you look at this sorta stuff a lot. 264 remains for its universal compatibility, and because it did so well for so long ! BUT, and it's a big but, we can't record 10-bit footage in H.264, so that rules out the 2 most cinematically useful modes - D-LOG and the other HDR one, whose name temporarily escapes me...is 64 lower quality than 65? Whats the difference between the two?

is there anyway to use DLOG and HLG ever again? I feel like i spend a lot of money on a drone and now when i try using 65 it doesn't even working ruling out two useful options...Both me and SkyeHigh have mentioned what the main differences are further up in the thread.

There are lots of videos in YT comparing 265/264, some of which give you the 3 minute version for humans, and others of which spend over an hour drilling down into the how's and why's. Those are good to fall asleep to
The only time I’ve seen ‘choppy’ video raised as an issue has been a result of the playback device being unable to cope with the h.265 encoded media and on rare occasions a poor quality or cheap SD card too slow to record the video.is there anyway to use DLOG and HLG ever again? I feel like i spend a lot of money on a drone and now when i try using 65 it doesn't even working ruling out two useful options...
is there anything that can be done...do other people have this issue too?
