Canon 5D Mkii Video Glitching Problems

Hey guys,

Just got my 5d Mkii, spent the day testing out the video function, all was good. The next day i took some more videos but this time when i loaded them onto the computer they would glitch every one or two seconds and wouldn't play smoothly. When i play the video back on the camera it is fine, no glitches what so ever.

Has anyone had this problem before, any tips?

Thanks
Ben.

Probably the computer specs or codec, my 7d vid doesnt play smoothly on my laptop.

Convert it to something smaller. I'm guessing you cannot hardware decode H.264 . You can convert it using Neoscene (120$) or with some free shareware programs

I had this problem also. Here's something else you can try that worked for me.

Download and install VLC media player. Then go into tools\ preferences\ click on Show Settings "All"\ Input code\ Other codecs\ FFmpeg\ then set Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding to "All". Click Save and restart VLC player.

edit: The link on the post above has it right, didn't see that.

Goodo

But if you ever want to set about editing the footage, you'll need to transcode the footage with a better codec.
Eg. I use Cineform Neoscene codec to convert to a more managable but high-Q avi. file, then most computers will handle it smoothly.

What spec's do you have?
