Lumia 920 blurry video

[Jaycool2]

For some reasons, all videos that I record with my lumia 920 are really blurry when played on my surface pro or any laptop (using skydrive). They look great when played on the phone only. What am I doing wrong?

This may sound silly, but check that your not in "close up" mode or something like that.

Its natural that the video would look better on your phone than a pc, but if the degradation is high, then it may be a fault.

Check out the rollercoaster ride video posted on the main site today for how it should look on your pc.

the rollercoaster looks great. All mines are a disaster. They are completely blurry. How do you know if you're using a close up mode?

There is no close up mode of WP video cam to begin with.

Are you uploading them from the phone to skydrive? check your quality settings in your upload and see what they are set to.

Should add another thing. check to see if your camera lens is clean. It might have some oil etc. on it, on a small screen it might not show up, in a large screen it becomes visible.

That could be it, also, double check you have it on 1080p. But yeah, the upload could be it. Try usb-ing it to your pc.

There is a protective film over the lens and flash that is separate from the protective film on the back of the 920. I know it sounds obvious, and I'm not being mean, but I had a close acquaintance that made that mistake.

It was on 720 indeed! Set it up on 1080, and it's working like a charm... Thanks a lot!
