The 1520 butchered my concert video recordings

[TravelBro]

I recorded a 18 minute video of my apartment and had no issues. Full HD quality and smooth

Seems ok so far, will do longer vids tomorrow and check......my issue is the poor performance of the camera itself and more so the noise filled videos...low light is horrible.

I recorded a whole concert last night and while the audio quality was amazing, all the videos lag and skip throughout, almost like there's missing frames here in there . Does anyone know why the video would lag and skip like that? I'm so ticked off about it that I'm thinking of returning this thing.

Do the videos play fine on the computer?

A LOT of Sandisk cards online are fake these days

I have this: Transcend 32Gb microSDHC Class 10 (Premium)

It should have 20Mb/s read and 17Mb/s write. Dunno if ti's enough for 1080p@30fps since one of my test videos shows 19247kbs transfer rate. Time will tell. Should have gone to UHS-I rating card since it was only 7? more.

Transcend I will never use again, horrible performance and corruption. Use PNY and Samsung in stead, slightly cheaper than Sandisk but very reliable

Guys, THE SD CARD IS NOT THE ISSUE.

This issue was even shown in Nokia's own Demo video for the 1020! The helicopter flyover video. 1020 doesn't have SD Card slot.

Beyond this, turn off gimmicky 24fps. Low frame rates will only add to stutter.

People don't realize, your display need to be setup to handle 24fps for most sources. More than likely, whatever you're watching it in just converts it to 30fps and then doubles it for a 60hz refresh rate. Basically, unless you are recording to Bluray disc's or you have your PC to actually output 24fps (why? Lol) your not going to benefit. Beyond that, you still need a newer display that can actually support 24fps (refreshes at 48/72/96/120/240hz) and not just convert it to 30fps.

Any modern TV should be able to display video at 24fps, and as that's the frame rate for traditional film content, you might get a 'filmic' look. But indeed if you're playing back via a PC or phone, even to a proper TV, it will probably be converted to 50 or 60fps and look bad.
If your TV can play content from USB stick or DLNA, you could try one of those methods, and 24fps video should look much better.
