Sony Nex-5 video file lags on computer

kabaddi — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:25:55 GMT

Recently tried to view videos captures with my Nex-5 on my computer.

I have a problem that the video lags every other second, stops and starts again, through the whole video. I have tried to play the videos on a newer Macbook Pro also, still the same problem.

Videoplayer used are VLC, Windows Media Player and Quicktime, same problem on all of them on different computers.

Memory card used is Sandisk class 6. Is it good enough to record HD video? Is the memory card the problem?

Can anybody help me with what the problem can be?

I sorted it out.

The problem was the file format on the video files. I was filming in AVHCD. That made the file lag on computers. I changed it to MPG 4, now the files work perfectly.
