Viewing mpeg2/AVCHD directly from a SD card on a TV

[Ravis]

Hi!

I struggled a lot to find out how to view mpeg2 files directly from a SD card on my Panasonic G10. At last, I found this app that did the magic needed:

The movie shows up and my TV plays it. However, the playback of the movie(HD footage) does'nt run smoothly. My question is: Is it likely that the read-capasity of my SD card is too poor, and I need at new high end SD card to playback the movie smoothly?

Thanks

it might be either of those reasons

what are the specs of the mpeg2 file? you can use mediainfo. If the bitrate exceeds the rated class and transfer characteristics of the SD card, that card might not be adequate.

it could also be firmware versions, you could try a different version - you could check other forums that deal directly with your model that's probably the best place to look

also , what version of multiavchd? there were some major compliance changes a few days ago in a new release. So update and try again

Thanks for your help!

I'll feed the thread with my findings

I upgraded to the last version of MultiAVCHD and did the conversion once again => Same result

I guess the speed rates are next to be checked.

I do not really know the speed rates of my 2Gb Kingston SD card, but I bought a new 8Gb Apace SDHD Class 4 card. However, my card reader does'nt seem to support it... So, off I go to buy a new card reader that enables me to use the Panasonic SD card formatting software.

I'll feed the thread with my findings.

As far as I know, SD_VIDEO supports only SD video (720x480 and 720x576). That's your problem.
