Choppy Video when tranferred from Digital Camera to Computer

[RKelly]

Hello,
I recently bought a Canon S2 IS camera and played with the video recording a bit. After transferring the video from a 60x SD Card via my HP 2410 Printer (SD card slot), the video/audio is very choppy and basically unplayable. Note the video playback is fine on the camera itself. This happened to me earlier this summer as well, when a friend sent me a video file she recorded using her camera, same choppiness issues! She told me the file played fine on her computer, so at the time I just figured the file messed somehow during the online transfer. I tried to resolve this issue by encoding the files using TMPGEnc, but the program error message states "cannot open, or unsupported". What am I doing wrong here? Can somebody please help? Thanks.

The movies are compressed with mjpeg compression. Do you have an mjpeg codec installed ?

Try VLC (VideoLAN) it has a built-in MJPEG decoder.
