I just got this thing, and I was watching a recorded movie, I get half way through, and the audio starts skipping, then the video. If I stopped, fast forward a bit, then play, it would be on for a second, then it screwed up again. Alot of money for somthin that should work perfectly. Explain please.

Hello shutterinfear,

What device are you currently using to play back the recorder 2 files?  Do you own a PSP, ipod video, PDA or are you just using the PC?

In addition, what compression setting are you using?  WQVGA, QVGA or TV VGA?  And also, what file quality setting are you using? Economy, normal, fine or superfine?

Were the video you are playing back recorded with the Recorder 2 or are these videos from another source? If so, what is the format?

You make it sound like you recorded it on a Neuros and played it back possibly on something else... if so, and if you can temporarily fix the problem by fast forwarding and starting again, then the Neuros is definitely not the problem.

I too am having this same problem.

Video is recorded on the Neuros ... quality is "normal" QvGA. Recorder is version 2 (PSP). Playback is on a 1GB memory duo pro stick. File size is about 700MB.

About an hour into the movie, sync issues arise. And yes, fast forwarding or stopping and starting resets the sync ... by the end of the movie, playback is unwatchable with video far behind audio.

Any solutions?

PS: This is never an issue with shorter movie files (one hour or less)

Thanks

Has it happened with all files above a certain size or has it been an issue with only 1 file?
If it has happened with more than 1 file, are you always using the same card? If so, I would try to format the card and see how it works.

I have a sandisk blue 1gb card and a sony black 1gb card. The sandisk I find has a faster data transfer rate. But the problem persists on BOTH cards and it really doesn't matter which movie I load onto them.

I will however, try formatting one of the cards and do a retest.

Formatting seems to help. I formatted the faster of my two 1gb sticks (the blue Sandisk) and a movie that previously gave me trouble played in sync right to the end. I also noticed the little red blinking light on the left of the PSP (indicating that the psp was "reading" the flash memory) was hardly blinking at all this time. Previously, when I had sync problems, you could see that light flashing much more frequently... indicating that the psp was searching for "fragments" of data and thus slowing everything down.

So even though "deleting" large files, there still seems to be some fragmentation on the flash memory. The only way I can see to solve this is to format the card using the PSP (or possibly a card reader). Unfortunately, you lose everything, including any songs, photos, or favourite web sites stored on that card.

I guess one solution would be relegate one card for movies, and another (smaller card) for everything else.

Hope this helps.

Great info, thanks.
I believe you are right about the file fragmentation being the issue. The longer the recording, the bigger the file and the more fragmented it will be if you already have other files on the card. It is a good tip to add to our wiki when you get a chance.
