Playing video files from external hard drive!!

[Tufftoad]

I am able to play MP4 and AVI and the size of the file ranges from 700mb to 2.4gb. I had 2 films both 720p and both were in MP4 format. Film A was 2.5gb and playback was fine on stock player. However Film B was 2.1gb and the player kept lagging badly, forcing me to exit and close down the app. I think there are quite a few variants when it comes to video files, it could be the way the video was compressed or encoded?

What are the videos... recorded from a personal source (camcorder etc) or feature length videos?

The problem wiganblue has is that the videos work on his phone...from the internal storage only. If wiganblue tries to playback a video from the external it screws up.

Thanks for your help guys but I think it's the SD. I've tried a couple of others and they seem to be ok.

Glad You found the solution. Such a lovely screen and difficulties with playing videos.

32gb kingston class 4 works fine for me so far on all videos.
Perhaps your card was faulty.
