Hi all,
This is a cry for help as I am sure something similar to this must have happened to someone else:
I videoed a friends gig last night using the Nisis/Aiptek DV4 camcorder which records onto my 128mb Sandisk SD card.
I recorded around 60mbs of clips before the card became full. So to create more space I switched the SD card into my XDA and deleted my MP3s. I then put the SD card back in the camera and finished filming another 20mbs.
The camera reset the video clip file names from the start of the second filming session to number 1.
Now when I use the camera or my XDA to look at what's on the card, it shows that there are only the second sessions worth of 4 clips(the 20mbs).
However when I use the XDA settings/memory/storage card tool, it shows that the card has the full 80mbs worth of footage on it.
Is there a developer tool or program or XDA tool that will let me get to this data on the card or extract it onto my PC for editing??
Even if I have to pull the video off the card as one big file will be fine as I will still be able to cut and edit it. The camera records to the .avi format.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as this has me a little confused.
Thanks in advance
Jayman. :?: :?:
i had a similar situation as you did.
my uncle recently bought a kodak digital camera. it uses a sd card (256mb)
he took some pictures, so i figured i would put his sd card in my phone and see if i could view the pictures
not possible. the camera formated the sd card in such a way that the xda could not read it
i didnt try my sd card in his camera
maybe try putting the card u took the video on, into a sd card reader for a pc ?
i have a pcmcia multicard reader for my laptop, and it reads most everything. i use my xda sd card in it, my olympus compact flash in it, etc... a sony memory stick. it reads everything

Hi,
i converted a few movies with h264/512kbits/25frames. The movie plays a few seconds smooth, than it dropps a few frames... How comes?
Does this depend on the read access speed of my sdhc card? Its class 6.
The same problem playing podcast e.g. rtl akuell, best of youtube.

Mine is working great with vids.
I have SILICON POWER 8GB MicroSD.
Maybe it comes from the way they are converted.
Try doubleTwist. It's working great with my Hero.
I used EncodeHD. It's a fantastic program converts about anything to anything. Including a recent update to have a conversion profile of "T-Mobile G1".
That has same screen size and res and G2 so works like a dream
The following both worked fine for me:
1) Encode with http://handbrake.fr with the ipod/iphone preset.
2) Download video from http://video.google.com via "Download video - iPod/PSP"
I tested a bit with further h264 options, and B-frames are definitely not supported (just like iphones/ipods). Size-wise, I find that with all h264 tricks turned on, one hour of full resolution TV at pretty good quality ends up being 300-400MB. Restricting to h264 playable on the iphone/Hero and resizing to 480 pixels wide, the file ends up 150-200MB at similar quality.
It is not a problem with the converting.
I tried handbrake, videora, TMPGEnc etc.. all programs I use for my iphone.
I also tried less resolution, less frames, 512 kbs.. etc.
The problem is the same with regular video podcast.. in 320*240...
It looks like the video stutters for a small moment.
Maybe my phone is not o.k.?

More likely the problem is with the mini SD card, I think. I used the 2GB card that came with the Hero, which is class 4 I think. Maybe try a different card or test your card on a different computer.
Not an unusual problem by the looks of it but sooooo annoying and soooo many options to try and fix the problem.
(edit - just to clarify, its more of a skidding than a skipping - the sound/rhythm is stretched and short of shudders like when a CPU is under-load with other apps running, but I've currently got over 100MB at idle.)
I've read the following forum which has so many options in it and a lot of good info so I'm going to slowly work through a few of the options with my Xperia and see what might solve the skipping issue.
http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/72913-music-player-skipping-cause.html
I initially started using the stock player that came with the Neo and noticed it skipping every now and then but then yesterday when coming home from a music festival with a few new albums it came to time to STOP the skipping.
I always copy files from original CD's at the highest quality and then drag and drop them directly into the folder on the SD card to cut out any other application adding its musical interpretation into the tracks with missed data and timing etc (this is a practice I started years ago so hopefully the tracks are the best they can be)
So from here I start fiddling with the device......
1) I noticed that I dont get any skipping when using ES File Explorer to play the files but the problem ES File explorer is that it doesn't appear to have a shortcut directly to its media player and I dont want to have to go hunting for files EVERY time I want to play music.
2) So now I've started Meridian just as a test and it definately made an improvement = less skipping but still some
3) So I"ve moved Meridian to System App as suggested in the Forum and I'm running the player and keeping a close ear on it to see if it skips.
If it does the next step will be to start using "AnTuTu CPU Master Free" and setting it to start from boot and set it to raise the minimum processor level to around 400 MHz
If anybody who actually knows about this stuff has any ideas I'd be interested in hearing them.
I dont know why EX file explorer plays the files better than anything else I've tried - I have made it a system (ages ago) but I would also like to know what it uses for media playing? is it using its own complete of settings or whatevers? or is it piggy backing off the standard player? If I uninstall the standard player will ES still work?
If ES is using its own settings - how does it take control of things so well that the skipping stops?
What other media players take majority of control and ----------dam it just skipped, so I'm rewinding to see if its the track.............nope---------(ok onto the next plan and increasing processor idle speed.
4) Increased Idle speed to as close to 400 as I can and 3 min later - still skipping! c##p
Now what? I'm going to go away and think about this some more - if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
I'm trying to replicate your fault but so far its been playing pretty well, Havn't noticed any skipping, stutters or whatever for the last hour or so.. I did notice a slight jitter when I first started up the music player (Stock) but that was just on startup.. now its rock solid.
you might have some service/App running in the background thats causing some CPU strain or memory hogging momentarily.. I would suggest checking your logcat either with adb terminal or an app that can show you your logcat. check this to see if your getting any low memory warnings or any other errors.
I'll start up a bunch of services and apps and see if I can get my music to skip, Ill also search my music collection for the highest bitrate files I can find (might be that I just use lower bitrate MP3's and so they don't strain the RAM and CPU as much as your high bitrate ones)
I'll let you know if I can get my music skipping like yours.

I've experienced this before, turns out it was the SD Speed Increase app settings that was causing the trouble. Apparently, if I change the setting to anything other than the stock (128 [bytes allocation unit?]), my music would randomly stutter/skid. Left it to stock and never installed it again. I hope this helps.
I've had it too, using UberMusic and CPU Tuner. The problem is not the minimum cpu speed, because the cpu will be running full speed when the screen is on (or more than the minumum). With the screen off profile, my cpu is running at 122MHz, and still no stuttering.
I think the problem is caused by low RAM. Uninstall any unneccesary app and try if the problem persists when you're not multitasking.
I've experienced the same problem a few times using stock music player.. but recently I downloaded google music and never experienced it again... you might want to try this app since it's made by google and ui design is awesome!(ics like)
I've been listening to music for 3 straight hours now, I've managed to get it to stutter twice, once opening a news app (CPU strain while updating web pages?) and once when I opened a file explorer (I repeated that action several times since and couldn't get it to repeat the fault) logcat on both occasions mentioned an error: DMAMISSED 32 for the audio driver. In computer terms DMA means "direct memory access" or the newer version Ultra DMA. this is a little chip that accesses external memory (firstly directed by the CPU but then it frees the CPU up to do other stuff while its reading away, kinda like having a second cpu just for reading your music, but it still needs to get commands from the CPU) and I'm guessing that the missed 32 error is the DMA not getting the message from the CPU in time, perhaps the CPU is busy with something else? or whatever, I'm going to suggest running lower bitrate mp3's and see if it still stutters as much (if at all) try ripping a cd at or under 192kbps stereo or even 128kbps.. What bitrate are you running now? 320kbps? Or variable bitrate? Still not sure if its the problem but would help to eliminate it.
DMA Errors could also be caused by an SD card fault.. might be worth trying another card and seeing if it stutters.

I wouldn't have a clue about this bit-rate thing your talking about - how do I check this?
I've also stopped using the CPU minimum speed thing because I think it caused my phone to totally crash and not display any menu's at all - so had to re-install from clockwork mod boot.
When I'm listening to music I'm not ever doing anything in the background with the phone - it just sits on the table or on the seat of the car - this is when it skips.

thanks for the feedback - currently I have 61 mB free on ROM and 86 MB internal and then 1.37 GB on SD. Also I'm not doing anything else with the phone when the skidding occurs.

Situation summary..............
1) Minimum processor speed app removed due to possible fatal error and notes above suggesting no difference (which is what I thought also).
2) SD speed increase app removed
3) Still running Meridian player due to user friendliness and less skidding - (might go back to stock app to help create more skidding so I can isolate the problem.
4) Track bit-rates might be too high - I will try this as a last resort once I've tried the other options.
5) Try another SD card - hmmm maybe I'll try this another day when I've got some spare cash
In my case, the track bit rates aren't a problem since I often have 320kbps and variable bit rate mp3 files being played in the stock music player and I experience no jitter/skidding.
Ok -
* Instant skidding using Stock Media player with "SD speed increase" app uninstalled.
I'm also running
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.freeb.automm
Would this cause skidding?
Now I'm going to re-rip the CD I'm listening to at a lower rate and see how that goes.
----right I've done that and also realized that when I put the original music files on my phone I hadn't converted them from WAV to MP3 so they were huge files. I've now re-ripped the cd in WAV and then converted the files to MP3 so now the files are approx 3 MB instead of 30 MB.
So now I will play them on the stock player and see how they respond.
that has been happening to me ever since i updated to .42 and i didnt know whether it was because i was fiddling with the phone (rooting, installing ics them which .62 reset to SE GRRR ) or whether it was just the amount of music and i had recently added Kasabians new album Velociraptor .. it was really ("was" hehe) especially because i would play it in the car connecting it to a jack lead on my radio .. and it was driving (no pun intended lol) me mad .. but then today i found my mini mp3 dock and though id plug it in and whack a few songs Foo Fighters and the like .. and I swear it didnt jump/skid/skip/slip once .. it was perfect .. and this was all before i updated to .62 about 10mins ago .. hopefully its all ok .. gotta check and make sure its still rooted
anyway thats my version of events .. peace out

Thanks for your input.....are you trying to say that you dont get any skipping when you use the mini mp3 dock rather than the jack lead?
I get skidding both through the lead and through Bluetooth.
Since reducing the size and format of the files I've not had any skidding or skipping.
I encountered a problem with my SGS2 GT-i1900G. My phone tends to hang while I'm listening to music using headphone.Usually it stuck when the phone was in standby mode. I'm a newbie, please give me some advise. I had tried to store my music on external sd and also internal storage but the problem still occurred.I had tried all the best that I can includes:-
1. Factory recovery.
2. Close down all unused apps.
Please. I need help
Delete the cache your music / wipe the dalvik cache via recovery
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
S2 hang while listening to music
Glad i found someone else encounter the same issue.
It happened to me as well while on earphone and phone went idling. I am also on S2 I9100G. When this happens, i need to take out the battery too.
I have changed a couple of memory card. From kingston to sandisk.
Nothing works. At first, i thought it was memory card but if like the OP mentioned. It happened to internal memory. It will happen all the time.
I am using the default music player. I notice that the player would not play in background because once you press the phone button. The music player stop.
My next trial would be using the winamps player and not the default player to see if this still happen. Winamp (widget) allows simultaneous running of other thing while listening to music.
Hope someone found a solution for this. It looks like a manufacturer defects. Either hardware or software.
I'm having this issue too, hope it gets fixed
Tried winamps, same thing.
I have tried winamps. Same problem still.
This sucks.
strangr u all using the default smmy headphones???????try a diff one and post the result
I have used different headphones with my s2 but the problem still there!...wht i think when ur using mobile network switch from 3G to 2G e.g, music player get hangs...
I accquired a 128 GB SD card a while back after losing my iPod. This was put into my phone hoping it could be a worthy replacement and also more practical that I would only need one device to carry around all the time. My problem however is that most music apps if not all are really slow to browse and they also trigger the "Do you want to close the application" dialogue when they are launched. They eventually respond, but having to wait for that each time is really cumbersome.
Is there anything I can do to get a faster experience with music players in general? I mostly use shuttle+, but other players are really slow to use aswell. I do have a big library of about 100 gigs and about 15k songs, so maybe that plays a part.

Even your laptop will have delay to load 100GB of data! and maybe freeze if load them immediately.\
anyway If you think there is unusual delay in media play app first check the sd-card format
(format it to FAT32)
and also tell about sd-card detail? brand? is it C10/U1?
> for stock music play (Walkman)
- clear cache/data and force stop then install the latest update (you can find simply by a search)
- If it doesn't help try to repair firmware of phone by PC companion
> for 3rd party music player
- just contact its developer (tell them about amount of data + details of sd-card and phone)
:good:

It's formatted to exFAT, isn't that supposed to be suitable? It's a 128GB sandisk C10 card. Regarding the amount of data, it doesn't play slowly on any computer. I can easily make a library of the songs in itunes and play songs with album art etc without any issues. The walkman application, while good, doesn't have thumb scrolling meaning that it will take ages to go through several thousand artists. Shuttle+ has this along with many other players. Clearing cache etc. doesn't fix it, neither does a soft/hard reset of the phone.
