go 720p, it seems to work best for me, even though it's not super clear

could be several things:

most likely would be that the card isn't class 4 or higher which is required.....
or your computer is too slow to handle the images....


i think its unlikely the gopro is the problem.

does it make a difference in playback speed if you first copy the videos to your harddrive instead of playing them back on the card?

if it just says 2gb then it is probably just a really shitty/old card. get a new one that is minimum class 4 and see if that solves it.

I have a Hero HD, querying that a shitty Radioshack 8g Class 2 card works fine. I think, videos seem fine and Pics look good. If i got a class 4, the vids and pics would be better how?

Class 4 is needed, but class 2 works?
