I am using an external OTG Adapter to play videos on an SD card. They skip so the video is poor. I am told to getting a faster SD card. Suggestions?

Hello Alex, Even with slower class 4 SD card still generated fast enough transfer rate (read/write) to play back a HD video. The one I used is SanDisk ultra 64GB class 10 I bought it from amazon, it work just fine. I have noted that way back when I downloaded more than a dozen of free apps from google play store based on rating and testing them to see which one work best and found out that many media (video) player program are in premature development stage, their playback are sluggish and freezing all the time, few others are just ok because they are too simple and lacks of features, but the only one I am interested is the MX player, my search ended and this MX player is the only one I using today on my Samsung s3 cellphone and my new Samsung tab 3 I just bought from amazon. regardless HD or SD the playback is flawlessly with this MX player. I think before you spend more money for faster SD card may be you should download and try this MX player to see if the poor video playback problem solved if not then switch to faster class10 SD memory card. Remember after you download and open the player for the first time, it may prompt to download CODE for the MX player to work properly. Once the player open, select a file you want to play them then go-to setting by select tool/setting/decoder and place check marks on all those check box that uses H/W+ decoder, then you are done and all of your video now should playback smoothly. By the way I had been using this MX player for the past 2 plus years until today. I hope this help and good luck!

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

I think it is because the card is just for storage of files. You should also check to see if your settings are set to load to the sd card. I still am telling everyone, this is a sincere waste of money. They have the worst customer service also. Read the comments under "It just exploded" I explain why this is a piece of junk and my friend, I would not recommend this to my worst enemy.

I use a generic Class 10, 64-gigabyte Micro SD card that I bought on eBay for $20. Works fine.

The memory stick, even the Duo Pro, which needs an adapter to fit the adapter, is slower than some of the high speed CF cards. And when you're trying to shoot 3 fps, speed of the media counts.

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

Class 6 micro sd card will work, a class 10 is too fast for it skips frames and class 4 has a few issues with being recognized fully. Class 6 cards are the best way to go

I use a 64GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC class 10 card, and it works great.In reality, it gets 60 GB storage on it. I also tried an older "class 4" 32 GB SD card and it worked fine, but "Class 10" is better, because it reads & writes faster. It reads and writes files fine in the tablet, mostly for music apps and movie apps. I haven't had any issues with apps not being able to write to it. I set the music, movie, and camera apps to store on the external SD. I transfer files to it on my Macbook pro using the Android File Transfer app, without having to take out the SD card.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

I find it amazing that you are able to use a 32GB much less a 64GB. I'm using a Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter (SDC4/16GBET) that was sold a a bundle and have no problems with the card. The dash cam is ummmm. Hmmmm. You get what you pay for. Don't upgrade the card. Upgrade the camera and card or it won't be worth your money. Put the videos on your PC and format the card FAT32 after.

Almost all SD cards over 4 gb will give you a 9 minute video max I found. That's a camera limitation and not the limitation of your SD card. I found that after the 9 minutes, I restart the video and make another 9 minute video. The only tradeoff is I have to edit the video to make the transition from the first to the second video as smooth as possible.

Is anyone aware how long a video can be recorded on a 2GB SD card vs. a 4GB card? I'm not sure which frame rate video options the SD800 offers but assuming there's a "good" quality rate, how many minutes can I expect to get on each? I'm debating on whether to splurge on the 4GB card.thanks!!

I would recommend a sd hc card that says for video. I bought one cheap from tiger direct and it works great. It is for my son's camera. Good camera for starters

I'm not sure. I am using Sony SDHC 32 GB cards, with a transfer rate of up to 40mb/s, which should be more than sufficient for the format I'm capturing. It seems to be working fine. I don't know why there would be any difference in quality between the cards. As long as the card can capture the video sufficiently fast, quality shouldn't be an issue. The quality comes from the lens and sensors.

I bought a random SD card and it didn't work so I got the SanDisk microSD adapter with the SanDisk 4GB. I bought it at Walgreens. Hope this helps!
