freezing video - advice needed

kincaid

i have 20 minutes of video footage on sd card, when i insert into my laptop the video plays via windows media perfectly, i copied it across to my laptop harddrive and it freezes at the 4 minute everytime and just stops and starts.
I thought it was a one off but have copied it now 4 times and freezing at same spot on all copies

mate upload the whole thing to youtube as a private video and that will sort it out automatically then select download as mp4 no messing around required regards brian

thanks, only it takes hours here to upload anything to you tube, only getting 2mb -3mb speed most of time then just go down altogether,

Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the video properly.

I had a similar problem when playing videos from a GoPro. They would play fine when camera connected via USB or when SD was inserted in computer. But when I copied them to desktop, they would either freeze or lag. Never found out why - just learned to live with it
