It is a computer issue - I have had back and forth issues - good playback after reinstall of Flip software and bad after Windows Media updates. Looks like a Computer performance/Codec issue - camera playback via HDMI is fine. HD is higher data bandwidth and could be putting a strain on even a mid range computer like my own.

I was watching breach last night on my xa2. Everytime i stopped playback it would act like a new movie go thru all the opening stuff and then if kept pressing play would eventually jump to where i had left off. Pretty frustrating.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

This product is great. The sound perfect as u mentioned. The video quality very good. But it needs a lot of adjustments before you can see the video clearly. Other the video is burry, which affects your eyes and makes it unpleasant. The focus in the middle is not clear. My advice is to wait for another version and then buy. There should be announcements in March 2014 for a new one, probably for video game

Q: When playing back a video shot at 600fps or 240fps on my TV or Computer it appears wavy and faded out. What am I doing wrong?

So far , my own mkv files will not play smoothly at all. Tried them from both USB stick and discs and from different sources and can;t get anything other than a highly pixelated picture. These are HD files so maybe that is the problem?So far this is the ONLY trouble I have had with the machine.

D., I stopped in the middle of playing a DVD. I waited 2 minutes then pressed the play button. The DVD began playing right where I had left off, so no, it does not go back to the beginning. One important thing is to familiarize yourself with which button on the remote does what. One of them will take you right back to the beginning.Hope this helps!

I've had my LG 570 for about 3 weeks now (got it the Saturday after Thanksgiving 2010). I had no issue having it see my USB 3.0 external hard drive box with a 2TB WD Green HD formatted in NTFS (with many folders and mkv, avi files on that HD). However, playback of files is hit and miss. MVK (high profile) files did play. Occasionally I'd see a message at the beginning "file may not properly play". The file continued to play, looked good too. DTS audio plays too. During playback, I'd see flickering. It may not occur at first but into the movie it happened (tested on many different mkv files and happens more than not). The mkv movie may also start to stutter (both in video and audio) but not until into the movie. These same mkv files play without issues using a PC or my WD Media player live plus with that same USB hard drive box. Some avi (divx 5, 6) did not play their audio. I re tried to play them and they now had audio during playback!?! I do not believe that this player is a "great" mkv player due to the repeated "flickering" issue I've experienced. If that was not present, I'd keep my LG 570 (I'm gonna return it to best buy). I've only tried 1 bluray movie, Independence Day and it played without issues until the very end where it then just stopped. I've read many have bluray playback issues with various titles on this player. After firmware upgrades, they will find that bluray movies that did play now do not. Firmware was updated on my player too (around end of November 2010) I think I'm at current level. But issues still persist.. I'm truly disappointed that this player isn't a better mkv, avi player. It'd be sweet to get one at 150.00 USD to be able to play such a range of files, disks. LG has much work to do with their players (at least this one)..

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

Hello, Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

Plays back your vids beautifully on your HD TV directly from the camcorder, just make sure you use the correct input jacks on the TV. Won't record tv thru the jacks, as far as I can tell. In a pinch you can steady it on a tripod and point at the tv screen to record--comes out pretty good.

Never had that problem.. I did not update firmware due to me wanting to not have the crappy cineV junk on it. Are you sure the firmware update is not the reason? How was it playing before that update? If it was playing ok before then I would try to download the firmware again if you are able to.

Okay guys I got the player yesterday and had the same problem so I did some massive googling for 2 hours and found the solution: Press Display, and then use the Up and Down arrows to scroll through the different display options. When you see the timestamp go off, just let it sit there for like 4 seconds and the display will go off. I had to do this once for divx videos, and once for dvd videos and have not had a problem since.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.
