Soldato
EDIT: RESOLVED BELOW
Sorry, I wasn't sure if this is a General, Video, Storage or Software issue, so opted for General. It relates to poor video playback via an external USB, using an old laptop.
My wife has just bought a new, fancy camcorder.
The camera has a level 10 micro SD card, might be relevant, I'm not sure.
She also bought an external USB HDD to store the videos, as her old laptop is running out of space. It is a Toshiba HDTB105EK3AA 500GB Stor.E Basics USB 3.0 2.5 Inch External Hard Drive.
If she downloads the video direct to the C drive, playback is fine.
If she puts the video onto the external HDD, playback is pixelated.
Is the HDD not fast enough?
Is the USB not fast enough?
Is there a driver issue?
What can I do to fix? There is not enough space on the laptop to store the videos.
Thanks
