An old slow care I have yes...I recorded the video 60p AVCHD.
Well, looks like the old card is okay for an AVCHD recording, but for future shoots, you might want to invest in some newer, faster cards. For example, take advantage of the sales that are likely to start right after the holidays in many places.
here is the video i took;
https://www.dropbox.com/s/du2n65323iaxuvv/00003.MTS?dl=0
I guess it is lossless cuz It is the same file size with the original one.
I didn't download it but I played it in the Dropbox page, and it run fine. Which means the card and the recording itself are fine, there are no dropped frames or hangs. Therefore the likely cause left is the computer and the software in it.
Which means the good news is, it's mostly a playback issue; you can carry on shooting with your camera and existing card in AVCHD mode, but you'll just need to save the clips for later viewing and editing in some other computer.
I'd recommend that you consider investing in a couple of new, big enough and fast enough cards (for a number of reasons) and, at some point, in newer, faster computer hardware, unless you already have something else to edit with, too.
If you're going to go deeper into video shooting, you ought to invest in some proper editing software, too, like (in case you carry on with Windows) Adobe Premiere. Or maybe you could start with Premiere Elements and practise with it. Although for that you might need something better than the laptop you mentioned.
Your clip did make me smile, btw, as goofing around with one's dog is always fun.
LOL
I am about to hate myself and start thinking that using old gear is a crime!
Nah, just keep in mind that nerdy gearhead forums like this one are also social amplifiers, and tend to get noisy at times. You'll just need to have your filters on, and focus on the relevant.
I am just new at video,so before spending too much money on gear I have to learn first.
That's a good principle to go with.
And If something I am using is able to answer my needs,I don't buy something just because it is new.
Another good principle.
Nevertheless, consider video and video editing in particular one of the heavier computer activities. A one for which you actually do need a decent computer.
It doesn't have to be a pricey overkill for basic HD editing, though, but apparently something better than your old-ish laptop and the software in it. What is sufficient for basic photo editing may not be quite enough for fluent video, let alone fluent video editing.
Again, if you're going to start doing video regularly and properly, you'll also start editing your clips, not just playing them back. In that sense, unless your other computer is mightier than the laptop, consider investing in some hardware, something aimed at graphics-intensive work. Many computers aimed at gamers would do nicely, for example. Same thing if you're planning on upgrading your existing desktop hardware.
I'd recommend that you also give something like Premiere Elements a try, too. Your doggy clip would be a nice one to start practising with. You could edit the first 25 and the last 5 or so seconds out of it, just as your first simple editing exercise. Then carry on to the more demanding tasks from there.
Give the free trial versions a try first, just to see how well they'll run in your existing hardware. That way you won't need to invest in new hardware before it's absolutely necessary.
You'll get the hang of it soon enough. You'll also be able to prepare and upload your clips to YouTube and elsewhere, and you won't have much need for potplayers or whatever much longer. When Premiere Elements starts feeling too limited, you can upgrade to the full Premiere or something similar.
Meanwhile, Merry Christmas and happy holidays, enjoy it with your family and your four-legged goofball.
