Video lags while recording...

Ok, first my specs:
-Rooted running MikG v2.45
-Recording 800x480 mp4 (but also tried 3gpp)
-Stock 8gb MicroSD card

So just about every time I record video, my video briefly "hangs" (see examples)

Anyone else experiencing this or know what's causing it (or even better, have a solution)? It's one of those small quirks that drives me crazy.

do you have auto sync at certain times on ur phone? for ur email or facebook or anything like that? maybe that might be a cause of the lag for the short period of time??

What's the speed of your SD card

The stock microSD card is a class 2 card. That is what he stated that he is using. I recommend that he get a class 4 or higher card.

Thanks for your input, I think I will try a faster card.

On a side note, I just now realized that despite what format I have the camcorder set to record in (3gp or mp4), the file extension is ALWAYS .3gp. I prefer mp4 (only b/c it's what's natively recognized by my windows machine), but I can't tell any better quality in either one from past experience. I just loaded MikGs v2.45 ROM last week (was previously v2.1), and this issue surfaced only after that. Over to themikmik.com to troll for answers...

Thanks again...

leave it to htc to provide a card too slow to utilize its own camera lol

I have a stock EVO with the 2.3.3 update. I have the exact same laggy and jerky playback. I called sprint. They tried to reset stuff from there. Then transferred me to higher tech support. They said it was due to the update. And for me to hard reset. I haven't tried that yet. It's such a pain to re set up all the apps etc. If I record on a lower res it seems to be ok although the sound sometimes is way out of sync.
