What video player do you use to play back the mp4 footage you have taken. ?

I always used to use VLC and was very happy with that.

However when I purchased a P2V+ (V3) I almost sent it back to DJI as the video quality appeared to have taken a huge step backward from the V2.

There was a huge amount of motion jagadness and it looked like I was viewing through a mozzie net.

I normally run 1080P 30fps and everything set as auto/standard.
Going down to 720p removed these "effects".

I then tried a different video player "Quick time" and the effects no longer presented themselves.

Just seems odd that the V3 footage does not work as well in VLC.

Screen shot below from the different players.

See how the props get jaggatised, the lamp post on the left and the mozzie screen effect on the 2nd picture.

Any ideas why >

VLC is absolutely my favorite player but it can't seem to handle my 2.7k 60fps or 1080p 120fps native gopro videos well, I use the GoPro Studio software for clipping and editing those. it's easy and free, gets the job done fine

iMovie for editing and QuickTime to play!

The screen shots above are from 1080p 60 fps but the same goes with 30 fps.

but on only on the v3

If you have Flytrex Core or Flytrex Live, you may want to try Dashcam Viewer. It syncs the video to your position on a Google Map. Works with GoPro videos recorded at 1080p and lower res. Here's a video demo.

The software was originally developed for automobile dashcams, but has been adapted to work with the Phantom2 w/GoPro and Flytrex loggers. In fact if you load a GoPro video and Flytrex data, the little car icon in the compass turns into a Phantom. ;-) Runs on Macs and PCs.

You can't get 1080p and 60fps, it has to be 1080i
The problem with the bad video frame is interlacing, are you sure it's not on on 1080p in the good one?

Yes it is 1080i at 60fps

On VLC none of the 1080 resolution look good (from the V3) 30fps, 25 fps

Which is odd

I use Final Cut Pro and Quicktime
 
Re: What video player do you use to play back the footage ta

Either Quick Time or Windows media player. It all depends on the type of media being viewed.
