Hi Stephen,<br><br>a) It could also be your processor is not good enough. How old are the laptops you are talking about? (If you type dxdiag into the command prompt you should get the specifics on your processor RAM and other information) <br>
b) You can also try and install latest codec.<br>c) Look for faster machines, if available and test there.<br><br>Hope you will figure it out.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Frank<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 7:54 PM, Claire Bowern <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:clairebowern@gmail.com" target="_blank">clairebowern@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">Dear RNLD list,<br>
<br>
I'm presently in the field in North East India, in Arunachal Pradesh, where incredibly the internet works as well as it does at home.<br>
<br>
I've obtained some Zoom Q3HD recorders for members of the various Tangsa sub-tribes and people have been making some really nice recordings, video and audio. We've been able to download these to some laptops that I've been able to get, but there is a problem
with replay.<br>
<br>
Often, the .mov files that the zoom creates play back but the sound and picture are not synchronised. Either the picture is frozen, or it moves at a much slower rate than the sound. This happened when we tried to play the recording on the latest vlc player
that we had downloaded and installed - the sound was perfect though. When we tried to open it in Windows Media player, we had perfect picture but no sound at all.<br>
<br>
This is obviously very dis-spiriting for people who assume they've made errors in the recordings. I don't know how to fix these problems so I'm asking the list members if you have any advice.
<br>
<br>
Stephen <br>
