Why is my high-definition video slow or choppy on the TV?
When you upload a file, Adeus Pendrive optimizes its resolution and bitrate without noticeably affecting the final quality. What doesn't change is the frame rate (fps) of the original file.
That's why, even at lower resolutions, the device playing the video needs to support the fps of the uploaded file. If the fps is higher than the device supports, the video may be slow or choppy.
What devices usually support
| Format | Resolution | Support |
|---|---|---|
| FullHD/30fps | 1920x1080 | Most current devices handle it very well |
| 4K/60fps | 3840x2160 | Only some more powerful devices |
Even if you upload a 4K file, it can be played on devices that support FullHD, as long as the file's fps is within the limit supported by the device. In most cases, that standard is 30fps.
Tip: if your device supports a maximum of 30fps, upload videos at 30fps or lower.
How to find out what your device supports
If you're not sure whether your device supports higher frame rates:
- Check the device's technical specifications.
- Adjust the video playback quality in the TV settings.
- Contact our support team for help.
