Well..I decided to try out a feature movie and downloaded onto my Kingston 8GB microSD card (class 4).

I used VLC to play the movie and although the soundtrack played no problem, the video was chinked and scattered. I then went online to find out what could be the matter...and in that due diligence, was shown that class 4 (the most common) is below spec's for video. You need a class 6, or better yet, a class 10 for read/write speeds.

So...another Ho,Ho,Ho trip to the store for a 32 GB (yeah...I'll load it up with vids and music, lol) class 10.

For books, pictures, and music though, the most common class 4 rated card is just fine. It's only read speed for videos that needs the faster class cards. That was my experience,...
