GH13 - Stuttery Video when Played Back on HDTV

[xocomil]

A friend of mine got a new 42" HDTV and we plugged the GH13 into it using HDMI to look at some tobogganing footage taken that day. Video looked super sharp but with any motion (camera movement or motion within frame) the video stuttered slightly.

I can play the same video on an old crt TV and have no problems.

What gives? Refresh rates?

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Many thanks!

Was this interlaced or progressive footage? Have you tried an alternative input format to the HDMI link?

If I put the SDHC card from the GH13 into the reader built into a Panasonic 42" plasma, the TV will play the interlaced video very smoothly.

Thanks PJF.

I shot at 24p (true progressive). It looked smooth played on an interlaced CRT but not a progressive HD display.
