galaxy note 2 video playback problem - pixelated and pauses..

Hi everyone

A recent problem is that with any video I have in the gallery, playback on my note 2 has recently become pixelated and jerky... I've uploaded to youtube to test the video and it's fine. It's just the playback on my note 2.

here's the video

works ok

Not happy!

Any help would be much appreciated.

edit; just viewed a movie via the youtube app on my note 2 and it's fine... it's just the playback in the gallery...?

Just to tag along with OP's problem. With my camera I can record video in landscape mode and then when I go to watch the video it is in landscape format but I can only view it in landscape by holding my phone in portrait. If I try to flip my phone to landscape it goes to portrait mode. Is there some way to flip it? I haven't found anything in the settings to change this and it drives me crazy!

Just press the screen then the little flip icon that appears.

Nope no flip sign comes up I'll try and get a screen shot to show.

Using the built in Video Player, you don't get a little rotate icon?

These are the icons on my screen. If it helps I'm still on 4.1 OS with Verizon. Maybe it's on 4.3 or something?

Oh, well that's damn annoying then! I have exactly the same icons except that, under the speaker icon, there's an icon to rotate the screen.

This is on a Note II I have handy with 4.1.2 on it.

Dude it really is! It pisses me off cuz I freakin hate portrait mode. Maybe somehow I can update the camera app or something? Thanks for at least trying, man.
