Yes, turn anti shake off if possible. For on track use, you will often get ugly effects...

Hi, i dont want to start new topic, so i will ask here.

Yesterday I tried for the first time On-board with Overlay. Recording is OK, clear picture, data saved. If I play recorded video without overlay in phone its everything ok, but if I apply overlay and then play video in phone, then picture has huge count of artefacts. Its strange, because if I copy overlayed video to PC/YouTube its everything OK :| Where may be the problem?

In phone i´m using MX player for videos

Looks like an incompatibility between the video format generated and your smartphone's video decoder. Does this happen for every overlay generated or is this an intermittent problem?

I´ve tried it 3 times on same video, but with diferent Overlay settings, result is same. It´s a minority problem for me, because in PC is everything ok, but it´s scare me when I saw it for first time.

Yes, it would be very difficult to fix that anyway. As video drivers are often OS version and manufacturer specific there is a certain chance it is going away with every Android update. Have you tried the different overlay quality settings? That is actually the only place the encoder level is influenced.
