It sounds like a hard drive issue to me.
When you record, then watch and delete, the same part of the drive could be getting the most use, leading to a bad sector which always causes your playback to break up or jump.
You should reformat the disk in the machine if you can?
Failing that take the drive out and format it on a computer as an external drive.
If you do need to connect it to a pc do a quick search for "Seagate drive tools", download it and check your drive with that.
It should tell you if the drive has any faults or bad sectors etc.
Be warned it can take quite some time, so just leave it to run and complete as it has to check all the blocks on the drive!
