Artemis VGA Video Recording (With similar Quality to Nokia N95)

hello
I was wondering whether there is an app out there that enables you to record video in 640*480 resolution, where the quality of the video is similar to the N95.
If processing power is a problem, i can overclock to 260Mhz (and higher if necessary).
All comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance, Uzzy

i'm pretty sure it's a hardware limitation and not a software one.

CoolCamera in theory is supposed to give VGA recording, but whether it's the same quality as the N95 is another question.

I've played about with this in the past, but it always seems a little slow, but it has so many settings that it could be something that just need tinkering with.
Good luck

other programs
are there any other programs for web cam and working good?

Video quality on HD

Is it possible to improve the quality of video on Htc HD , because its very bad what is realy surprising for me ?
Thanks ?

what u talking about?
i just use encoder from this site and i did resize 800x480 dvd for my HD and i have been stuned from quality, not just me, everybody who did watch that lol

Indeed, I use the encoder aswell and have done most of the tweaks on the forums here and the video quality is excellent now. Even good enough to watch an entire movie on it IMO, which you cant say about a lot of devices.

x-mann and antrak, which player do you guys use to get the enjoyable experience?

wat encoder u all refering to?

Just asking the same damn question

Have a look here:

Projection has made a video encoder especially for the Blackstone / Diamond which combined with the memory card tweak should get you non stuttering videos!

Ok. But this is encoder program for all ready recorded videos , but it does not improve the quality of the video when you are recording it on the HD.
Or am I wrong ???
Thanks !

LMAO you're talking about recording video with the HD's camera
There are some tweaks to improve the quality a little;
- Use Mpeg4 (not H.263)
- Change one registry value: in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Taskmanager\Lite. Change "DesiredMemory" to dword: 8192 (default was 4096) (don't forget to soft reset your device).
- It's better in good lighting conditions

well to be onest...i just bought my HD 1 week before and i use default player, i tryed CORE pplayer but same movie is with worse FPS and i use it TCPMP with subtittle suport but i got low FPS again...maby i need to make some settings, as i said im new on hd, so everyone who got some suggestions to watch movies with subtittle suport im gona apriciated

DUDE! The OP is talking about recording video with the onboard camera! Video encoding and playback is discussed a lot so use the search.

Better Recoding Video Quality with XPERIA CAMERA

Hi brothers, now I wrtie to ask if somebody knows where is the register entry for the xperia camera, I think i found it but it won't show all the entries that the HTC cameras show. The HTC cameras registry entries has all detailed on different folders like JPEG settings, medium quality video, high qualitity video, and stuff like that.
Well, I think that I have the solution for the bad quality video of the xperia when you shake o move your phone, I think you know that I mean. You see always pixelation, and that have various reasons. One is that the video format is very bad quality for, it's only 3GP and we don't have a choice like other HTC Cameras when you have MP4, CIF and other formats. Other reason is the video's bitrate and THIS is our solution.
If we can turn up the bitrate of course we'll have better quality in the videos and we can see especialy an improment in scenarios like sports when we have to move the phone very much. Of course, that bitrate increment become the video more heavy but that's something we have to deal with because the quality worth it.
Other solution is find a way to change the video format to H264 or MP4 and combine the bitrate idea with this video format too.
I have been making some experiments but no luck yet. Any ideas?

Nobody?
I'm sure that somebody can post one good idea. Come on people, you guys make the best HTC's roms and more, I don't think you have no idea about solving this. Somebody?

I think its Sony+HTC problem, not something that belongs to here ...
just like u can't have smile shutter, same ways, u can't change recording format ... may be some time in future, Sony might add support for h264 recording in firmwares, just like they added auto flash and geotag in leaked R3AA/R4AA rom.

Thanks for the reply
Thnaks for the answer! You are totally right in every point BUT I think that waiting is not an option for me because I bought the Xperia almost replacing my HTC TyTN + Sony Camera. I like to record almost all the concerts I go and the Xperia is the right option if we can make some camera improvements. I think if someone give me the xperia camera source code I can do everything by myself, or at least that is that I have in mind
Even, I think we can make a few changes for the camera to allow to zoom when recording video (if somebody haven't done it yet..).
In other hand, where can I find the R4AA rom? I didn't know that was already out. Again, thanks for the reply!

there is no r4aa. he was refering to unknown sourced leaked camera app with geotagging and auto flash, which supposed to be present in r3aa, but never was actually.

zoom facility in the video recording of the xperia is a very welcome step...hope somebody smart enough in the xda forum look forward to it...

I think it could be done, because the camera app uses a system file to access the camera, then it uses a video or picture encoder to produce a picture or a video. If somebody change the encoder and set the new parameters or settings into the camera app i think that it will work.

Exactly
And I'm your men, I wanna do that, but I have to view the source code or something. Where can I find it? Anyone on this forum can give me a hand to start working? Thanks!

I think that the better way is create a new camera app and add lots of features and then sell the app to a company like spb.

My HTC Video Camera prob!

I got my TP2 about 4 months ago.. at first I notice that I can record my video with a good resolution, but now, viewing the video feed from the screen is OK, but on the recording, it downgrade to a lower resolution. When I checked the setting, it show 'S 128 x 96' and I cannot change the resolution..
Any idea why? Is it possible to change it through the registry, I can find the location in the registry (together with the extra camera mode tweaks) but not sure which one is the key..
help appreciated since, I need to use my TP2 as a video cam in about a week..
thanks

[Q] possible hacking camera wave S7230

hello everybody, and first, sorry if my english is not very good but i'm french man.
i want to buy a samsung wave 723 or S7230, it is small, light, it makes good photo but very poor video recording 320x240.
so, do someone know if it possible to improve video quality and recording to 640x480 30 fps, by flashing with another firmware??
i ask this question because i've seen on xda forum, that for the galaxy ACE (which run with android) is was possible after an update (at the beginning it records at 320x240 15 fps, and after update 640x480 30 fps !!!!!)
maybe i'm dreaming , but i've thought that the same thing couls be possible with S7230. the probleme is the S7230 run with bada.
if someone know something about improving video recording, please tell me
thak you very much.
