Hello there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that video recording on PDA is bad in each resolution, but is way to record video on Artemis in 320x240? 176x144 is very poor and other PDAs have possibility record video up to 352x244. Artemis probably has "weak" CPU for greater resolution. But know and use anybody some app or patch to increase video recording resolution? I try coolcamera, but it doesn't useful.
yes i would like to know too......
...
Really any experiences?
This would be a great thing i do alot o recording of video with my Artemis, anyone got a good work around for it?
Just bringing this thread back up incase someone has found a solution.
Would some registry hack work to increase video resolution??
Sorry if I'm bumping this old thread, but I didn't want to open one by myself.
So... anyone has a solution for this *lack* of our beloved Artemis?
me too ...
i wanna know if anything i can do to increase the video resolution
Solution?
Have you guys tried change this registry key?
HKey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\ReParam\MP4Large (or Medium or Small).
Change the FramRate value from 10 to 19
*don't exceed 19
I haven't yet, but I heard it works fine......
So?Anybody?
Is there any tweaks or fixes which can help the lag of the camera? I find when trying to take a picture the display is some what delayed which makes it harder to capture random quick photos and videos. Also the delay in which a photo is snapped and actually taken is relatively slow. Can the performance be improved? I searched around but haven't seen much for the Touch Pro 2.
It would be great if someone had registry tweaks or cabs to increase performance!
Thanks
I know for sure you need the photos going to main memory - if you select storage card it will be slow. :-(
yea thats a good point! The main video delay is in artifical light as outdoors the display seems responive, guess the extra processing it needs to do whilst lining up a shot in darker scene slows it down
...does anyone know of any registry tweaks which could improve performance in darker light settings?
I know there has been much discussion with settings for the camera but I haven't found anything helpful in regards to camcorder settings.
I tried to record part of a concert last night and the video and the sound were horrible. Also tried a few videos in daylight and the results were less than stellar.
1st what is the best resolution? I heard using the 720p compresses the file too much so WVGA, VGA, CIF or QVGA?
2nd what is best encoding type? H.263 or MPEG4?
Flicker adjustment? Auto, 50Hz or 60Hz?
I guess I could play around with the settings for awhile but figured why reinvent the wheel if someone has success with settings they are using.
Any help would be appreciated

EDIT**
I have just uploaded V2 of my profile - I have lowered the Bitrate slightly and changed from 3gp to mp4 file format.. I have also enabled 720p for the front facing camera - Let me know if the lowered bitrate still performs as well.
Folks,
This is my edited media_profile.xml for far better 720p recording.. thought I would share it..
I have upped the bitrate from just 1MB/s (default)to around 4MB/s.. for me, it is clearly better when played on my Monitor or Television.. smoother, more detail and appears clearer.
I have tried a higher bitrate but found this to be a good balance between size and quality.
I have also tried editing the xml for 1080p recording but cannot get higher than 14fps when recording so have not included it..
to install, just unrar the media_profiles.xml and copy it to /system/etc and reboot.... REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST.
This has worked for me, but if you end up in a boot loop, pushing the original file should fix it.
Hope you enjoy it.

Do you have a comparison video or anything? This is the kind of thing I want to see before flashing.
Nice find!
I can see the difference just watching play back on the xoom! Alot smoother...ill check out the HDMI when I get home.
Will this work on any Android device? Say my DX? I take way more video on that.

have you a stock Kernel or Custom Kernel + overclocked CPU?
Works well, I have a similar hack for my Nexus.
Easy and simple improvement for video recording.
Using Hammerhead 2.1 & Tachi OCed kernel.
@bracken21 = does this affect the still camera picture taking?
Thank you very much, great mod.
Hi,
@Sergio PC -This does not affect the picture quality only the video..
@twister_65 -I had this completely on stock 3.1 with stock kernel and worked fined.. I'm now running it with Hammerhead 2.1 & Tachi OCed kernel.
Even OCed @1.6, when I enable 1080p recording there is no increase in FPS, it stays at around 14FPS.. I presume the actual sensor is not capable of [email protected]
@mradlauer - I have no idea if this could be done to the DX, I presume so, but what resolution, bitrate and FPS would depend on the device.. if its anything like the Xoom, putting in an unsupported profile may result in a boot loop ?
If there is interest I can upload another profile with settings as follows... but I find it pointless as 1080p @ 14fps is unwatchable.. I have tried increasing/decreasing the Bitrate but still only does 14fps.
1080p 6MB/s @ 14fps when high quality selected.
720p 4MB/s @ 30 when low quality selected.
720p @ 30fps for front facing camera.
Thanks
Bracken
720p for front would be awesome.
Great, i just would love to have it recording in MP4
€: Wait, trying it now
€²: Works Thx for This
Would changing any of these lines to 100 improve photo quality too?

Front camera now enabled for 720p and file format changed to mp4

truly great work here. thank you
im just surprised no one had done this sooner, but better late than never!!
ive only played wtih it for litterally 30 seconds however i noticed that upon pressing the record button for a video using the front facing camera, it zooms in and stretches the image vertically in the preview window. i dont think that it actually records it like this but it seems to be some sort of graphical glitch....maybe you could look into it?
id like to say thanks again. did you change anything for the still images in v2 or somthing? because i no longer see those weird lines when taking photos with the front facing camera.
THANKS!

I've noticed the same issue when recording from the front camera
Excuse me, but trying this mod, I realized that the zoom in camera mode does not work. And 'this normal?
Thanks!
zoom isnt working in video mode for me either.
although i cant remember if we were ever able to.....
can you add this ?
I tried now, even the stock 3.1 does not allow it. Is there any mod ?
Regards!
Nice find.
Pretty easy to increase or lower the bitrate yourself.
I personally upped the bitrate to 35MB/s for 720p.
Adjusted the 480p resolution to 720x480 @ 20Mb/s for quick and easy converts straight to dvd with no resolution changes.
Adjusted the audio bitrate to 256kbps, sample rate to 48khz and enabled stereo recording.
Sweet stuff.
edit: Tried shooting for 60fps but it forced closed as soon as I tried to select video recording

Do you mind posting your xml file... I personally like the tweaks you have done and would like the same..
Thanks in advance

35MB/s is 2.1Gb per minute - that would give you around 15 mins recording on 720p on 32gb card. Plus with the size of sensor and optics, im guessing you wont see quality increase above 3MB - 4MB/s and even that is asking alot of the camera due to the noise levels and lack of light/detail passing through the small plastic lens. As for stereo recording, I thought the Xoom only had 1 mic ?
Being that bluray movies are around 34MB/s.. I think asking a small plastic lens on the xoom to do that a little much. Also the tegra 2 is listed at only supporting 20Mb... did you also amend the codec maximum bitrate as its currently set to around 5MBs.. if not, you will actually be recording @ 5MB/s.. Also, is 35MB/s over the write limit for xoom internal storage.. I could be wrong but even a class 10 cards only write at around 10MBs and reads @ 30Mbs ?
If you want to try 60fps, you would also need to amend not just the recording values but the codec preference and possible the memCap too.. ive not tried it yet, may give it a go.
Im not trying to have a go at you, just stating that your filling your xoom up for no reason... in a long winded blurbing kind away.. not had my coffee yet..
As for the problem with front camera zooming in on 720p, nothing I can do about this, that fix would be above my head.. My guess is that the google camera apk would need amended for 16:9... my knowledge of Android goes as far as this little dirty hack.

bummer on the zoom and front face stretch problem... Gonna have to revert to stock unless fixed in the future... Will subscribe for updates in case. Nice for folks that don't mind those couple details though

Hi, just revert to version 1, it keeps the front camera stock and rear camera is improved..
As for the people not being able zoom, you can't zoom in video mode using stock... well mines never has.
I wish I knew how to port the camera front the Samsung 10.1 tab, does any one know how?
Cheers

Hey all! I have a quick question to ask everyone. I make YouTube videos using Screencast Video Recorder and I noticed after getting a new phone, the Note 2 for Sprint, that my videos are pixelated? For example when I'm recording and I am not doing anything on the screen and just explaining things, the picture quality in that part of the video is sharp and smooth looking. But when I am moving around and opening things while recording, or playing games, the video gets blocky and the quality is just ruined. I had no problems with this running on my EVO 3D running at 25fps. So if anyone can help out on how to reduce the bad quality and have a smoother video that would be greatly appreciated.
My current settings for Screencast are: High video res, FPS: 25 (which is why I don't see why the video should be blocky looking since even the EVO 3D can handle that and the benchmarks say it can record in 40fps.)
I am wondering about actual phone settings that might help me out. Since I'm running 4.1.2 I have to have Force GPU rendering on in the dev options as well as Disable hardware overlays. I was wondering if turning power saving mode on would help but only have screen power saving check since that lowers the actual screen frame rate maybe that will work?
Since I can't post links yet, search BambiTyer on YouTube. Or /BambiTyler.
*scroll down to recent uploads, the uploads of Minecraft and "Is getting an LTE device worth it?" are two videos recorded with the Note 2.*
