is it possible by a setting or an app for the evo to record video other then 3gp?
Bump, I wanna know too
Very curious also. Cause it says its an mp4 under camera settings.

You can't do it with the stock recorder.
Not sure if there is another recorder out there that will record differently.
The highres encoding type is MPEG4, which saves videos as .3gp.
There is a lot of discussions about the old mpeg4 format and if they used a newer compression the video recording would be just as good as the iphone 4's 720p video recording.
search a little and you will find a lot of info on this topic!
lol......i did search and i found squat thats why i posted this. do you have any links? or is the answer just "no" or "no app as of yet".
the 720p video on the evo looks like crap. i have a 9 year old 3.2 megapix camera that takes better looking video

Hi
Had a search and couldn't find an answer so here I go.
I believe that the desire records at 15 fps which leads to choppy recordings vs my iPhone 3gs. I was wondering, is there a hack to increase the fps beyond what it currently sits at?
Thanks

Yes, Froyo. Should add 720p recording at min 20 FPS.
Does the eventual update also add better sound quality to video recordings?
I say AMR 8000khz codec is worse then my now defunct N73....

+1 I'd rather see a steady 30fps + great audio quality 480p video, than crappy 720p.
Is there a hack to get 30 fps now?!

I really don't see why HTC chose to only encode audio with the AMR-codec at such low quality... Is the microphone of such poor quality that they "hide" it using this codec?
Anyone tried recording sound using some another software?

Try the built in Voice Recorder?
It's the same crappy quality...

Then using "other software" will only serve to mask it, if anything.

What would your guys recommend for playing .avi videos on the Desire? There are so many to choose from. Act 1 is good? It's not free

The beta RockPlayer is the best AVI player we currently have. However, which AVI it plays depends on that vids properties (like format).
Check the themes and apps section under titles like 'DivX/XviD player'.
Act 1 is excellent for many other vids, like H.264.

I can't link or search threads through the phone app but this has been discussed extensively before. You can record much higher quality audio using other apps. Mainly those saving in MP3, PCM, MP4 and WAV. I'm not sure how they do it though.
For simple, quick, voice recording I use Virtual Recorder the most.

i absolutely agree with you....i want a super smooth recording and playback at the 480p size and not more...if the quality of this is good then you can upscale it with conversion...but if it's crappy high resolution then even if you downgrade it it won't be very smooth
You can already see what the unofficial, hacked HD recording is like, i.e. http://db.tt/0Ngrnd

As has been discussed a few times priorly, the current vid recording FPS have been observed to fluctuate between ~3-28 based on the ambient light levels, level of motion in the footage and the speed of the cam movement. The current recording can be much improved over but these factors contribute to some hard fundamental limitations.

Hey
Was wondering it if it possible to edit the original camcorder app to record in a different format something like .mp4 with better audio?
Reason I ask, is when I've used 3rd part voice recorder app's the sound is better, so it must be possible to get good sound.
If the above isn't possible would it be at all possible to write a new camcorder app that records in the .mp4 format with higher audio quality?
This would be a huge app, so i'm not expecting anything, but just wondered if it is at all possible.
I'm not a developer so I don't know.
Thanks for any info, hoe this is the right section, figured is developer stuff more then app based.

I've been hearing around the forums about a codec fix in build.prop, you might want to do a search for that, could possibly be what your looking for.

1 reply in 100 views, prob means not many people care tho hehe.
Hopefully I'll get some more replies soon giving some info
Bump, anyone?

I would like to see an mp4 format. Tho I am not a dev. Just someone who knows enough to probably break it. Lol

I'm interested in this as well. My usage scenario is to record video with the camcorder and use twonkyserver to stream it directly from my phone to my LG TV, which supports mp4 and mkv containers, but not 3gp.
it is probably possivle, but i dont have a clue wjere to start.

Seriously every single video I record comes out with artifacts and choppy/freezing. What in the world is happening. I can't be the only one? Fix for this!!? So disappointing, sigh
Try on CM6. HTC sucks at coding.
They set a low bit rate in the video with high compression. CM has normal ones, plus they're working on better audio.

Damn out of all the times I've flashed CM6 I've never tried the HD recording! This might be the definite deal breaker for me for Sense Roms.
Yeah. It looks really nice on CM6. >_<
I had the same issue with 2.1 and 2.2. I noticed that when I played the video for a second time it would play smooth (maybe it got cached). I just changed the SD card to a Ridata class 6 and now videos always play OK.

Yeah but it also plays back choppy on my computer when I transfer the file over or if I upload it to YouTube or anywhere else. I am going to try CM6 now and see what kind of results I get.
I'll admit I haven't tried 720P recording on CM6 in a few weeks but under RC1 the issue I was having was that the video and audio would lose sync...I took a recording of my dog barking at my cat and the video of the bark was showing before the bark sound. I guess I should try it on the nightly I'm running now and see how it is.
do not record in mpeg4 try H.264 that worked for me

It seems like Iphone or Ipod has run over the android platform in this area. Can it really be that theres no video recording app for android, like the iphone's 8mm app, Vintage video app and so on ?
Jess Pedersen
I'm unfamiliar with those iPhone/iPod apps, but what do you mean "video recording app"? What exactly do you want from this app?
I use the default camera to record in 720p all the time
sorry i might not expressed my self clear enough When I record video its plain video. I mean an app that applies filters to the video like Vignette does on photos.
There is an app called "videocam illusion" that can add filters and effects

hahahaha...just because the camera has the option to record to 1080p doesn't mean it actually records in 1080p buddy!
I'm not sure if you guys have been around long enough to remember this or not BUT when Sense 3.0/3.5 was first ported over it had an option to record in 1080p but it didn't record, it would FC.....the reason it shows that option is because the dev most likely used a camera.apk from a device that has the REAL ability to record in 1080p....hints the reason you THINK that it records in 1080p
If the EVO can record in 1080p, this will be new to me!
Lol I never even used it so I just assumed. Does make sense. I can count on one hand how many times I've recorded a video
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
haha lol so does 720p really work or thats fake to
No thats probably real since the evo CAN record in 720p (at least in sense 1.0 roms, not sure about ported roms)
