[Q] Slowmotion camera recorder - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nowadays everyone seems worryed about the frame rate on the 720p videos and that just seems a bit silly, knowing that the lens of the desi will never render a good video, so, i was just thinking about slowmo recordings, the LG Secret of my sister has this thing and it is a lot fun.
I dont know if this as something to do with the camera CCD or the processor or etc, so i just bring this on to see if somebody clarifies me

Search on market
BTW the only app what you'll find isn't the best app cuz lack of automated shooting :S

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.

TP2 and Video Recording....

Hi,
Now I know the TP2 is not a digicam ... But can anyone share any tips on how to get the best out of the TP2 for video recording.
Some thoughts I have include:
1) Fast SD card
2) 3rd party video software???
3) Improving fps from 12.5. I guess reducing resolution..??
However I appreciate the TP2 is a phone .... but with some jolly useful extras.
Thanks,
Sam
i havent try but maybe apps like coolcamera?
Hi guys
A quick one. When recording with the touch pro 2 is there a black border to the right side of the picture you are recording? that means the picture you are recording doesnt fill the screen. I just noticed this tonite and i dont think this has always been the case
since I posted my question over 30 people have read it but have just moved along without helping. This isnt a difficult question and all someone has to do is pick up their phone, launch the camera and click on video recording to see if the black border exists. This should not even take you a minute but people just read and move on. If I start a new thread asking my specific question, you,ll get some id1ots talking rubbish about using the search function. well I have and it doesnt return any results for my query. So is there any sensible person out there willing to check this out for me?

Hi Lombardo8,
Yes, there is black strip on the right side of the screen but ONLY when you save video. When you play this video it is over full screen.
Sorry for my "English".
Regards,
Nino
Thank you very much Nino. Have a nice day
12.5 fps? Probably for videos meant as video messages (eg vzw flix mms). But with Mp4 I had 15-20 fps even in 640x480. Best advice. use MP4 video. Stay away from H.264 because that is CPU heavy and results in blocky looking video. Black border on the right side? It only means you are not recording in widescreen mode and does not show up in playback. Select the widescreen option in advanced options and border is gone. Not sure if this will work on video, but it does on pics.
I'm not all too thrilled with CoolCamera. First, it's buggy as hell. Second, it's not free. And third, it doesn't work on all devices. I tried it on my Q9M about a year ago. Hasn't been updated since then. Since the Q9m has a crappy camera, I wanted more options. Unfortunately this program didn't help, as the options didn't work on that phone. The camera on my TP2, different story. Very advanced compared to the Q's crappy setup. Don't even want to try CoolCamera on this thinking it might be worse off than factory HtcCamera. There have to be better options then that program (CoolCam). The developer of that app has focused on his webcam app instead.
How did you get your camera to record at 640x480 my Tilt2 doesnt seem to have that option

Pausing while recording video - Can we get this feature to work on the SGSII

My wife has a Samsung Infuse and I recently discovered that it has a pause button on the screen while recording video. She can record and then pause, and then continue the same recording instead of having to make multiple recordings. It's very cool. How come my Galaxy S2 can't do this(or can it)? Is there a camera apk out there that has this feature and will work with the Epic Touch?
I guess I'm the only one who thinks this is a cool feature huh.... Anyone???
That feature to be intergrated would take abit of work. Not alot.abit. usually there's no point in a feature like that since its the same as throwing them together ina timeline. (Video editing) not even camcorders have this feature far as I remember.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
there is a program in the market called LGcamera which has this feature plus many other features, search for it in the market

I had to play with the settings to get it to work. It has to be on 800x480 resolution, started at 1920x1080 - think. I can't remember if anything else was wrong. You are right kenlperry, the pause function would be a great addition to a mod. LGcamera or LGcamcorder is nice also, thanks to agrenwa! Paid version cost $1.95 which is actually worth the function if you want to make some cool movies. Ban-chewa-bow-bow!

You know, the original Epic 4G could do that as well. I had one and asked the dev, Myn, if he would or could do it for me at the time as well - make it work for an EVO...? Nobody seemed interested at all... I love that feature! I even have an LG Lotus clamshell that shoots and pauses and shoots... What's up with that..? LOL!
Thanks guys. Yep, I'm using the lgcamera app now too. Like someone else said, the higher resolution settings don't work though, but 800x480 will do when necessary. I like this feature alot, particularly when I'm recording my kids. It would be an awesome feature to have built into the Epic Touch. I wonder why the Infuse has it and the original Epic had it but the Epic Touch does not? Hmmmmm!

[Q] how to export slow mo video? instagram, social media. etc etc

Hello xda!
Just picked up an lg g3. Shot some slow mo video, but cant seem to get it to upload in slow mo. The quality is also jaggedy on my end.
Did a quick google search and couldn't find anything. The only way to get slow mo to play is in the default gallery app.
I know with samsung and apple they have default editors, but it seems like lg dropped the ball on this one... Unless im missing something? I would like to avoid having to upload to a third party video editor.
Thanks for any advice!

slowmo video is normal video that is recorded at a higher frame rate and then slowed down you can't upload it because most sites have max frame rate count or they just play it in normal speed. the quality is because some apps use data compression to not overload there servers unfortunately that breaks quality

HTC 10 Camera Video Recording and mkv.

Any way to change the .mkv recording to .mpg4 when shooting video with stock camera app? This is a PIA when trying to use Videos you've shot with other apps. I'd just roll with the Google Camera but there's no silent option that I've found.
You should disable " High res audio" to record in with a normal extention.

You sir are a legend!!! Have you done any comparative testing by chance with the High Res on vs Off?
I just tested this and the High Res Audio isn't a gimmick. The **** is fire. If a person was shooting something that would edit later they want this. If a person was shooting clips or something for social media or something else they could pass and it is still great.

He<y There, is there any chance to post somewhere a mkv recorded with the 10 in some loud clubs or something?
I am really trying to find out if it is better, or close even to the 4mics of the 950xl Lumia (distortion free audio recording)
Can you please go to a club and record some music ?

The only club I occupy is the gym lol but here is an album I uploaded with myself in the woods. There are multiple videos all recorded with High Res Audio. https://plus.google.com/+BrandonBuhler/posts/f5g3ndNXZve It picks up crazy detail in the ambient sounds. In some of the water shots I am quite a ways away but it's still awesome. I tested outside earlier and the main differences is that the back ground audio is clearer and more detailed. If I get out today in a crowded area I'll grab a few samples as comparison. I know it won't be the same as a loud club but it's probably the best I can do. :good:
This guy pretty much literally shoves the phone into the speaker grill, watch from 01:40

Probably in the default.acc never checked for it but I do know other 4k video camera apps have unlimited time.

it seems that if you go back to 1080P you won't have this limitation, only with 4k ...Well I can live with this...
