I can't send Video MMS...too big - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there a way to make Handcent compress the video? If I take a video I like the ability to take good quality, but when I do the videos are too large to be sent via MMS. Is there any way to fix this?

[Q] How to Send Uncompressed Video via MMS

I try to send video clips that I make which are about 400 to 500kb via
text mms message and the phone compresses it to about 50 to 70kb which on the
other side look like crap, even I sent some to myself just to see the sent videos
are degraded in quality because of the compression.
How to send uncompressed video is my question.
Hendcent is doing it same thing compressing it and chomp can't even attach
400kb video telling me is too big. Please anyone help on this issue.

Compress recorded videos to send as a message?

On my old iphone, HD videos recorded with the phone would be automatically compressed to be sent via text message.
On my Note 2 I can't seem to send ANY videos with the messaging app. I always get a size warning when attaching a video.
Does anyone know of a way to compress videos to send over mms? I do not want to record the videos in a lower quality resolution as this ruins the video for myself.
Does nobody send videos over mms?!
Maybe handcent or gosms would do this.

Try Vidcon from the play store. It's sort of like Handbrake for android, but much easier to use. Vidcon not only allows you to compress a previously recorded Hd vid but you can also change the format, among other things.
I also didn't want to record low quality vids on the chance that I might at some future point want to send it as mms. It is not free but the demo allows full functionally for 4 to 5 days. So you can see if it meets your needs. Hope this helps, and welcome to the android club.. ..

I think for now I will upload my videos to YouTube and send links to friends and family. Honestly it is a bummer to see that auto compression of mms videos isn't on my Note II.

Grainy Video

So recently I've noticed that when my wife and I exchange video messages via stock, chomp, handsent, or gosms messengers, no matter what the mms configuration is. They alway show up grainy and in one occasion with handsent as a GIF.
So I'v noticed that when I choose to shoot video from within gosms the video settings in the video app are set to mms mode making the video resolution the lowest it can possibly be, so no matter what I set gosms to the initial video is still very low res.
My question is.
Is there a mod or a way to change this so that the video can be taken at a higher resolution.
assuming there are no problems with the phones and you are just annoyed at the lower quality of videos sent between phones, then you are probably stuck. Video takes up a lot of memory and bandwidth. You are better off uploading a better quality video to youtube and then sending her the private link to view it on her phone. There are other cloud options/websites as well for videos
It will still hog the data though.
Perhaps somebody else can chime in with a better solution

No theres nothing wrong with the phone. Its annoying because the video is unwatchable, you can't even make out faces.
the worst part is my iphone 4 did a better job. so far though thats the only thing the iphone was better at.
Im not worried about the bandwidth, I'm on the rogers 6gb promotional plan.
currently the best way i can come up with to share a video is with dropbox. specially considering they just rewarded me with an extra 50gb of storage for free.
heres a pick of the cam app when im taking a video for mms. Im not looking for 720p or anything but a step up from this would make a world of difference.
thats 176x144

It would be nice if I could just edit a file somewhere that would set the mms video size to at least double what it is now.

Sending videos through MMS.

I don't understand why HTC can't incorporate video compression to send videos through their messaging app, without having to change the recording format to MMS. I thought the new messages app was based off of Google Messenger which lets you send any quality of video, iOS has had this for years. What does everyone use for sending videos over MMS?
