Hi all,
After upgrading my HTC Desire to 2.2 Froyo I was very excited about HD video recording. Done few shots outdoor, indoor then when I played it back on my pc the video was ok but I had like cut-off on the sound. Checked on different computers with different soft and same thing on all of them. Someone said my sd card is not fast enough (samsung 4GB Class2). Gone to shop and bought 8GB Transcend Class 6. Now it's hard to say because I still have same problem Now I have less 14 quid in my pocked and still cannot use my phone to occasionally record video. I don't expect brilliant quality from it, all I need is to record and maybe upload in youtube. It is very frustrating - dialog sounds like: "Hi ...ow you ..ing? Woul.. you go for a ..."
Does anyone have similar problem?
Can somebody help me?

I've recently been noticing when I actually went ahead and utilized the video recording functions of my KS20, that it stutters horribly during recording - as in, it literally freeze-frames every few seconds of video, which makes any recordings really horrible to watch. I know on my old phone, which had the same sort of 2MP camera, I never experienced such issues.
Is there a driver patch or update I can be directed to in order to rectify my problem?
Cheers for any assistance.

try to record on internal storage
I have it set to internal, and there's plenty of space for it to use to store the video. It just keep stuttering - with plenty of ram free as well. I'm quite lost as to what's the problem exactly.
Sorry to resurrect my old post, but I'm still having the problem despite fiddling around with it insistently, to no avail.
Basically, I'm storing on the internal memory, with plenty of RAM free (original ROM as well). I record video and every 2-3secs it freeze-frames or stutters for a moment, and does not stop (recorded 5mins and it kept doing it). I really need to understand whether it is a software issue, or an issue with the firmware, or if it's hardware and i need to get it repaired. The camera takes perfectly fine photographs and i have no other problems.
Any ideas/fixes that I could be informed of would be great.
Hi all,
I have an unrooted unbranded Desire on latest firmware.
When I record a sample 30 second HD video it plays back on the computer fine.
However, when I try to playback a HD video from the gallery on the phone it stutters and plays very badly the first time. If I play it again immediately it is perfectly smooth. It's like it has cached it the second time so it plays smooth.
Can someone check this on their phone and tell me if perhaps it's just my card speed (class 2). I think it may be the card because of the fact it only stutters the first time like its trying to read/play at the same time. On second playing it's fine.
any feedback would be great. thanks alot!!!
Would anyone like to try and replicate it? just record a 30second HD video and play it back on the phone. Is it smooth on first playback or does it stutter.
I think it might be the memory card, but don't want to shell out 60euro on a class 4 unless I'm mostly sure. thanks alot
Myself and others have been experiencing much slower SD card speeds in Froyo than in Eclair. See this thread and this one. I think that your problem could be related, and if so buying a faster SD card probably won't help.
thanks Koider
Searched but couldnt find anything except SE said that the video recording issues will be fixed in 2.3.3. So can anyone confirm they were fixed (freeze,stutter, audio sync etc.) Thank you
The video stutter issue was found when I was using an old class 2 micro SD card on 2.3.2. After I have changed to use a class 10 card from Transcend, the Burroughs recording issue wad not found (before update to 2.3.3), see if I have time to test back the previous slow card on my updated 2.3.3. But anyway I suggest you get a class 10 card since the system use the SD card heavily for storing application data, this will improve the system performance, especially the gallery appear, and seems pretty much everything.

hopefully it works..
I never experienced this in 2.3.2 but maybe because i changed to 16gb class 6 right after purchase
Confirmed as fixed, I have taken multiple videos with 2.3.3 and no glitches. with 2.3.2 I did have some.
i have not recorded much before 2.3.2, but made some recordings post 2.3.3 and no issues at all.
rumnyc, bustervic,
What is the class of card you use?

I thing class of card is not important in this moment because whatever card rumnyc used on Android 2.3.2 he had problems with recorded video and after update on Android 2.3.3 he don't have any problems. For me this issue is fixed. Personaly i didn't have any problems on Android 2.3.2 with recorded video.
So far I have not encountered any problems, have recorded 3 X 10min clips and have not seen or noticed any undue pausing as I did originally before updating to 2.3.3. Iam still using original 8Gb card that was supplied in retail package.

Poor playback of recorded video ??
Rather than start another thread on poor video recording I thought I'd ask for some help here. I have read all the XDA threads I could find on the problems of video recording but still don't understand where the Arc is at on this particular problem. I do have the 2.3.3 update (flashed UK O2 .145 firmware) - everything on the phone works great for me, except this problem.
Yesterday, I tried out video recording and while I was actually doing the recording I was very impressed. I was filming in a massive indoor barn where my kids were jumping during a horse riding lesson, so lots of movement and a little bit of moving the camera around in the video.
I liked the fact that I could see on the screen that the lens picked up most of the width of the barn, so I had to do little moving left and right with the camera. I got used to where the lens is positioned so didn't have any problems putting my finger in the way.
I watched the videos back on the phone straight afterwards - looked great. I was really pleased with the whole taking a video experience.
BUT, the problem is that when I transferred the videos on to my computer and tried to watch them, they are incredibly jumpy, lots of missed frames and jerkiness - nothing like playback on the Arc. Basically, they are unwatchable. I played them back in lots of different media players - all the same.
I recorded in HD, with and without image stabilisation, everything was really quick on the phone such as starting each recording, and the film was almost immediately available to watch once the recording had ended (something that even my old digital cameras couldn't do so quickly. I am only using a Class 2 Sandisk card but I don't see that can be the problem.
Please, if anyone can suggest a fix or explain what the situation is - I didn't even know there were recording issues on the Arc until I read that they were fixed with 2.3.3 (and thats what I have on the phone).
Thanks

Look Frenchdroid,dont worry u r are is prefectly fine as far as i know
u r camera is perfectly fine
they problem lies in your computer or lappy
i thnk your computer graphic card or hardware is not capable of playing 720p(HD ready) or 1020p(full HD) videos,thats why u r experiencing this problem of dropping frames and installing media players or updating codecs wont solve this problem but upgrading your computer hardware may do the trick...........
IF my post helped you use thanks button....
Hey - thanks for your reply. You know what ? You were right. I feel like an idiot but hey, at least I'm a bit wiser now I'm not used to all of these video formats and stuff like this.
do not worry we at xda , are like a family,always ready to help each other......
most videos i record has audio and video out of sync even lowest resolution (VGA)... it mainly happens after first 1min or less... it is very annoying.. is this normal?
i am on leedroid gingerbread a2sd+
getting worse... now the video is fine for first 20sec and then it's chaotic... there's huge frameskips... image freeze... audio finishes very early.. video is like 2min without audio .. is it normal?? recording on wvga....
I have the same issues, anyone know how to fix it?
bump!
me 2. really curious to finally hear something about it. i've had this problem since day one after rooting and flashing custom roms...
If that happens even at low res, then the problem might be your SD Card.
Look up SD Card class.
I recommend a class 4 minimum.
Most ROMs have issues recording on 720p, but that might be an hardware problem.
It's just not enough and it starts skipping frames...
You should also check the main thread for your ROM to see if there are any reports of those same issues.
As a HD video recorder my Galaxy W is not fit for purpose
If I record videos longer than about 60 seconds, the audio and video start to get way out of sync. I don't think it happens gradually - the sync usually goes out after a short glitch in the video. With each glitch, the video falls further behind the audio, and it never recovers - it just gets worse and worse.
I see the problem when recording to either an external SD or the internal storage, so it's not an SD card speed issue.
The problems go away when I record in a lower resolution (480p is fine), but one of the reasons I bought the W was for its HD recording capabilities!
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me?

I didn't check this problem in Recording, but i found the similar problem in playing 720p video. After a few seconds the audio is out of sync.
I thinks its purely a software problem, and future update will resolve this.
Currently i have 2.3.6.
Thanks
Yeah, it's not just a playback problem - if I transfer the videos to my PC the same glitches and audio sync issues are still there. I think I'll try and report this to Samsung if I can bear the pain of negotiating their support website.
Sometimes I also experience this when recording 720p video to internal storage, but no problem when I record to external microsd class 10 card. I assume this because when I did benchmark the internal storage writing speed only about 5MB/sec while the external storage reaches 15-17MB/sec on writing speed. What class is your external micro sd?
As for playback sync issues, I did not experience it either...
That sux. I havn't looked it up on my phone yet, but I really need my camera for recording this weekend. So It better not be that problem on my phone.

My external card is only class 4, but I naively assumed that the internal storage would be up to the task even if my external card wasn't. Looks like that might not be the case. 5MB/s - is it really that bad? If so, that's seriously crap.
I noticed the same with internal SD
Did not yet make HD video's using external SD. Hopefully that will resolve it.
Csn galaxy fit record hd videos to about 480p somehow as its having a powerful 5mp camera...?? Plz help me .. I need to record hd videos with my fit these vacations
