How to record the screen? - Desire General

Hi,
is it possible to record the screen of the HTC Desire? I would like to make some app and game reviews, but i never heard of any app that could do that.

It will always be laggy. Just check out any other review out there... they are all recorded with an external videocam...

you can try ShootMe app.

I have ShootMe but it only takes pictures. I read a tutorial how to film the screen but its really laggy. I guess i have to wait till someone figures out how to improve that.

Shootme can take pictures every 1 sec or so and you can make a movie out of that, still that would not be that good

Come across here and hope it helps.
You can only capture your HTC Android phone screen with Android SDK. And there is no program allows you to record your phone screen as video.
If you run game on iPhone, here is a way by using VNC.

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".

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

screen video capture

I have just installled GDE Launcher and am so impressed with it I want to take a video of its rotating screens to send to my nephew (who has a iphone). I did it using the web cam but its not very effective. I can take still screen shots using various apps but is ther away to take a video of the screen???
Use a real camera, even a photocamera with recording feature would do. Alternatively you could try to Fraps something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
Thanks Zhypr

Video Screen Capture?

Is there an app that would allow for a video to be recorded of whats displayed on the screen? Or even a PC app that would do it if the phone is plugged in?
I'm looking for about 15fps if possible. MyMobiler seems to be WM only, or I read it wrong. Thanks in advance.
Never mind. Shoot Me released an update today with screencast. 10fps

[Q] Turn driving mode into a DVR

hey guys,
im curious if its out there or some one ever thought about doing something like that.
is there a way when you turn on Driving mode or hack it to activate the camera and record. just like a personal DVR that you would buy to put in your car and when you drive it records what happens in front?..
last night i though about it if something did exist?.
anyways any tips would be awsome

Well a better blackbox application would be to record gps data, and say the last 1 or 5 minutes of video. That way if you got into an accident, you'd have a record, but you wouldn't be recording 8GB of video for a long drive. Someone make that app, it could run whenever Navigation is on.
That's called a Black Vue HD camera... Look them up good product i have one

yes that would be an option of getting a REAL DVR but if you already have a mount for you phone and you have a idea about if its possible, you would want to see if its realistic.
what would be nice with a app that could turn on the camera recorder at 720P and record at 24 frames with the screen off to save energy. also i would have 40gb of space.. enough for hours of driving.
but that is a nice quality DVR that Black Vue HD camera
Auto guard from play store. It's what I Use best one I've found so far.

[Q] How do you export the slow motion video?

I've captured some slow motion video on the G3, but when I try to export it anywhere, or play it in another player it just speeds up to normal speed.
Surely this can't be right. It should save the video to be played exactly how you see it in the native player on any other device.
Does anybody know how to get it to stay as slow motion even after you've exported it, or save it as seen in slow motion?
To let you know I have done a search for this issue within xda, and it doesn't show any related threads. Has nobody experienced this issue?

Hi,
Your Video is fine. Just use a Player like VLC and reduce the playback speed.
Thats how slomo works!
Check

Thanks, I thought it would be better if it actually slowed the footage down as a saved file (like on the Xperia Z2), then at least you could post it to a shared website and show off your creation. Is there no way to do that?

Check the PlayStore - there must be an app for that Good Luck! If you find something, share it!
The HTC One (M8), Sony Z2 and iPhones have a video editor that can slow down parts of a slow motion video, while keeping the rest of it at normal speed.
Has anybody found a similar app on the Play Store?
Or even, has anybody managed to make the Sony or HTC app work on other devices like the G3?
EDIT: The Sony Z2 app is called "Timeshift Video".
Im looking for this too.
Its crazy - shows slowmo video in gallery app - but with normal speed in Photos app
What are you guys taking slow motion video of anyway bouncy boobs lol
It doesn't matter what you take a slomo video of, the point is that the phone doesn't let you save the movie in a way that can be played in other devices. Surely it should do that.
I've seen a few slomo videos on YouTube made on the LG G3, how have they done that, if you can't actually save the video as the slowmotion version?
Surely, you'd want to show off various or interesting slomo videos to friends and family, so there must be a way to do it. I've looked for an app, but surely it should be native on the phone?
e.g. on my old HTC EVO 3D, the 3d videos were stored as 3D to see on a 3D TV for example if saved on a USB. Surely if you save the SloMo video to a USB you should be able to see the video in its slow version on a TV. Is this something that LG overlooked, or is there something that we're all missing on the phone?
The recorded video file is ~120 fps:
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 119.659 fps
Minimum frame rate : 116.732 fps
Maximum frame rate : 122.783 fps
To see it in slow motion you would have to set it as 30 fps on a computer and save it again. No need to recompress it or anything (so no quality drop at all) but you need this extra step to play it back on a device where you cannot manually slow it down.

Thanks for that info, I wish thought that the phone natively did that, so there was no need for that extra step, I think LG are missing a trick there.
@Bad4ss

The most simple way I know is to use mkvtoolnix (free, open source and works on windows/linux/mac)
Open the GUI, drag or add the file you want to work on, select the video track, go to format specific options and select your desired fps. Then press "start muxing".
Screenshot - sorry, can't post direct links yet so please remove the spaces:

Thanks; upgraded from 6.2 to 7.1 and mixed away. Video worked well but audio didn't seem to work out well
When I shot something in slomo on my Galaxy S4 the resulting video was slomo in all viewing apps or when uploade to facebook or youtube. only being able to view it in slomo in the LG gallery app is dumb. As much as they advertise the G3 as a great photo device the camera app actually sucks balls. Samsungs camera app is light years better and IOSs blows them both out. It still baffles me that android has no tap exposure and lock capability....
Is there an app that will save the lg g3 recorded slow mo videos and directly share them so everyone can see the videos in slow mo?
When uploading videos in youtube you get an option to increase or decrease default video playback speed.

I use an app called Lapse it Pro to import the file then render and save it at 20fps. After rendering..I'm able to share it as a video file
