Video Screen Capture? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

How to record the screen?

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.

CM video playback

I'm not sure if its just my device it was working before, but everytime I video record something and playit back it looks weird. Is thhere anyway I could fix it?

I've noticed the same on CM7: after I record something with the camcorder, sometimes (not all the time) the picture is garbled so that 99% of the picture is white/black/blue lines on the stock player. It only does it when the screen is in portrait. If I turn the phone to landscape, the video plays fine.
Also, playing the videos play correctly on RockPlayer. RockPlayer forces to landscape for playback, so that might have something to do with it. Also, if I try to view the video on my desktop PC, it plays fine. Seems like more an issue with the player playing those particular videos in portrait.
This is how it plays with all videos in portrait mode, but seems to be just fine if you view them in landscape mode. The majority of my screen would be blue with the super-thin white/black lines, but against it's primarily all blue in color. I don't think there's any way to fix it, to my knowledge any way.
Same deal here. I am on CM7 RC2 with 2.6.32.32 kernel. If I shoot a video in landscape I can only playback the video holding my device in landscape. And vice versa for portrait. Half of the video is blocked by a blue screen. Does this sound familiar to anyone.

Yes it does!

This still seems to be broken in the latest CM nightlies. Wonder why it's not working. It's also happening in CM7-based ROMs (i.e. GingerVillain 1.5).

CM7.1 10212011 Nightly problems

Posted here because I dont have enough posts to post in the Cyanogenmod thread.
I recently updated to the latest nightly (10212011). I did this after seeing that 10202011 had some issues when using the video camera.
So this weekend I made a short video thinking all would be good but when I played it back via 'Gallery' the portrait video footage played sideways in landscape mode. Turning the phone to landscape gave me a stretched portrait video, which isnt really ideal in a perfect world. I can play the video in QQPlayer in its correct orientation but the video seems to jump, repeat parts and also goes out of sync.
I have searched to see if this has occured but I have not seen this issue before, so I wanted to flag it up to the devs.
Additionally I have another problem which again after searching I have not found a solution to.
I have the Kindle app installed and it all works great, I can read my book etc but after leaving the app the phone freezes and my only way out is to remove the battery. Has anyone else come across this? is there a solution?
Thanks for any help

Mine does that too, unless I hold the phone sideways when recording. Lately getting it to record at all is my issue, but have posted that elsewhere

Youtube HAS got a HQ option, it is already in HD
Settings -> About Phone -> System Update
But, I wouldn't really use stock, without rooting ^^ You NEED these Xtra options ^^
Oh so youtube HQ is 720p HD? I did not know that....

In a way... But, what I ment was; That the phone itself, is running in a HD resolution, (720*1135) and Youtube is basically forced, to provide HD...
Or better, it chooses, which is best, for your current bandwidth

Not to jack his thread, but does that mean that you can't see 480p and lower videos or am I just misinterpreting what you are saying?

You can, but you won't notice, because of the HD screen... It basically runs in HD, all the time...
To explain it better:
You have (as an example) a Windows-PC. You open Youtube. Click on a video, let's say, that your reolution is aboout 1440 by 720...
You put the video full-screen. It runs in HD, because of your screen resolution, even if the file is running at a lower resolution. When you click HD, it just multiplies the amount of logical pixels, in a physical pixel, causing the effect of sharper corners, brighter pictures, etc...
And the app, basically just renders the video, to do the same thing, as on a PC... It only renders the picture, at a doubled rate. And when the bandwidth is high (1000kb/s or higher) it doesn't need to render, because Youtube automatically sends the video in HD...
The HD option appears on wifi. When on cellular data this changes to HQ quality, not quite as good. HD on wifi is the best quality by far.
anyway to make it HD on data as well? I have seen other phones where they have modified youtube app that lets them watch HD on data 3g

I think maybe on a custom rom, but I haven't searched specifically. It definitely would be painful over cellular unless you have Verizon lte. The HD versions really are high quality and huge data.

You have to enable HD in the settings of the app...it doesn't play HD by default...and it will play in HD no matter what data you have 2g, 3g, 4g or wifi...but obviously if you are watching a video in HD on 2g its gonna take forever to load

Just found this out today while watching Youtube videos on Data connection.
- If you open HD video in landscape mode on the GNex, it will go into HQ mode
- If you open HD video in portrait mode to start, then when the video is loading in portrait mode, change the orientation to landscape, it will go into HD mode (and quality is much much better than HQ mode, I would say real HD quality)
I tested this on 4.0.4 GNex GSM with the same youtube video on data connection. After this test, I realized HQ is no where close to HD quality.
Hope this helps =)

Video quality

When I take a video that is shot in full HD and uploaded to Google drive, it looks blurry and terrible. On my phone it looks great. Nice a clear. Why is this happening?

I'm curious about this too. Uploaded a short video (Full HD quailty) to fb recently and the playback looks blurry (and on my Samsung tablet too). Weird thing is, playback seemed okay when watching it on my wife's iPad.
Only thing I can venture to say is that maybe Internet connection has something to do with it? Where I am now we only have satellite Internet and it's terrible. How is your connection?
Also, maybe try lowering the quality of the video and see if the playback resolution (when viewed from Google Drive) is any better?

I think Facebook reduces photo/video quality when you upload.
