2.2 and video recording crash in 720p mpeg-4

I've tried 3 different 2.2 ROMS now on clean wipes and each one causes the video recorder to crash and reboot the phone within 3-4 seconds of using it.
I've tried ahmgskMod_Froyo, LeeDroid_v1.8 and now another less modded 2.2 ROM which the name escapes me right now... but the point is the video recorder function causes a crash then reboot on every 2.2 ROM I've tried.

I've also noted that the video recorder also crashes in any other format or resolution combination.
Any ideas?

update your radio.

+1 Upgrade radio, but if you had read any of the release post's or bothered to use the search you would have seen that and not put another pointless non development post in the development forum.

i have the same headache.

*facepalm*
I'm having a constant headache too. Why can people not use the search. argh!

Just have to format your SD card to fat32 without ext3. You loose ap2sd+ but all is ok for me

Standard roms or aosp roms (hd roms have problems with 720p, although it works now, it's still slow) with oc'ed camera chips.

What you really should be looking for is a Class 6+ SD card!!!

With my stock froyo ROM i didn't have any troubles with 720p recording
Now im with RCmixHD 2.0 A2SD and I have freezes and lags with 720p recording.
Do you think change of my 4GB SD card ( which comes with desire ) with a 8GB Class 6 , would speed up and fix this 720p freezes and lags ?

CyanogenMod 7 and 7 (I think 6) works. There are a few other roms that work properly. And to be honest, it's not really down to your SD Card class for 720p recording. I have a class 2 card and never had any problems with it when the recording has been fine. It's down to the dev of the rom.

i've a class 10 card. i've tried hd roms, leedroid roms, now rcmix rom. but always having problem with 720p recording. with some of them, videos are only 9fps, and with others there are lags and etc. what should i do

cyanogenmod 7 does not even include 720p recording nor playback...
thought it was the speed of the sd card that causes lag in 720p recording... was planing to get a class 6 micro sd because i tried reflex gingersense and 720p was messy.. i thought it was my current class 2 card which was too slow... does not depend on class?

Im having the same problem.
What gives?
A lot of roms say "720p recording" but i cannot find a sense rom (at least froyo) that has working 720p (no lag, no out of sync, etc).
Can anyone help ?
What rom does have 720p recording working ?

So it seems that starburst classic has 720p working but it really is an unstable build.
i get fc a lot , flash is not working, market did not work last time i flashed, etc.
a lot of problems.
Did u find any other roms that have 720p working ?

I have RCMixHD v2.0 installed.
I have a class 2 16GB sd card.
The lag is no-where near the stock 2.2 rom, so It's the rom for sure!
Maybe wait for v2.1?
I looked at the bit-rate once, and it was about 1MB/s on a stock 2.2 rom, so a class 2 SD card, which can transfer a minimum of 2MB/s, should be able to do the job, right?

i have asked on numerous threads and noone ever answered! does the class of the sdcard makes difference? will a class 6 card have flawless 720p recording?? i would like someone with a class 6 card to answer plz

Ive just installed reflex s 2.1.2 lite a2sd+ and it seems 720p recording actually works very well.
I DO have class 6 16gb card.
So i guess someone with lower class card can try this rom and see if the 720p recording works, and if not, than its clear the card class is a factor.
Ps: i've reformated and repartitioned my card before flashing first ledroid 2.5.0 and then reflex s.

finally a reply! thx! but 720p recording does not work well with the class 6 card on leedroid? i have a class 2 card ans 720p recording lags a lot on leedroid froyo.

i formated the card and first installed ledroid 2.5.0 that i thought is stable and fast and has 720p (because of froyo) . but as it turns out it doesnt work ..

720p recording on leedroid froyo lags even with your class 6 card? i am disappointed... was going to buy a class 6 card and use leedroid froyo as i find it to be the fastest, most stable rom around with great battery life.
what reflex rom are you using? is it gingersense? (android 2.3)

reflex s 2.1.2 lite a2sd+ (gingersense)
android 2.3.3

With Reflex S my 720P recordings appear pretty stretched.

mine works fine.
maybe u have a lot of stuff on ur card, or maybe its slower (lower class).

when it comes to ROM it only matters if it does, or does not support 720p - check camera settings...
higher class sd card will help a bit, but wont make it great...
fact is desires camera isnt really made to work flawlessly with 720p, no matter which card or rom you have, fps will rapidly drop in low light conditions. its really a hardware limitation.
i would suggest using 480p always...

[Q] Choppy HD Video recording

Hey - on any build I've used on my G2 the video playback on PC / Phone has been choppy for HD video I've recorded. Right now I'm rocking CM 7 Nightly #25, and it's still choppy. CM 6.1 was choppy, stock rooted was choppy and the stock ROM was choppy. Now, I've replaced the phone once already. Anyone having this issue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I filmed some skate video on the phone b4 and after root, the video didnt chop. Now it does. I was no cm7 and didnt flash with cmw 3.0. Got fcs a lot and flashed it correctly. Then thats when I got lag. Anyway I dont know but I did have kind of the same issue.

It's wild, it'll lock up for like 2 seconds - and the sound will keep going.

I also have the same problem, I believe it is because of the class of the SD card, try a class 4 or higher??

I had this issue too, many people do. I bought a class 4, 6 then 10! and they all produce the same effect!. I went and put the class 4 card in a Kodak Playsport & it's flawless... it's a hardware limitation of the phone I think with the speed it can throw the video on the SD cards I think!

I have a class 6 8GB SDCard

I have a class 10 uSD card - stock ROM - and it's choppy recording for me.

Interesting find indeed! I'll have to review the settings when I have a moment, and will probably give it a shot. Of course make a nandroid backup FIRST and even make a backup of that /system/etc/media_profiles.xml file, and then play around with it.
FWIW I've experienced this issue with every ROM I've had on this phone (stock, CM based, HTC Sense based, etc). I've just learned to deal with it, but maybe I won't need to anymore.

Video recording HD

I've tried video recording on HD (720p) but when I saw the video I was disappointed because of the lag. It's because I need a microSD HC (high speed) to work it properly?

What rom you using?

Stock one without ROOT. Maybe it's because I need a class 4 microSD...

Stock rom should be fine. Last time I used stock rom which was a fair few month ago (it was the latest release) it was working fine. I have a class 2 card but maybe for you it is different and you do need to upgrade your SD card. Could be hit and miss though.

[Q] Video recording problem - video/audio out of sync

Hi all,
Have been using the Desire for nearly 2 years, great phone. I use the phone's Camera (Baby Photos & Videos recording) more then anything else. Enjoyed using the 720p recording when I was on Android 2.2 until the Stock 2.3 upgrade few months back. Then I found the video recording went funny, lagging, video/audio out of sync, couldn't handle 720p anymore etc.
Got very annoyed for too long so decided to root it at the weekend and try other ROMs. Tried a few and settled on the Aurora V03 which has a great camera app (w/Sense 3.0). Thought the out of sync issue went away but unfortunately it's still there. Even when I lowered the quality to 800x480, the problem still exist.
Tried the SD Card Increase from the market and tweaked it to 2048kb, same.
Thought it's software/rom related as I could record 720p no issue when I was still on 2.2
I am using Kingston Class 4 8GB card since day one. Do you know any tweak that can help me please?
Any idea is much appreciated! Don't really want to upgrade my phone just because of this.
Thanks!

Moving to Q&A

By what ive read on the forums on here this is a common problem for 2.3 on the desire. Im unsure on how exactly to solve it though. Have you tried changing the file format it records in? That helped for me

Yes I have tried both 3gpp and mp4 and they are the same. Strange that I didn't see much discussion about this. Thinking to downgrade back to 2.2..... Although don't quite wanted to.

Have you tried a faster sd card? I had similar problems when I used the class 4 that came with the phone. Now I have a class 10 playback is fine, even with full length movies and tv shows.

he is not talking about playback ,but about 720p recording...
unfortunately, there is no solution yet for that issue,no matter what ROM u try it'll still be there. 800x480 should be ok, if u're having problems, format and align ur fat32 and make sure that it's not an issue of the ROM u're using. as for 720p, as i mentioned earlier, no joy
