CM video playback - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

Hi,
Anyone use this app as main camera?
I am trying it but sometimes i get force closes and to take a photo it takes to long.
What do you think about this app?
Erm and why would u like to use it cam?? :S
I really like it. No FC at all, on both photo and video side (tested on CM7 and MIUI). Ok, it's not the best graphically, but it has a lot of options.
The only problem i do have is that vertical photos show up rotated left
I'm using it with no problems on 2.3.5 xxki3, great app, as you can turn off the stupid autofocus while video recording!
It's the only unofficial camera app I've found that supports 1080p video recording smoothly. AND it lets you set the audio bitrate in-app!

[Q] Insertcoin 1.1.2/1.13 camcorder bug

when i record in portrait mode and the play the video it plays back in landscape mode stretched out and distorted, however using another video player or viewing on my laptop its fine. If i record in landscape mode its fine. If i play back my old 720p video recorded using the official 2.2 rom they play back perfectly.
Is there anyway i can fix this. Does anyone have the camera apk from the desire 2.2 or 2.3?

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

[Q] Youtube playback grainy/pixelated after flashing IncrediblyParanoid?

Hey guys,
Forgive my ignorance, as I have searched high and low for any information on this, but I was running TazzSense 3.6 for quite a while with no major issues other than some lag that may have been more due to the apps I had installed, and on that ROM the video playback, including youtube in HQ, was clear and great. I tend to watch a lot of youtube videos. Yesterday, because I wanted to try it out, I flashed the latest Incredibly Paranoid after doing the super duper wipe and everything seems to be working great and I love the interface.
However videos on youtube seem pixelated and grainy even on HQ, compared to the old ROM. This seems to be isolated to Youtube or perhaps flash videos because other videos seem to be fine, but playing youtube videos through the app or a browser looks a bit off. I tried turning HQ off (looks worse obviously) and back on again. I also tried messing with all the combinations of Paranoid settings, which changed the look of the UI but not the video playback. I seem to notice a few rows of black pixels to the top and bottom of the video; it's my understanding that these videos are 480p in HQ, so in my mind should fill the screen, could something be scaling vertically slightly and causing the degradation in quality? Are there any other things I could check on? Any input greatly appreciated; if this belongs somewhere else please forgive me.
Yeah that's a bug in older job kernel. Wait for either new cm10.1 or pa jb4.2 or flash evervolv with new 3.0 kernel.

[Q] Video taken with stock camera (last version) saved an upside down video

Well, I have read stuff about the Nexus 5x saving upside down images/vids with 3rd party apps that didn't use API correctly, but today I saved a video, which looks OK on the device, but when I send it to the PC.. it is upside down.
Is this common? it has any fix? can I fix the vid somehow?
If this happens to the stock camera... what the **** Google..
I've read somewhere that it's normal, the sensor it's upside-down so it puts a flags for apps to turn it around.. the problem is that I tested any program on Windows (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC, WMP, etc..) and ALL of them show the video upside-down...

Hmm, I downloaded the last version from hpc hc yesterday and it was still upside down. What is that madvr render stuff? Some sort of plugin? This is interesting because if this works im keeping the n5x, if not im returning it (because I want the video reproduced well on pc)
Thanks!
No special settings. Just set madVR as default renderer and launch video by double-click. At least it working in my rig with external GPU. Here is also the feature request in mpc hc trac: https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2202.
How has google/LG not come up with a better fix for this? Two of my apps that use the camera (Stampt and Chase Mobile Banking) show the video upside down. It is extremely annoying. I realize that the app *should* be updated to the latest API, but if you make upside down hardware YOU should be the one to fix it, not force everyone else to conform.

Works! Thanks a lot!!!! Too bad madVR lags some the video reproduction (specially when returning from full screen) , I don't know why I have to move to such thing just for this device. I hope MPC-HC adopts it soon!!

Google. They didn't even use the API how they say on most of their apps. Google is the enemy of nexus lately.
Another option in MPC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) besides MadVR is to rotate the video while playing. Use the following the shortcuts (alt + numpad 3) twice to rotate to 180 degrees as shown in my attached image.
I know it's a pain but this is a workaround for now at least. Along with MadVR.
