Helping to choose camcorder recording format - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering what recording format do you use out of the three. I would like to use the 720p but it seem when playing to stutter when playing back using the mp4 format?
Anyone else having this. Anyways what format do you people think is a better one to use.
And i searched but couldn't find much info about this :/

what rom are you running? That can have alot to do with it. I dont have this problem and im on a rooted stock GB

I use Mikfroyo 4.62.

ive always used 720p on mp4 and works fine to me

No stuttering? hmmmm I shall see.

Good 720 HD Sense ROM ?

Hi All
Which Sense ROM do I need to install to be able to record good 720 HD video?
Is there a Kernel that will work to make Sprint (SprintLover) 3.7 ROM record without chopping up the video?
Video quality is far more important than the frame limit that 3.7 unlocked so if I need to go back a few versions I will.
Thanks
As far as I know they are all pretty much the same as far as video recording goes. Its an evo thing not a rom thing.
I am pretty sure video was a lot better (nearly skip free) a few update (versions) ago.
I use Warm Z 2.2 and 720p recording works just fine for me. Playback shows no choppiness.

did you use a different Kernel than the one built into warm2.2?
I installed warm 2.2 and really like it and so far it is ok with video but does freeze a little. I found running task killer helps video recording with less skips.
My wife is using Netrachy 4.3.4 with SL ROM and we had a horrible experience today where it only recorded 10 seconds of sound and video and then continued to do sound but not video. Really sucks.
seems that with sufficient internal memory video can record at 720
over 150 mb free

What speed is your SD Card? I've heard of reports that the choppiness goes away on microSD cards that are Class 4 and faster, while Class 2 cards seem to experience the choppiness.
There could be tons of different things causing your choppiness, this is just one that I had heard about, so if you have a class 4 or faster card then disregard the above.
i use warm z with netarchy toast 4.3.1 just recorded and played back about 30 sec of vid today first time but was flawless

[MOD] [720p HW PLAYBACK] libOmxVdec.so (removal of h/w restrictions in playback)

best 720p solution yet.
Just want to inform all desire owners of Diceplayer.
It dosent support our phone (they say).
But it works flawless if you patch
libOmxVdec.so
wich is meant for the nexus-1.
Since N1 and desire share alot hardware i figured it might also work for our desire.
IT DID!!
This is my first thread or even post on xda.

What Rom Does it Work on?
GB/FROYO - Sense/Non-sense?
Apparently what it does is, it removes restrictions in the h/w decoding. I think the devs of cyanogenmod should look into this and integrate it into their libs.

I use it with cyanogenmod. So yes. Not sure with other roms but i suspect the libs are the same with sense roms.
The modified lib brings h/w hd functionality to other players aswell. Free alternatives like qqplayer. Probably other players also.
Someone should hint the devs of cyanogen to integrate the functionality into their roms. Devices that are capable. The Nexus-1 and desire.
Just tested it on Rcmix 2.0 sense rom still lags
So basically it will work on GingerVillain 2.7, too? Well, I'll try and see.
Playback yes iirc, but isn't 720p recording Sense only feature?

You must use a player that uses hardware rendering. Default setting in many players are software rendering. Change to hardware rendering (in player).
it worked, but messed up the weather vids on cool sensation though.
hi to all,
just tried the patch and i would dare to correct the OP, well at least in my situation, 720p video playback didnt become without lag, however, now its less laggy. im using GB rom, Rcmix 2.0 with CM7r2 partition table, and class 10 16GB micro sd card (reading writing 11mb/s, reading 22 mb/s). so it has nothing to do with the card, however, as i said there much less lag now but videos are still not as smooth as i used to have on 2.2 based ROMS. but if htc release proper GB rom then maybe developers will be able to do something about it

You should write, which rom/kernel you are using. Otherwise your information is very senseless.

Well. I am using cyanogen kernel and nightly rom. I have a class 10 sd card (sd-booster 2048).
I am having good results with 720 mkv video (diceplayer and qqplayer).
it works..!
took quite awhile for me to get SDK adb working.. but now it works so smooth!!
either on dice player or native player!
kudos for TS
PS: im also on CM7 rom and kernel, S2E a2sd, and stock 2GB SD card
work on leedroidhd?!
Would it work on Insertcoin stock GB rom?

no idea of other roms aside from CM7, but i suggest to do nandroid backup, and then follow instruction inside the link from 1st post..
@OP - Are you part of dev team for this? I ask because you seem very keen to get this integrated into CM and you seem to have a lot of technical info.
BTW, I tried it on CM7.1RC1 and find lag. The "News & Tips" page you linked to does actually state though that 720p does lag at present until possibly the next update.

If you manage to load the lib correctly (works in cm7, thats all i know) you should feel big difference from regular software encoding players like rockplayer etc.
Shure. there are some lags. But as i stated before. noting in comparison to software enc. based players. Very large 720 mkv may lag. But a typical 4gig 720p mkv plays well.
No. Im not in the dev team. I just been searching for a solution to play hi def mkv video. And this is by far the best solution.
What i do is every time i reflash my rom (cm nightly) i replaces the lib from first post with the one included in cm7 .zip file. /system/lib/libomxvdec.so
For testing this you must make sure diceplayer or any other player, is set to hardware encoding. Otherwise no improvement in playback.

[Q] Laggy 720p Video playback in all gingrbread roms

Hello,
Guys I have an strange problem regarding 720p vedio playback (Not recording) with all the gingerbread roms with 2.1 sense. I have tried almost all the dev's rom like RCMIX,Reflex, Insertcoin so on and so fourth. But in every gingerbread rom 720p video's are laggy. When i was in froyo all the 720p movies played smoothly. I am using a class 6 micro SD card with fat32 and EXT4 partition. Plz guys help me to solve the problem becuse for one specific problem I cant use gingerbread roms.
That is a problem with all the GB ROMs... until the DEVs have a GB RUU from HTC. Maybee...
So if U use that feature a lot, dont go GB... (yet)
thanks jakedude for such a quick reply But I thought 720p video recording is a problem for gingerbread roms not playing any movie or song of 720p. And not only 720p but also 480p is also laggy. I dont know why it is occuring. I have done everything including overclock and underclocking but all of this went in vein. Someone please help
Missed u meant playing. Yes, recording is laggy, dont know about playing.
Usually The Q is about recording, so I jumped the gun. Sorry
thanks dude for helping But one thing I don't understand does Dev's know about this problem ?? Because they are saying they are designing stable rom's. But if there is problem regarding laggy video playback how can it be stable And I cant even be sure whether its a problem of my sdcard or anything else!! Hey Jake ..have u been facing problem regarding playing high resolution video(720p) on ur desire using RCMixS v2.0.1. Because same problem belongs to this rom also.plz help me out..

[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!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions 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

Choppy video playback on Sense roms.

I was hoping someone could help me with resolving choppy video playback on sense roms on my EVO. Every time I take a video and try to play it the video playback is choppy. I have changed read write speeds of the SD, tried using different media players, different CPU speeds, amongst other things and nothing seems to fix it. I do not notice a problem with aosp roms with choppy playback. I just freshly installed nitrious Rom 1.3.7, stock kernel and still have the issue. Any advice? It's would be great if someone could help me fix this.
Sent from my Modded Evo... It's easier this way.
it's probably just a bad connection
if that doesn't fix your problem, try a different rom
