Hi,
I want to know whether I can record Videos in MP4 format in my DHD instead of 3GP. I feel compression in MP4 is much lessor than in 3GP and it will result in a better videos. Please let me know if there is any Mod/App to do this.
thanks...

Mp4 like 3gp is just the container. Actually the codec used for the video stream is the same as the one commonly used in mp4 files - h264. So the only benefit in recording in mp4 is compatibility, because mp4 is more widely spread across media players than 3gp. For instance my TV can play mp4 files via USB but not 3gp.

And so ?
Any one found a solution ?
I'm interrested too and I'm currently browsing the web for a solution.
It was so easy to change the video format with the HD2.
Why have they make this choise of only 3gp ?
find a converter 3gp to MP4
Anyone found a solution for this?
I would like to record in MP4 because of compatibility issues with mediaplayers. Renaming the recorded files from .3gp to .mp4 works for me, but I don't want to do this manually.

I recorded several very epic videos in 720p, they won't playback on my phone or pc! I used
Kingdom b1; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547
and this camera app; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084195
I've tried vlc, windows media player, quicktime, and on my Evo I tried astro and the stock htc gallery app.

Click the following link and if you have quicktime installed your browser will attempt to play the video.

not sure what your prob is. People running the same set up are having no probs. I did notice that the format looks like its 3gp. If it is 3gp that may be your prob and u need to either use a 3gp video playerthat can do 3gp like vlc or convert it to avi or mp4 format. The evo stock records in mp4 so maybe the camera app you are using can record in diferent formats.

Click the last link I included. The video does not playback. my question is, can I get it to work? And why isn't it working for me?

Try playing the video yourself.

Yeah tried playing it myself and does not work. Like i said b4 the video format that you have is 3gp and quicktime and most other players do not play that video format. If u want to play this with quicktime then u need to find a 3gp to mp4 video converter. I do not know why your video format is 3gp but that is your problem. Quicktime native compatible formats are AIFF, WAV, DV-DIF, MP3 and mp4, Also with addon components it can play ASF, DivX Media Format, Flash Video, Matroska, Ogg. So like i have said about three times already u need to convert the video from 3gp to mp4 or one of the native file formats quicktime supports. Here is a link to a pretty good converter http://download.cnet.com/AoA-iPod-PSP-3GP-MP4-Converter/3000-2194_4-10531870.html

My video's have always recorded in .3gp format. I can play back videos recorded in WVGA in .3gp but not 720p. Seems Kingdom b1 won't record 720p on my phone.
HW 004, if that helps.
And the video won't convert into anything else, renaming to .mp4 or .avi and so on doesn't help either.
I bought an Xperia SL recently, solely for the purpose of watching videos. Most of the videos I download have the mkv extension and are 720 - 1080p. I downloadedcl MX Player along with its codec and started the video. The video only works on software decoding and desyncs + lags like hell. I dont want to convert it, as I want to download and watch straight away.
Could you help me out? (except saying that download in some other format)
The stock movies app works for me

Try BS Player. Played everything I threw at it with HW decoding.
The stock player just shows a black screen. As does mx player on hardware decoding.
Try MX Player Free or Pro version. Make sure you use the latest one. It played every file i tried.
While playing change the decoding to HW/SW depending on your need. HW is set by default.
Search for MX player in Google Play.
stock movie app is working for me too on .mkv file.

Please use our Q&A section for all questions. See XDA rule #15
@entermetallica:
Same answer as allways.
MKV is no videoformat, it's a container that can consist of audio and video in different formats.
Download the video on a PC, use VLC to view it and then goto Extra/Codec Info.
Post what's there, esp. Mangas are known to use way out of spec coding parameters.
or...
Use VLC like a man
DicePlayer is also a good option.
mx player
try SW, HW and HW+ modes
I use the lastest version of both BSPlayer and MX Player Pro(16bit).
Both play .mkv 720p 6-channel audio movies using HW acceleration on my XPERIA LT26i. I haven't tried 1080p .mkv
BSPlayer uses it's own HW engine and defaults to HW encoding.
MX Player Pro needs to have the HW options enabled in the application settings first.
My XPERIA X10i Adreno 200 running GB 2.3.3(sony fw) uses HW encoding in 720p .mkv movies.. so I'm very sure it's got to work on an XPERIA LT26i Adreno 220 ICS 4.0.4(sony fw)
What firmware are you running???
If you've installed some sort of JB fw ... then true, you may lose HW encoding if the Adreno 220 drivers are not HW enabled in a given firmware not supplied by Sony/Qualcomm.
I use Handbrake on Win7 to encode/decode videos which have default Android and/or HD video settings.

Yup, you've hit the nail on the head. Most likely a codec that's not supported, MKV container is supported by the stock video players and most players form the Google Play market. If we could have a list of codecs that are supported by our Xperia S/SL that would maybe help clearify things.
Using H264 video codec and ACC or AC3 audio in my .mkv container and that's fine with XPERIA S and gives HW acceleration.
Is there any way to add additional codecs on to the stock video player?
If not, is there another video player that would work like the stock video player that could shrink the video player on to home screen for multitasking purposes?
The reason is that I have a lot of mkv and rmvb videos, and don't really want to go through the hassle of coding all of them.

The best one at the playstore is MX Player Pro, I think it even plays more formats than
the stock video player and it looks almost the same but it has a lot more features on options.
The MX Player Pro does have a different codec for different phones,
if I recall it automatically downloads/install the correct one.
It plays mkv, rmvb and just about any and all other formats.
I never found a video which it cannot play.
Here is the playstore link so you can check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
Its really excellent.

I've been using MX Player Pro too, just that I want to be able to really utilize Note 3's multi tasking features more. The Note 3's video player has a pop out feature when it'll shrink and continue playing on your home screen while you do other stuff. Just wondering if there's any other video player that could do that too.
WMV isn't playing in H/W mode. I purchased MXplayer and I'm having difficulty playing back WMV files. They play, but the audio and video is not in sync. The video is slowed down and I noticed that the videos only play in S/W mode. Any way to fix it? I'm currently playing back multiple types of WMV files mainly school lectures in WMV format.

Did you DL the A7+Neon codec plugin?
Also, can be supported natively, but you have to add a few lines to the media encoder xml file. You can find a guide in the N7 forum somewhere.
Is this the thread you are talking about GSLEON3?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517925
That is the thread for native. Also go to Play Store & download the MX A7+Neon codec app. It enables MX to handle more formats. Above will just allow them to be HW rendered, or played in the stock gallery app.
