[Q] 1080p Video Recording? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I know this ships with 720P, but is it possible for a software mod to bring it up to a full 1080p since theres an 8 MP Camera? Im only half thinking this idea, but had no idea if its possible or not. Thoughts?

Droid incredible getting 720p recording - Will desire follow?

What do you think, is HTC going to give us some of that HD recording goodness? If they don't sure enough someone here is going to figure a way to port it
2.2 will bring HD
Froyo HD lol
720 should be implimented, it will definately boost sales with a feature like that in a camera phone

we already know the desire is capible of 720p video recording, once we get our new radio with froyo is shud be pretty simple
I saw the news in http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/droid-incredible-ota-update-said-to-be-bringing-mobile-hotspot/ and really got exited that there is a good chance that we gonna see 720p video recording on our desires.
btw I saw a difference between Desire's and Incredible's camera - the later has a 8 megapixels camera. I know this won't stop htc to put hd video recording in desire, but it is a reason not to. Let's hope not.
HD is useless unless FPS can stay at 25+ ALL THE TIME regardless of light conditions.
Audio quality should be vastly improved, ditch the 2005-ish AMR-codec...
Bitrate for video should at least be doubled to get rid of blocking...
the 5 Mgb camera is 720P capable ...
When a Device doesn't record @ 720 it's because of it's CPU , and since the snapdragon is capable of that , then WE would get it via update...
( as the nexus one did )

Devs have already got 720p video recording working one the nexus one with froyo and we have exactly the same camera as them
720p is just a number, I'd prefer 480p with higher quality...
Hd videos from nexus one doesn't look so stunning, the camera sensor just sucks... and I think it's the same as on our Desire.

for starters 420p dosent qualify as hi def and 2nd its more than just a number it denotes the amount of pixels 720p = 1280x720 witch is obviously a much higher quality/resolution than 420p (704x480) so wtf lol

let me try and put it a bit different,
me, and the op, would rather have GOOD SD quality than crappy HD, people tend to asume that HD is all about the resolution, it's not, it's a lot more about bit rate.
say you have [email protected] and [email protected], witch one is going to look better? 480p, why? cos you are using 8mbit to store less pixel so less compression, to call something HD in my book you need 1080/720p, and at least 12 mbit for 720p, and 18 Mbit for 1080p
Hm idont quiet agree with you.
HD IS (not ALL!) about resolution. Thats why today everything with HD sells. People see HD, and think its great. But as you said its more about the image quality itself.
But its not a very fair comparison between 480 and 720p you made. SUre 480 looks better, but on a smaller screen (with native res.) but if you have a bigger screen, 480p has to bee scaled up, or stretched and then it looks maybe identical or even worse to the 720p Video.
Not to say that i would appreciate the innovation that the Desire gets 720p recording at a very usable bitrate :/
I hope you get my point, since im german and caged in foreign language

exactly and 480p is a lower res than the native res on our device lol

Agreed. I'm also concerned about the amount of FPS we could get .. anything below 20-25 and HD is useless me thinks ..
[email protected]@10mbit would be fine by me if h.264 was used, but h264 on the fly is a bit too much for snapdragon, so h.263 and a bit rate of say 12 mbit would be ok... but then you would need a very good sd card... about scaling you will almost never get 1:1 pixel mapping... tv's tend to have 1368x768 or 1920x1080, pc monitors are also over 720p.
its not a video recorded it's a phone, and if it gets a half decent support for video we should be happy but i don't expect anything from that,
i like big sensors, a 5 mpx dslr is 10 times better than a 15 mpx point and shoot camera, why? sensor size. phones are just too small to be good

Froyo - 720p video recording comparing to iPhone 4

Just about an hour ago, I have upgraded my HTC Desire to Froyo 2.2. So I have quickly done a 720p video recording, and compare to iPhone 4.
The result (data taken from QuickTime player):
Movie FPS: HTC Desire (16.37), iPhone 4 (29.54)
Data Rate: HTC Desire (7.42 mbits/sec), iPhone 4 (10.44 mbits/sec)
Yupe. I tested 720p and it is not good.
I don't have iPhone 4, so I cannot compare.
I hope the 480p of HTC Desire is getting better. I prefer 480p if I can get good fps.
Can you test 480p with your tool above?
What about this clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLmvRSxgtd8
Running at 30 fps

The 480p now supports H.264. It looked super smooth from what I did a quick test of.
The 480p seems much better using MPEG4 than H264, in H264 there is more tearing during fast motion and some artifacts.
What a shame. Had high hopes for HTC's 720p implementation
And the same s***e audio too...
Surely the desire has the hardware to support 720p at almost 30fps.
Who does HTC's code for christ sake!

If I record inside with low light my FPS is 12.
Filming outside through a window made it 22FPS.
I am not surprised by the low quality of the camcorder. I kinda expected that. As opposed to doinbox, I don't think the camera of the Desire is capable of 30fps in such high resolutions (especially when I know what it is capable of in lower resolutions). Well, maybe if there are sufficient lightning conditions... Don't know It's already dusk here so I can't test it outside.

But seriously that isnt acceptable. If, lets say, when the desire was first released it was advertised as supporting 720p video recording and you went out and bought it only to find it had poor framerates you would think it was broke. You wouldnt buy a tv that said it could support 1080p video but only at 22fps its ridiculous really. The Desire probably with alot of time and effort could record 1080p at 30fps. But it seems they don't want to spend the time in achieving this.
Which really annoys me!

The Hardware in the desire is much more powerful than what you would find in a 5 megapixel digital camera that can record 1080p video at 30fps.
http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/hddv-pocket-camcorder-digital-video-camera-1080p/
Check this link its a pocket HD camcorder. Im sure it has terrible hardware inside yet it can record 1080p at 30fps. So what would make you think the desire can't do it.

We had to wait till Android 2.2 for us to get 720p. Perhaps it's not the hardware, but the software that is the limitation.

That's what I'm saying the hardware does support it but HTC are just not putting the hours into coding for us to get 30+fps.
could a higher class microSD Card possibly make any difference? I'm a bit disappointed myself especially when the picture quality itself is brilliant for a mobile device
I doubt that the FPS problem is CPU related. It's more likely an I/O bottleneck in the camera hardware or driver.
Couldn't it be optics quality related? It is a tiny lens after all, and if we get 22fps in sunlight but 16fps indoors, then surely that implies issues caused by the camera needing a slow shutter speed to cope with low light. I think it's fixed aperture so all it has to work with is shutter speed (and therefore fps) and sensitivity...
@NixC
That could well be the case. However, the amount by which frame rates seem to vary between ROMs and codecs suggests that there might still room for improvement beneath the limiting factor of the optics.

Note 2 cam actualy rec at 120FPS?? doubt it.

our version of the slow motion camera seems like junk.. i thought i read that the actual note 2 ups the fps for slowmo.. it seems that our version just slows down the og video at 30fps...
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet.. but is it even possible for our hardware to record 120 fps? if so why not have it record at that all the time to increase quality?

Does the LG G3 have 'stabilized' 4K video recording?

1) I was curious if the LG G3 has "stabilized" 4K video recording?
2) Was also curious if the LG G3 has quicker focusing for video recording..........not for stills but for video recording, at all resolutions.
Thanks
1) yes because the ois it is not software based but hardware based
2) you mean if it has manual focus on video? the answer is yes if you mean that...if you mean if it has the same focus speed as the stills , i think is a little bit slower but fast enough.
:·﴿
It's got OIS.
Digital Image Stabilization costs too much Processing Power but it's got OPTICAL Image Stabilisation - for ALL Camera Modes ﴾Also 720P@120FPS﴿
So the answer is: Yes

thanks for the replies. actually was wondering about general focus 'speed' of G3 when shooting video..........as opposed to say the LG G2, which has notoriously slow focusing when shooting video.
anyone have definitive specs on the stabilization?
There appears to be some misinformation on the LG G3 and it's purported stabilization when recording 4k video
From most accounts on the web and video comparsions, the G3 apparently has either no image stabilization when recording 4k video.............or at best some sub-par digital-based IS.
It may have photo-based OIS, but not 4k video based. I'm not even sure 1080P is OIS.

960 fps and 4k 60 fps?

Just saw a video posted by "pocketnow" on LG G7 camera review. At 4:57 mark, he said there were new addition(960 fps slow mo, 4k 60fps) from OTA updates since his original phone review 2 months ago. Is it true cuz i cant find it on web.
Video link- Hmm, seems i need 10 posts. Better PM me if u cant find on YT, or just search on YT and you'll have it.
Saw the video and yeah I can confirm that the phone can shoot 4k at 60 fps with the new OTA update but I just tried recording a slow motion video and it's just at 240 fps and I can't seem to find the 960 fps option.
You mean the video of Jaime Rivera? He doesn't know what he is talking about, the g7 doesn't have 960fps at 720p, just tested and it's 240fps.
I don't even have the 4k 60fps option.
Sent from my LGE LM-G710 using XDA Labs

That's because your phone is not on the last Ota update
The reason that the phone can't shoot in 960fps is because there's no dedicated chip for it. For example Samsung uses dedicated fast storage chip to store the footage of the video and then transfer it to the main storage. LG doesn't have that chip plus the sensor only officially supports 240fps 720p but I noticed that it also supports 1080p 240fps .
Why we don't have that option is a mystery.

Damn, so not even a software update can turn it on? That's sad.
Anyone else think that [email protected] is disappointing.. Lots of jello and inaccurate focusing. [email protected] send a more consistent option, tried to upload to you tube with 60 and it looked awful!

Personally I prefer 4k 60fps. From what I recorded it seems stable and I have no problems with it.
Edit: here's a link of what the camera module is capable of: https://www.google.bg/url?sa=t&sour...FjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw3vRFp9OMzb9J76fPbULXws
