Xperia PLAY have got 1Ghz CPU, and 5mpx Camera. This hardwares enough to the recorded of HD vido? Or not?
Is the solution of this possible?
(Sorry my bad Englis)
Should be!
One of Sony's recent updates gave you the 720p camera. if your on a custom rom i bet you can find the apk somewhere.
This was one of the early updates. Though it does not specifie it's recording in HD but really it records at 720P when the best quality is chosen in the options. However I personally think that the latest Cyanogenmod 7 video recording was remarkable. Best quality ever seen so far.

What? Really? It's pretty crap if you ask me. It records at 800x480 and the video usually has constant moments of extreme stutter.
What do you like about it? Is there any way to get 720p on CM7?

Yes latest CM7 shoots as 720p on default mate. Best quality so far witnessed!

Are you sure? I've been using the latest CM7 FXP builds every time they're released and I've even tried some CM7 nightlies from the CyanogenMod site.
None of them, including FXP123, do 720p recording. Perhaps you're mistaken? Or have I missed something?
Yes I'm fairly certein. I vivdly remember I was shocked by the performance of the video camera. Flash the latets CM7 and start filming with the highest values in the settings. Then see the video on your computer. Even if he screen size is not 720x900 the video quality most definitly is HD

Hi
Had a search and couldn't find an answer so here I go.
I believe that the desire records at 15 fps which leads to choppy recordings vs my iPhone 3gs. I was wondering, is there a hack to increase the fps beyond what it currently sits at?
Thanks

Yes, Froyo. Should add 720p recording at min 20 FPS.
Does the eventual update also add better sound quality to video recordings?
I say AMR 8000khz codec is worse then my now defunct N73....

+1 I'd rather see a steady 30fps + great audio quality 480p video, than crappy 720p.
Is there a hack to get 30 fps now?!

I really don't see why HTC chose to only encode audio with the AMR-codec at such low quality... Is the microphone of such poor quality that they "hide" it using this codec?
Anyone tried recording sound using some another software?

What would your guys recommend for playing .avi videos on the Desire? There are so many to choose from. Act 1 is good? It's not free

The beta RockPlayer is the best AVI player we currently have. However, which AVI it plays depends on that vids properties (like format).
Check the themes and apps section under titles like 'DivX/XviD player'.
Act 1 is excellent for many other vids, like H.264.

I can't link or search threads through the phone app but this has been discussed extensively before. You can record much higher quality audio using other apps. Mainly those saving in MP3, PCM, MP4 and WAV. I'm not sure how they do it though.
For simple, quick, voice recording I use Virtual Recorder the most.

i absolutely agree with you....i want a super smooth recording and playback at the 480p size and not more...if the quality of this is good then you can upscale it with conversion...but if it's crappy high resolution then even if you downgrade it it won't be very smooth
You can already see what the unofficial, hacked HD recording is like, i.e. http://db.tt/0Ngrnd

As has been discussed a few times priorly, the current vid recording FPS have been observed to fluctuate between ~3-28 based on the ambient light levels, level of motion in the footage and the speed of the cam movement. The current recording can be much improved over but these factors contribute to some hard fundamental limitations.

Seriously every single video I record comes out with artifacts and choppy/freezing. What in the world is happening. I can't be the only one? Fix for this!!? So disappointing, sigh
Try on CM6. HTC sucks at coding.
They set a low bit rate in the video with high compression. CM has normal ones, plus they're working on better audio.

Damn out of all the times I've flashed CM6 I've never tried the HD recording! This might be the definite deal breaker for me for Sense Roms.
Yeah. It looks really nice on CM6. >_<
I had the same issue with 2.1 and 2.2. I noticed that when I played the video for a second time it would play smooth (maybe it got cached). I just changed the SD card to a Ridata class 6 and now videos always play OK.

Yeah but it also plays back choppy on my computer when I transfer the file over or if I upload it to YouTube or anywhere else. I am going to try CM6 now and see what kind of results I get.
I'll admit I haven't tried 720P recording on CM6 in a few weeks but under RC1 the issue I was having was that the video and audio would lose sync...I took a recording of my dog barking at my cat and the video of the bark was showing before the bark sound. I guess I should try it on the nightly I'm running now and see how it is.

i saw that xplay will get hd, 720dpi video recording on 2.3.4 update... i just updated via pc companion but how the heck i'm supposed to switch to 720dpi?
I can only choose between high and low resolution, and neither of those looks like it's 720dpi...

It is, just check with Windows Explorer
It's definitely there - high quality option.
Think I'll make a video of it in action sometime soon.
all right, just checked a random video from the pc and it's 720dpi. All right i'm an idiot
But still i'd say it's pretty unclear. With stock sony ericsson camera (or heck i remember with some x10 custom roms having stock android camera recording too) you can select various pixel quality of the video, here with the play is just "high, low" quality but it doesn'e explicitly say what kind of quality is it.

In my opinion it's not even true 720p.
It's exactlyt the same resolution as it was before, but simply upscaled and output to a 720 resolution.
Making it a larger file for exact same quality.

Yeah, The Quality is the same as before, And you can render as 720p in Camtasia Studio or After Effects, etc, Wish SE loved us as much as they love Arc customers.
I find the HTC Droid Incredible Camcorder app decent to record on, and wouldn't mind it HAD IT BEEN they didn't make the audio recording horrible.
It records at a 8Khz AMR format........any solution or alternative to this?
I've tried lgCamera, but it freezes / skips / lags to much and causes the audio to desync.

Did you try Videocam Illusions? That will let you set the audio much higher, though you will lose some video quality as compared to the stock camcorder.

...and for 720p on the dinc, you're gonna need an app that uses hardware encoding, in other words, something that uses the stock camcorder.

lgCamera has 720p, it just skips a little bit and that desyncs audio. Any ported APPs or something I could use from like a different phone or something?
I'd love to have panorama and HDR, I tried a ROM last month that had the options (I think it was a sense ROM) but they didn't work well and it force-closed sometimes, etc.
I've also found that some of the newer android version ROMs seem to lack either H.264 or 720p video.
Front-facing camera is nice to have, but even the ROMs with that seem to suck for Skype.
Help!
You can download both of them from the play store... I have both and they work great..

how jerky is it? (i dont just mean playback on the phone itself, i mean no matter what device you play it back on. in other words, when i use AOSP cameras at 720p, there is jerkiness baked into the output. stutter, judder, jerkiness, dropped frames, insufficient fps, call it what you want, motion portrayal is poor especially during slow pans.)

hmm, yeah i guess it is a little jerky.
Well thanks for the link in your sig, got that ROM running now and it seems like a keeper
Well, ok, if you're serious about all this, I will add that changing your scheduler to BFQ is probably the single best improvement you can make to videocam recording smoothness. You'll need a kernel that supports this. Almost any custom kernel will. If you're going to use the ROM in my sig (the Captain's 5.07 stock ROM) I would recommend the "Underworld" kernel. If you're running a AOSP ROM , I'm not as familiar with those choices (although I would recommend Reloaded anyway, and the "Mason" kernel included with it supports BFQ already, even if it isn't optimal for general, non-videocam performance). Note you'll have to do additional research on how to *activate* the BFQ scheduler even once you have a kernel that supports it. Or maybe you knew all this. But others may be interested. Happy searching..
used hdr camera + with cm7.2 (nightlies) and worked pretty fantastic. Def considered it better quality than stock camera and here is my disclaimer im not a photo buff... lol
In my opinion the Sense Rom Cameras look better. I've probably ran just about every rom on the OG EVO and that is what I have noticed.
