I seem to have a problem.
I can't seem to record video's in mp4 format, meaning the camera does record video but the extension is always .3gp and never .mp4
So to make it clear,
- I have selected mpeg4 in the settings (it does improve the quality, and records in 640x480 on mytouch 3g slide rom, and 720x480 on salsa rom, but its extension is 3gp and it won't play in PC)
- I have formatted my memory card, multiple times, from android and from PC, in both FAT and FAT32 format
- Tried on multiple roms, stock, cm7, and salsa and also updated from RUU
I dont understand the problem, why doesnt it record in mp4?? when I select 3gp format in the setting, then it records in 3gp and the video plays in PC, but not the mp4 format
and also I do have the latest K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.. and I remember it used to record in mp4, i dont understand.
ANY FEEDBACK WILL BE APPRECIATED!
VLC media player will play them perfectly on PC.

CM7 Camera setting?!
Not in there, guy. Only settings there are for zoom, video quality, white balance, color settings, and effects. There is nothing that says, shows, or allows changing the file extension. I'm on cm7 nightly 203.

And what about Salsa Slide Rom? it records video in 720x480 resolution. It has got to be in mp4. But it still isn't!
So, none of the roms, records video in mp4 extention?? Is it just the internal codec, that is in either mpeg4 or 3gp(H263) ?!
Thanks for the feedback!

use lgcamera.it can record with mp4 package and it has more great extra funtions

Anyone know what is the best setting for smooth video playback when viewing in Touch Pro 2?
I have download the Transformers 2 Trailer in FLV format and playback on my Touch Pro 2 but it seems to be laggy.
Anyone can advise me whether it is the video format problem or the phone memory problem as I have installed many applications.

Can only get on youtube through my Rhodium at work but isn't that video HD?
It's got a pretty fast processor for a phone but it's still only 533MHz, it can't playback HD content!
I've seen a couple of DivX movies (700MB each) on my TP2 and I have no lag issues...
In fact, I did had that, but back then I was using the player supplied with DivX codecs for Windows Mobile. Once I started using Core Player, the "lag" was gone.
I'll try that YouTube HD video in FLV format and get back to you.
BTW, what player are you using?
Yea i have no issues at all with any video format with coreplayer with the exception of mkvs.

I am also using Core Player for playing back the above FLV format file.
Sorry for the delay guys, but during my video speed testing , I found that although Core Player is supposed to play MP4 files (so they say), on my TP2 Core Player says "Player: Video codec (AVC aka H.264) not supported by the player!". So it seems that I have no H.264 codecs installed, which is strange because the H.264 codec is quite common on DivX. Well, I guess the movies I've been playing were not H.264 encoded.
This happened because I downloaded (without converting) both Transformers 2 trailers (LowRes and HD) from that link. The LowRes version came in FLV format (4MB), and the HD is a 33MB MP4 file. The FLV plays flawlessly without hiccups or delays.
I'm still searching for H.264 codecs for Windows Mobile, and will report back to this topic after installing and testing the video.
The HTC player will playback mp4's encoded with H.264, so long as they're Standard Definition with stereo audio.

I have download the same file again by copying the Videoplayback file in FLV Format from Internet Explorer Temporary Files Folder, file size is 12.2MB instead of 4MB.
How you can get 4MB and how you download the Low Res file? The playback is a bit jerky and not so smooth but after comparing the original one in YouTube, it is also a bit jerky and not smooth so there is nothing wrong with the Touch Pro 2 Playback as the problem lies on the source itself.
What you wanna do is get Coreplayer.
Encode your videos into Divx with vertical res. of 720 or under and keep the bitrate under 1500kb/s.
Great image quality with approx 112% playback speed.

I have used Coreplayer for playback.
Tried encoding "The Black Knight" Movie in the below format :
1) Width x Height (704 x 296)
2) Bit Rate (64kbs)
3) Audio Format (Lame MP3)
4) Frame Rate (23 frames/second)
5) Data Rate (1031 kbs)
6) video Sample Size (24 bit)
7) Video Compression (XVID)
There is some portion of the playback jerky and not smooth, any problem with the above settings?

You could try downloading that little encoding program.
It encodes your files into the perfect format for HTC Album. The user interface of the program is very easy and it encodes your files so that they play with full resolution and a good bitrate. Hope I could have been of help. All credit goes to it's creator.

I used a Firefox addon that "strips" the contents out of the pages (videos, sounds, SWF, ...). It can also be used to convert to other video formats while downloading, but I didn't use this feature as I wanted to test with the real deal.
I double-checked just now, and the smaller file (LowRes) is 4.76MB and it's fully functional and it plays 'till the end. The HD is 33,9MB. Perhaps there's a different file version when you stream directly from the internet... it doesn't make much sense, but I'm just guessing.
I didn't had time to continue searching for the right codecs yet. But I'll give it a go tomorrow. I'm sure I was not the 1st to experience this "issue" and the codecs "should" exist somewhere... so I hope.

Thanks for your recommendation and I recode the video again, it is much smoother playing over the WMP.
Will use this program to encode future DVD or Video for playback in my Touch Pro 2.
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.
This is the closest I've been so far (Replacing HTCCamera with Google Camera):

What app are you using? I'm pretty sure media players like RockPlayer and VPlayer play mp4's just fine (don't have any on my phone right now to check though).
MP4 is a container format, so different MP4s might have been encoded in different ways (e.g. frame rate, frame size) by different encoders.
It's a lot more complicated than something like MP3.
So just because one MP4 won't work doesn't mean that a different MP4 may not work either.

Good point. Though almost all MP4s use the H.264 or H.263 codec (with some of the older ones still using MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 streams, but even those will more commonly use an avi container or mpg). All of these are supported by RockPlayer (and I think VPlayer), though there may be stuttering issues if the frame size is too large or bitrate is too high.
For the OP, what exactly did you mean by playing the mp4 file did not work?
I tried playing a movie that is a mp4 file. It says not supported

What app are you using for playback though? The built-in one? That one has very limited support for video file types (I think H.264, H.263, and MPEG-4 SP). I think MP4's have to use the H.264 codec. If you want to play other types of files, you will need to download another app that has this support.

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.

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.
Hello All,
My HTC One X seems to only record video in the 3gp or MP4 file format. This posses problems when I try and stream them to my
TV via DLNA, in other words they don't work
Can anyone tell me how to change the format my HTC One X records in or suggest another camcorder program that lets me record in a different file format or any other way to streaming my videos without having to convert them first?
Thanks for any and all your helps

Unfortunately MP4 is the default and only supported video format. What problems are you having with DLNA and MP4?

Isn't DLNA just streaming to a display, and as long as your HoX can play it the video will be shown? I didn't know the rendering happens on the TV side @[email protected]
Unfortunately it does. Although if you use windows media server to stream it, the rendering happens on the computer, if I'm not wrong. Though don't think that works with the phone.
