Just a query, now we have the camera libraries, is it possible that they could be edited to reduce the compression in video recording? Could the bitrate be upped to give better video?

With libralies you cant do NOTHING.
It just to make easy for devs to port it in their rom.

Ah ok. In that case, is there anything possible to improve bitrate?

How do you mean?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium
One of the main issues with the video recording on the arc etc is it records in low bitrate. If we can increase the bitrate we can improve the video.

Try igCamera or igCameraPro - you can set the video quality - i use 8 mbit (1280x720) on Arc S
Just had a look, I got the free one, limited to 640*480, but the paid version doesn't show in the market. Might be because of the rom I'm using
Ill try another rom and have a look, thanks!
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
Yeah, the pay version is called igCameraPro - had to search for it manually.
But I'm not sure if 1280x720 requires Arc S hardware. Not sure the Free version has limitation in that regard.
Found it. Got 1280*720 30fps at 20Mb working fine! Have to drop the sound quality for it to work though. Setting sound to stereo causes the framerate to go crazy.

Cool. Stereo shouldn't matter since Arc/S doesn't have stereo mic anyway.

The Arc has the capabilities to record in stereo.

Quality is usually adjusted on the fly but being a phone that in portrait only has 480 lines of resolution I wouldn't expect it to offer streaming 720P plus anyways. Watching on Wifi or good 4G should come up great but bad connections and 3g it will come out overly compressed.
Resolution is one issue and bitrate is another. The bitrate is adjusted based on connection speed to prevent buffering.

Using tubemate I can notice the difference between 480 all the way to 1080 easily and even on he fastest wifi there's no difference between the settings in android app
A big difference in ps3 app tho
I wish ps3 and android Alps had very own settings for quality like hulu plus apps do

Agreed. I think that netflix looks great on our screen considering the size. Definitely have to stream over wifi, sprint just isn't fast enough otherwise. Perhaps going over 3g is leading to poor display quality
I was recording a live band and every now and then there's a slight "scritch" sound.

ahhh, I guess there are limitations to this device. their music was a bit loud anyway. I did several recordings and the audio seemed fine albeit not crystal clear as it's only a smartphone.
Ive noticed similar problems with all of the galaxy s/note phones ive owned. Its improved alot from the galaxy s1 though where to much high or low noise would sound distorted. I noticed that using a pair of headphones with the built in mic helped me a bit on older phones but I have yet to try it on my note 2. Maybe if there was a audio tweaking mod like voodoo that we could try?
Just like on the pc with VLC, you could improve the visual quality either changing contrast/saturation/sharpening the video. Since there is that program on the phone, is there a mod that could improve the quality of videos on the S3.
I've been hearing something along the lines of a "Bravia Engine" but I don't know about that. So what can I do to improve or sharpen my videos?
I assuming there isn't, it would be nice to get that video a bit more sharp. When I say video I mean video played on a video player, not recording videos.
I use Mx player pro and love it.

Bravia Engine is a rendering tweak that is normally on Sony phones but can be included on most others. It increases the color quality of the picture and sharpness. Its a small improvement but it's an improvement nonetheless.

Hi... Just bought xperia Ion (no LTE) and one of the main reason I selected it is for the camera resolution.... but with big surprise I'm just noticing that pictures are very bad... lot of noise!
Additionally the camera focus is extremely slow!.... Did anyone experience the same?... I'm on last official firmware. Maybe some mod is available.....
Any help is really appreciated....

Believe me....I had Xperia Arc and photos were much better...I also have Nokia N8 and pictures are just amazing! I like Xperia ION, but unless my camera has hw issues, the photos are simply very low level ones!...What is really disappointing me (along with the Jpeg noise) is the extremely slow focus during camera recording as well...also not available the touch focus!.....Anyway I m going to try the mod you suggested.....
Just quick updating: I installed the camera mod and did some tests. In outdoor light condition autofocus is very quick and pictures are great! Indoor light condition (morning not night), camera focus seems slightly more responsive if physical picture button is used, but autofocus becomes very slow and 30% of the pictures are out of focus. I will continue in playing with setting but I have doubt I could get good behavior in indoor condition!...Anyway, reading in the network, the very slow focus problem is well known issue! (((

This should be software problem
Sony is not good at modifying CameraUI:silly:
Sad but true, my ion cant take pictures as good as my n8. Auto modes dont help much either. I noticed that while taking a few videos on low light using yhe different modes, camera just wont focus when zooming in. I had to tweak some settings( set focus to infinite) to get the image to focus correctly( running xzxperience by the way). Tweaking the settings manually definitelt improves results though. I expected a bit more from sony? Guess I wont be selling my N8 any time soon.

The camera sucks when u take photos from places there are Yellow light, warm light for example in your house. this photos lose quality, but if u use the video cam from those places, u will notice lot of noise..
I have that problem , my cam works 100% in places there are lightday for example in the street, if u take a photo there, the pic will have a nice quality and if u use the videocam u wont see noise.
I think that this problem is software.. i have xperia ion ics version 6.1.c.1.111, but when i had the version 6.1.c.1.105 the camera worked much better

Wait for KingBeatZ to release their sound mod for the new Nexus 7 if they will. On the old Nexus 7 it made a significant improvement to the speaker volume.

When you look at a graphic eq you will see all of the toggles, they correspond to a frequency, from low to high (left to right). By moving a control anywhere higher than 0 you are effectively making that frequency louder. So by dragging the controls on the right you are boosting the high frequency sounds ( speach/singing/cymballs) and by dragging the ones farther to the left you are adjusting bass and mid levels. Just play with it, just be aware that by boosting the gain too high you could end up making your music/movies sound distorted. Have fun!
And a tip, put on a style of music that you listen to the most while you make changes so that you can hear the difference that your changes make.

I don't really use poweramp but I think there is a volume override is settings---audio---advanced...Try that, poweramp has its own engine that you have to disable.

Well in doing a little search through the forums it looks as if the developer has set poweramp to not work with 3rd party dsp. You may just have to find a different player that you like that supports dsp. They have a forum with the answers to your questions I am sure. Sounds like your up and running though.
