I usually record videos using my Galaxy Nexus in 720p mode, because 1080p takes up a huge space and my internet is too slow for it..
When I play back the videos that I recorded, it looks so beautiful on the galaxy nexus. But when its on youtube (directly uploaded from the phone), my god! The quality is crap!
Here is the video
http://youtu.be/588xh372ZvU?hd=1 (Uploaded Directly from the YouTube app via WiFi)
http://youtu.be/RbgYReOEoO4?hd=1 (Uploaded from a computer to YouTube.com)
I have done absolutely NO edits or compressions on these videos, and they still looks pixelated! I think even my old HTC HD2 480p camera is better than this..
What can I do (except for going into 1080p mode) to make my video quality better?
Looks fine to me.
Try to stop zooming in and don't make many sudden movements as those cause it to have to focus again.
Also, it is always possible that YouTube is just decreasing the quality so...ya.

It looks so pixelated to me.. But on my other device that records 720p, it records way lot better than this..
There is way too much movement on both videos. I don't any camera phone could do better under those circumstances.
As a test, take another video without so much movement on the camera end and see if your quality improves.
Good luck.

That does not look like 720p to me, movement or not. Strange??? Take on in 1080p and upload it so we can see how it looks.
use the mod in my signature, re-shoot, upload and report back
by default 720p records at ~6mbps which for fast motion material can turn out blocky
download "media-profiles-final-holmes6.zip", flash in CWM, reboot

I have noticed when I am in the video recorder and switch to 1920x1080 resolution I notice the video zooms in to around 2x and says "zooming is not allowed in full HD" when I try to zoom out. This causes the recorded video to look like crap and noticeably lower quality than the 720p videos I record, especially on a pc..
Does anyone know why this is, if anyone else is having the same problem and if there is any way to fix it?
I can confirm I see the same thing.

Same here!
I got some good results with my videos, but only when i wasn't trying to shoot something up close.
I am really disappointed 1080p was one of the big things I was looking forward to with the GS2 and now I find that it's a lower quality video than the 720p... Hopefully someone has a fix or this is an issue Samsung is working on.
Hey,
Just got this phone and have a few questions.
- Youtube app does not have HD option? Why?
- I have 4.0.1 how to upgrade to latest official firmware?
Thanks.

Youtube HAS got a HQ option, it is already in HD
Settings -> About Phone -> System Update
But, I wouldn't really use stock, without rooting ^^ You NEED these Xtra options ^^
Oh so youtube HQ is 720p HD? I did not know that....

In a way... But, what I ment was; That the phone itself, is running in a HD resolution, (720*1135) and Youtube is basically forced, to provide HD...
Or better, it chooses, which is best, for your current bandwidth

Not to jack his thread, but does that mean that you can't see 480p and lower videos or am I just misinterpreting what you are saying?

You can, but you won't notice, because of the HD screen... It basically runs in HD, all the time...
To explain it better:
You have (as an example) a Windows-PC. You open Youtube. Click on a video, let's say, that your reolution is aboout 1440 by 720...
You put the video full-screen. It runs in HD, because of your screen resolution, even if the file is running at a lower resolution. When you click HD, it just multiplies the amount of logical pixels, in a physical pixel, causing the effect of sharper corners, brighter pictures, etc...
And the app, basically just renders the video, to do the same thing, as on a PC... It only renders the picture, at a doubled rate. And when the bandwidth is high (1000kb/s or higher) it doesn't need to render, because Youtube automatically sends the video in HD...
The HD option appears on wifi. When on cellular data this changes to HQ quality, not quite as good. HD on wifi is the best quality by far.
anyway to make it HD on data as well? I have seen other phones where they have modified youtube app that lets them watch HD on data 3g

I think maybe on a custom rom, but I haven't searched specifically. It definitely would be painful over cellular unless you have Verizon lte. The HD versions really are high quality and huge data.

You have to enable HD in the settings of the app...it doesn't play HD by default...and it will play in HD no matter what data you have 2g, 3g, 4g or wifi...but obviously if you are watching a video in HD on 2g its gonna take forever to load

Just found this out today while watching Youtube videos on Data connection.
- If you open HD video in landscape mode on the GNex, it will go into HQ mode
- If you open HD video in portrait mode to start, then when the video is loading in portrait mode, change the orientation to landscape, it will go into HD mode (and quality is much much better than HQ mode, I would say real HD quality)
I tested this on 4.0.4 GNex GSM with the same youtube video on data connection. After this test, I realized HQ is no where close to HD quality.
Hope this helps =)
My SGH-M919 is really odd when it comes to recording videos.
Pictures are okay, but video quality is a bit terrible.
When I record a video, it takes a while for it to begin recording...normal, I've seen this happen on other Android devices.
As I'm recording, the video looks okay, no choppiness, yet.
When the recording stops and the playback starts.. the video looks pixelated.
The only time the video looks high quality is when the camera is still.. as soon as the camera moves.. it becomes pixelated.. but, then as the camera is settled.. it forms back into a high quality video.. move it again.. pixelated.
I have the video settings set on 'Standard,' as opposed to 'Low' on Snapchat, but that does not help.
Does anyone know what's going on? Should I enable/disable anything in the developer options? I've noticed this on Snapchats received by other Android users in my contact list, but iOS 4.x.x+ devices are all clear.
Any help/troubleshoot is appreciated!
If y'all need a video, lemme know and I'll try to send one.
Same here, iOS users are always clear, Android is the same as your issue and the same with me.. I would like to have this fixed as well!!

That's what I had thought lol, I hope snapchat improves in quality for Android devices

When I take a video that is shot in full HD and uploaded to Google drive, it looks blurry and terrible. On my phone it looks great. Nice a clear. Why is this happening?

I'm curious about this too. Uploaded a short video (Full HD quailty) to fb recently and the playback looks blurry (and on my Samsung tablet too). Weird thing is, playback seemed okay when watching it on my wife's iPad.
Only thing I can venture to say is that maybe Internet connection has something to do with it? Where I am now we only have satellite Internet and it's terrible. How is your connection?
Also, maybe try lowering the quality of the video and see if the playback resolution (when viewed from Google Drive) is any better?

I think Facebook reduces photo/video quality when you upload.

Yesterday my friends and I decided to remove a tree from his property with 40lbs of tannerite. We set up a box of the binary explosive at the base of a tree, and I went back to about 100 yards and touched it off with a round fired from my AR15.
I had my friend record it with my OP3 running the latest community build and I thought it would be cool to capture it in slow motion video, because you can actually see the shockwave of the blast... The problem that I found, after the fact, is that unlike the iPhone, this phone(or camera app) doesn't capture audio in SlowMo mode?
Is there a way to change this, or a better camera app to use? I obviously cannot add audio to the existing video, which is a shame... But in the future it would be nice.
I would say that the one area where the new iPhones beat most Android phones is the camera. Not so much the camera itself(to the untrained eye), but in the software and capabilities... When I had an iPhone 6s+ it would do slowmo at 240fps(versus 120fps) and it captured audio. Then you could edit the video on the phone, crop it down, change what part of the video you wanted to be in slowmo, what parts to play at normal speed, and save it. Really neat to crop it all down and have it play normally with audio and then only slow down the cool part that you want...
I was able to crop it and play with the speeds on my video, but I had to import it into Windows Movie Maker and do it there, and of course, there is no audio... If I could take the iPhones camara and editing capability and put it on this phone, that would be ideal...
Any ideas?

It's not a problem of oxygen os; for some reason the Android doesn't capture sound in slow motion.

Darn, that's a shame. His iPhone records audio even at 240fps... Would be nice if we could do that in Android... there is no reason why it can't do it, someone just didn't bother to put the feature in there...
Sometimes you want audio in there, especially if you plan to speed it up, then it would sound normal...

The professional cameras as I know doesn't record sound too, so maybe they blocked the sound because they think is useless. :/

Android is capable of capturing sound in slow motion. Oneplus 3 doesn't do it. You can search videos on youtube with 'pixel xl slow motion' 'galaxy note 7 slow motion' etc and you will see that they all record video (on most of them the sound is mono in slow motion - usually left side).

Ok, so it isn't an Android limitation, it is more up to the maker of the particular phone to decide if they want to enable it or not...
As much as I hate to say it, the way Apple does it is tremendous... Not only can they do 240fps, but their video editing software is really slick... I don't know that I can even crop a video on this thing... Oh well.
Hey guys, have you seen this thread?

I have an OP3T running OOS 4.1.1 rooted, and can assure it works.
Sure, it would need some tweaks to get the best out of it, but still.. you get SlowMo with sound
The mod works with OB13 as well. I'm using it
