Looking for a HQ video recording app

Hello all, I am looking for a HQ video recorder application for my HTC Evo 4G. I currently use tap-a-talk for HQ audio recording which works great, any ideas for video other than the stock camcorder?

There really isnt any better solution. The bottleneck in the bad recoding is the codec that android uses for 720p.

Bummer.....so there is virtually no way to load a different codec on my device? I am able to record HQ audio not using HTC's recorder app but a third party app. Is that not using a different codec?

If tour good at coding its highly possible.

Also, Kernels Make A Big Difference.

Well good ol kernel #17 was great but I don't think It's compatible with 3.70. If it is, I need it.

wow, its my 2nd post.. lol .Anyway i tried using tape-a-talk audio recorder, and yes it works great. So then i tried to mix it.
First i start the record on tape-a-talk. then i press home button so the recording still continue. After that.. i open the camcorder app, in setting i choose record without sound (if choose with sound, the camcorder will force close). Finally i edit it on PC, a little trim on the audio, using a video audio merger, i sync the audio within the video. Voila.
The problem was.. the laggy video, very hard to sync the audio and video.
I guess i'll buy a new microsd class 6 or 10, hopely it'll improve the video quality.

Can anyone confirm that 720 video can not work with 3.7 ? If this is the case then I may have to go back to a previous sense based rom.

[Q] Skype with video call

Anyone successfully use the app for video call?
i've tried some..but only voice call that can be make..

Same here can't make, recive video calls no matter wifi 4g or 3g
As far as I know works only on nexus one
By the way how to cheat so Skype will be think is install on nexus one

You can receive video calls using unlocked Skype 2.0.47 version from xda but as far as I know you can't send video from your own phone. I have black image from my camera (G2 with 02/07/11 CM nightlie) when video calling with other person using Windows version of Skype. Really good receiving video quality over wi-fi, though.

Can u provide a link to that unlocked skype
Edit
Found but working only ina way
On the beginning call so see my camera when call is revived I see only other can and my one is black
So received video is working but my one is not
G2 with lastest cyanogen nightly stock kernel and Oct to 1.5
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

yah same here i tried the unlocked version from xda and i can see the other person from a pc and from an iphone but video isnt working on my side (black screen)

It won't work since Skype wants its video stream from a front camera. Which we ain't got. If it can be done on an N1 and it doesn't work on ours, maybe its calling in a weird way.

New build for Desire HD works well on G2/Desire Z with CM nightlies.
Here's the link to working version:

Nor working with every rom. I suppose it depends of the base used.

i downloaded the official skype from the market, and i made a successful 2 way video call from lebanon to canada... it was awesome, no lag, no problem

Try qik
Works but uses rear cam

Worked fine when I was on stock OTA gingerbread, I skyped my girlfriend for about an hour but it was pretty silly with no front facing camera , haven't tested it with CM 7.1 yet.

I didnt get problems in the past using CM 7.1 with that

Adobe acrobat AIR where is it?

Where is this program. The market keeps saying not downloadable. A mate needs it to play unibet poker online

Wildfire S doesn't support Adobe Flash & Adobe AIR, just like ChaCha. This phones are low-end phones and thats is a problem - shame, becouse there are quite nice and new phones.

Why it doesnt make sense!!

Low end phone with incompatible hardware, very simple.

I've managed to get Adobe Flash Player 10.2 working on my HTC ChaCha! I've done a tutorial on how to do it
Hope this helps

I also got Flash 10.2 working on the Wildfire S. Videos work great and most flash based apps do too. But flash based apps don't show in the market, which is fine by me.

Check out fring

I have never had an enjoyable experience with video chat on froyo. That's the only thing the gingerbread leaks can do better. That said on gingerbread:
Oovoo sucks
Fring sucks
Qik sucks
Modded galaxy skype is good
Gtalk video chati hear is good
However I have no 4g whatsoever so this is all on 3g
Hope this helps

Before searching , is Tango available for Free and on the market ?

Have to agree, and Tango is multi-platform, so works for iPhone users too...

I wouldn't put any of the leaks on her phone. Stick with an ec05 build they're solid. As far as a video chat app Im not sure of one for froyo. I think Skype only allows voice chat for froyo builds, don't quote me on that though.

skype only works with gb (personally tested it) skype will NOT allow you to video chat with froyo.
it will even provide this statment when you first startup the skype app.
just go to the market and in the search box type "video chat for android" and it will give you all the apps. the only one that i like is skype. it was the only one that worked smooth for me.
SORRY! I COULDN'T POST THE APP LINK PAGE FOR YOU.

Tango works well on wifi/4g. It auto-searches your contacts and creates a list of who else has it.
That's what I use

Your Skype is working. Do you have icons for Video on it? I've had it before but after upgrade they disappeared.

I've got GTalk, but it doesn't seem to want to let me use video. My girlfriend is always on GTalk and I would kill to be able to show her what the hell I'm talking about when I'm shopping and I need her to tell me which item to throw in the cart.
I'm on a GB ROM, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
PS: To anyone wondering why only certain programs can do video chat on Froyo, it's because GB includes an APK that allows the OS to grab video from the FFC and provide it to the application asking for it. On Froyo, the app has to be written specifically to be compatible with the device to use the FFC.

ioslivetv.net (thx to gadger for the heads up)

Try it on your phone and be amazed (got the tip from gizmodo.com)
When you have selected a channel you must first go to fullscreen mode before playback. Once you are in fullscreen mode hit the playback button and enjoy!
Note:
Seems to be working again under a different url: ioslivetv.net and ioslivetv.net.ru ^^ ty Gadger & ~Immo~ !

It works well on tablet and phone, enjoy it while it lasts though, I can't imagine this site being allowed to stay online for too long with it broadcasting premium channels for free.

If you click on a channel you have to watch will some sort of video screen loads (just like youtube)
But i won't playback on it's own, first you have to click on the fullscreen button (on the far right of the playback button)
When it is on fullscreen, then you can hit playback and enjoy your ride
