Video Recording - Pause? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

On my old Captivate I was able to be recording a video, and pause it/restart it, and it continued recording to the same video.
Anyone know of an app or method I can accomplish this?

Of course I know I could do that, but if I have the capability to pause/resume recording, like my old Captivate, that would save a lot of effort. It also alleviated the pause of starting the recording that is experienced when starting a new recording.

Cool Something to look forward to.
I've considered moving to one of the JB ROMs, but when I read the threads, I get a bit discouraged with the various issues. Also, I don't want to lose the stock calendar that comes with the SGS III. Getting more anxious for the JB upgrade from Samsung.

Camcorder Format

Hey
Was wondering it if it possible to edit the original camcorder app to record in a different format something like .mp4 with better audio?
Reason I ask, is when I've used 3rd part voice recorder app's the sound is better, so it must be possible to get good sound.
If the above isn't possible would it be at all possible to write a new camcorder app that records in the .mp4 format with higher audio quality?
This would be a huge app, so i'm not expecting anything, but just wondered if it is at all possible.
I'm not a developer so I don't know.
Thanks for any info, hoe this is the right section, figured is developer stuff more then app based.

I've been hearing around the forums about a codec fix in build.prop, you might want to do a search for that, could possibly be what your looking for.

I would like to see an mp4 format. Tho I am not a dev. Just someone who knows enough to probably break it. Lol

I'm interested in this as well. My usage scenario is to record video with the camcorder and use twonkyserver to stream it directly from my phone to my LG TV, which supports mp4 and mkv containers, but not 3gp.
it is probably possivle, but i dont have a clue wjere to start.

[Q] Does SGS2 support proper call recording ?

So, i'm about to get a new phone which MAY be an SGS2.
However i need to know if it can record calls properly, without all this external speaker bull**** ?
Currently i own SGS and its useless in this regard.
If SGS2 doesnt record properly, which of new dualcores does ?
Yes it does. Just use CallRecorder from the market.
CallRecorder works great on the S2, the quality of the sound is perfect. The downside is that when you transfer the wav. file to your laptop, the file format is not recognised.
I have downloaded some software to my pc that converts wav format to mp3 but the file is still not recognised.
Any advice please.
There seems to be quite a few CallRecorder apps on the market, could you please give a market link to the one you are referring too please.
Call recorder has a little green android next to it in market.

No, it doesnt
Killer mobile have just updated their Total Recall app for android and cleared out a couple bugs, this now seems to work just fine for me. It also has the option to record in 3gp, wav, mp3, amr, plus you can auto upload to evernote or e-mail out through gmail.
Call quality is pretty good, only downside is it will not work with blue tooth head sets, correction it does work and record but you cant hear the person your talking to but the recording comes out fine lol.
Ill try the other one recommended here and see if its any better on the quality side but best thing for me with TR is you can set it to prompt at the end of the call to save or not so routine calls or family ones can be deleted without taking up space, you can also use as a dictaphone with a instant record button widget and remote sms into it to record when you have left it in a room and want to know what's been said if your feeling a little paranoid lol.
Is there any free call recorder which works without having to install new ROM?
I use stock 2.3.3 ROM and would like to continue using stock ROM.
I saw "audio hack" on forum - is it needed?
Maybe I have to upgrade to 2.3.5?
Maybe I need kernel supporting it (I use Speedmod)?
I've tried 5 programs and all of them doesn;t record anything or records silence. (dind't try TotalRecall because it isn't free).
alternatively you can try MIUI rom which comes with build in call recording. =)
I don't want MIUI, I don't want alternative ROM, I only need to know why sometimes call recording works, and sometimes doesn't. Is it ROM problem, kernel problem, lack of libraries problem?
Search forum for hacked call app it has native call recording works with any rom.

Please stop spamming about Total Recall, all threads about call recording are full of that. Total Recall isn't free and I ask for a free solution.

[05/04] Hardware Video encoding in camcorder for ICS (updated 05/04)

Update (05/04)
Full functionality for HWA ROMs.
http://www.mediafire.com/?fn7c5meuecu03al
Camera, Camcorder, Panorama, Barcode scanner works.
Source code updated at my github
https://github.com/rapmv78/android_hardware_qcom_camerahal
Update (05/03)
No longer limited to 30secs of video.
Works with non-HWA ROMs only.
http://www.mediafire.com/?di83qp997ahx3po
For HWA ROMs.
http://www.mediafire.com/?fvc918btgcjcn0d
Youtube fix is available at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25699244&postcount=139
Flash the above zip and then the youtube only fix or flash the all inclusive zip from the post.
After many weeks and long nights of reversing and staring at the proprietary QCom binaries, I have a breakthrough and got hardware video encoding to work. Here is a zip file which can be flashed on top of an ICS ROM.
http://www.mediafire.com/?t7iupkna19ka23l
The video is encoded fine, but may playback on the device choppy, which I guess is due to the decoder codec not working fine. If you play the recorded video on a computer, you should not see any choppiness.
Many thanks to dermann for sending me his device which helped me do this work.
Enjoy and thanks for your feedback. I will post source changes later.
Greatly appreciate all your generous donations, every bit of it. Thanks a lot.

You never give up do you. This has literally just been released, and your already badgering the dev for more. Every thread I visit I see you hassling devs for updates. If you need full functionality go back to a GB rom
@op: thanks so much for your commitment. quality seems improved but framerate is still poor. Is this due to kernel lacking full hwa?

-Effects (in Video Record settings) Force Close on every selection.
a little bit more fine tune will be perfect

Seems like by using 3rd party video app will cure the lags. I'll give it a shot.

Poor choice of words is all i can say,
abusive post reported.
@op, how does this work since i don't think any of the hd2 kernels currently have opengl implemented in kgsl/adreno drivers unlike Evervolv for passion and bravo. I suppose it is for when opengl is implemented for hd2 or is openmax codecs not related to opengl in anyway ? (but then why'd they stopped working with ics ?)
@jwchips, relax and enjoy such posts.

[Q] Snapchat recording time jacked on CM based ROMS

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this problem; but on any CM Rom I am having problems with Snapchat in terms of recording time for recording time. For some reason it is not maximized (or doesn't go to the time allotted). The video stops extremely short, and only gives about one second of recording time. Does anyone that uses this know why?

I'm also having this problem, mine just records about 5 seconds and plays back like 3 seconds.
Has anyone found the fix for this?
This is still a problem!

Bump!! Running uXylon. Very short Snapchat video recording with both front and rear facing cameras. And i'm not sure if this is could be related but the video recording quality in Instagram is terrible -- very pixilated.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I've found the fix is to go into the settings and change the video quality from standard to low quality. Hope this helps everyone!
I have also found you can set the camera quality back to standard after performing the previous fix and the issue seems to disappear.

All you have to do is change the camera settings to low, and the camera orientation to 180 and it should work! I had this problem as well.

Had a dream about this... Try going to Camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Then go back to Snapchat and see if that works for you. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you

[Q] Snapchat Video Recording/Playback Error

I'm using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 on CM11 with TWRP. I cannot seem to get video recording or playback (although I am not very sure about video playback, I've only received pictures in the past while) to work. With an older version of Snapchat, video recording appears to work but then right before I am about to send the video, a message pops up and says that it cannot play the video. Is this related to "Camcorder does not actually record to storage" in the TeamChopsticks "Known Issues That Will Be Fixed"? If not, is there a way that I can fix this?

I've been having this problem with all jellybean ROMs, including stock.
I'm with ya, most likely a Jellybean problem. So if you absolutely need it, maybe revert to an ICS rom or go to stock.

I have had these problems too, I find that the version that works is SnapChat 3.07, lets you use front and rear cam for pics and video with no issues.
I just googled for the APK
Im running CM 11 nightlies. I think it's something to do with video framework. I have similar problems with the Tiny Chat app.
I tried googling but couldn't find it could you pm me a link
