What's a good combination of settings for encoding movies for the GNex to get good resolution without stuttering or a very large file?
I could try experimenting with various settings, but figure this has been discussed extensively and I've failed to find a good answer by searching. Perhaps Handbrake's Android Mid or Android High settings?
EDIT: Handbrake's Android Mid setting resulted in the wrong aspect ratio for the first encoding I tried (it can be set correctly manually). Here's a post with some suggestions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Hello!
After searching and reading through threads, I came to nothing. I try to find out, if it is possible to record 720p (or even 800x480) video with high quailty audio - I mean in better way than the standard 8khz, AMR, Mono codec.
From the threads here (and other forums) I learned different things. Some people said, it is impossible, some say, it is possible and some say they already have it.
Also tried lgCamera app from the Market (version 4.4) and tried EVERY possible combination of resolution, encoder, bitrate, audio codec, etc. - none of them worked and got Record video failed error.
Any help on this? Recommended settings?
BTW, I am using a rooted Desire (AMOLED) with LeeDroid 2.3C
Thanks in advance,
David
I know there has been much discussion with settings for the camera but I haven't found anything helpful in regards to camcorder settings.
I tried to record part of a concert last night and the video and the sound were horrible. Also tried a few videos in daylight and the results were less than stellar.
1st what is the best resolution? I heard using the 720p compresses the file too much so WVGA, VGA, CIF or QVGA?
2nd what is best encoding type? H.263 or MPEG4?
Flicker adjustment? Auto, 50Hz or 60Hz?
I guess I could play around with the settings for awhile but figured why reinvent the wheel if someone has success with settings they are using.
Any help would be appreciated
OK,I guess most experienced people would know about this,but still,here goes.
If you have a root browser(downloadable from play store),then you can edit the media_profiles.XML found in system/etc.
This can be edited to get your video recording from 640*480 @ 24fps to 720*480 @ 30 fps.(This is excellent for viewing on the wildfire S.)While technically higher resolutions and frame rates are possible,the stock Gingerbread camcorder app doesn't seem to list it in settings.Plus,higher frame rates don't work properly for me anyway.
So,here's how to do it :
In media_profiles.XML,under encoder profile high, change the width to 720,height to 480 and frame rate to 30.
(I'm not really sure about the following part,although no harm in trying.I'm just not sure whether this is really necessary).
Under each of the encoders below that (h264,h263,m4v) make the maximum height and width to anything you want above 720*480 and frame rate(if below 30) to 30.Max bitrates can be changed too,if you want.
I think its possible to change the camera encoding quality too,although for general day to day purposes,It's not too useful.
I'm open to any suggestions/Improvements if found.

have u tried it??

Well,yeah.I don't see how I could have known this otherwise.
Actualy on the stock 2.26 these values are 720/480/24 by default dunno what rom were you testing this at.
If you do it once,even if you completely reset it,it goes to 720*480/24.
Maybe it's an update by HTC,as initially it's supposed to be 640*480/24.
Anyway the main thing is changing the framerate to 30 fps.....really improves overall video recording.
Hello, respected developers!
As the topics concerning camera app are slowly fading down, I start a new one here.
I tried both existing mods/apps of a 4.1 standard camera and a custom apps like lgCamera. Still I can't get 25 fps in recorded videos even when I set it to this particular value. I can get it when i use AxelVoyager in-car videorecorder, but it's quite buggy and not that common-to-operate and this setting must be applied manually every time before I start record.
I need this 25 fps setting because my other video recordings are in PAL (25 fps) and it's not a common task to convert fps correctly to match each other.
As far as I can understand with my many-years-ago-IT-background, this should not be a problem for an experienced person to compile a version of a standard camera app with pathced media profiles that have 25 instead of 30 fps in 1080p and 720p HD media-profiles. So I kindly ask for that.
Thanks.
I've been trying to increase my camera's quality by editing the "media_profiles.xml" file, without luck. It seems like it's been ignoring my changes to the file. The first thing I've tried to do was simply to increase the fps from 30 to 60, to see what happens. There are many different encoder profiles for 1080p video, so I've edited them all, without luck.
I know that you can already record in 60 fps by selecting the different mode i the camera app, but I'd also like to increase the bitrate of both the video and the audio, and also the resolution (if possible) to the camera sensor's maximum of 2688х1520 pixels. (120 fps possible, for ultra slowmotion?)
I'm s-off with the newest firmware for 4.4.3 and running Android Revolution 9.1 (wiped this morning, so fresh installation).
I know about this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743174&page=52
But unfortunately it doesn't work for my phone since the 4.4.3 update (even though there's a person saying that it does work for him/her) I also want to learn how to edit the settings so I can customize it so it suits me.
Thanks for reading
Bump!
I'd really appreciate some help!
Help will be greatly appreciated!

I can't help with this, but have you tried asking in the picture thread? There are a couple of guys in there that might help.
Pictures Taken With M8
Alright, in the thread I linked in OP, I followed the instructions some users suggested and made the mod work again
It works flawlessly for me and many others.
Unfortunately OP is banned, so I've attached the file that's I've edited to work (per the instructions) with Sense 4.4.3 ROMS, happy flashing!
