Is it just me or there's something wrong about playing HD videos on Nexus 7 2? It looks like "pixelated".
Well that certainly isn't HD video. This may be an issue with your internet than the actual device itself.

Thanks for the reply. I'm quite sure that's HD. I downloaded that video 1080p using IDM.

That isn't 1080p. I can assure you that. That has to be 320p.
I'll put a movie onto my Nexus that is 1080p and I'll see if it's like that tonight.
Is this the one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk
It's 720p, and at certain points a bit pixellated with contours.

I do not see any pixels. It may be the download manager you are using or your stream. I've attached a YouTube image from my browser, along with my Nexus 7 screenshot for you.
I use Flash Video Downloader, which downloads the entire file directly, rather than copying a stream. I'm also watching it on a full-size PC monitor, so the larger and brighter pixels let me see where the video quality isn't that great. At certain points it's clear (pun intended) with the video. In fact, I just noticed it's only 1280x534. Sometimes I wonder if "HD" videos people upload were upscaled from DVD.
Take for example this still at 0:42, saved as PNG with zero compression. JPG at 100% has similar quality.
Anyway, if this is the video the person's talking about, even if he had great throughput and HD on, it's not 1080p.

The left I can see pixels after a quick glimpse. My eyes are pretty bad but I do not see how the image on the right is contoured.
If it is what you say it is, then it's just an upscaled DVD rip and not actually blueray.

Hey HOX users!
Which App do you think is the for recording video on the HOX?
The Sense-Camera makes videos which are quite OK, however the compression is way to strong and the framerate isn't good - as many discussions show.
Additionally, I've switched to CM9 (because of design, speed, battery, settings...), so I don't have the Sense-Camera anymore.
CM9's stock camera-app records bad video and crashes very often - I use Camera FV-5 for taking photos, and the quality is awesome
So there has to be a equal alternative for recording video!
Do you know good video-recorders, which do you use?

Unfortunately, there a next to no video recording apps for android because it has to be specifically designed for the camera.

Yeah, I noticed that too, very sad though :/
I think the HOX is capable of shooting really great Videos with 60fps @ 720p, if there was an app capable of using monster

Yes.. that app is the Camera.apk that comes with the Sense ROMs. The drivers and the app are very tightly intergrated. I doubt CM9 developers will ever develop something as good as HTC when it comes to that
you should use lgCamera, you got a free version "Lite" and a paid, "Pro"
you'll get 2 apps.. one camera and one video recording
with the camera, you'll get uncompressed pictures, they'll be ~4,5mb instead of ~1,5mb
with the video recorder, you can change:
Bitrate: HTC uses 11mbps and Galaxy S3 uses 17mbps for 1080p... with this app, you can set it up to 100mbps, but that's overkill, just put it at 20mbps (with this, you get smooth recording)
Sound quality: you can record stereo sound and max 320kbps with 48hz
record in 3gp or mp4 (mp4 will be played with hardware)

only record 720p? and double bitrate is 7mbps??
lgCamera is way better!
lgCamera doesn't work for me (and reading comments in GPlay, for many).
I see the buttons, but video feedback (viewfinder) is just black. When trying to record video, it says "Video recording failed".
So yeah...

sorry wrong thread, pls delete.
It almost seems to me it would be shared as full speed, and you can simply slow it down in the LG gallery. Is this true? I uploaded a video to YouTube and it was full speed.

It captures 120 frames per second, meaning you have 4 times more frames than regular 30fps. You should upload it to your computer and then edit it. YouTube will play the video in regular 30fps because that is the normal. btw the 120fps leaves the picture quality pretty useless :/

Well, no not at all. I think that you need to read about FPS and video recording in general. It takes the slow motion pictures, but if you uploaded it to youtube it will NOT play in 120fps because YT does not support that and it would be amazingly slow (also big filesize).
Use a editing software to select the parts you want to be in slow motion, and if you want the whole video to be in slow motion you need to convert the 120fps to 30fps but stretch it. If you know what i mean.

Yeah I do, I think it's just more or less a bummer that I'd have to edit it on a computer to get the full effect.
Unless you can do the same thing with a mobile video editing app.

So I've heard, but i guess you have to manually activate that setting while uploading, and wont surprise me if you cant do so from a mobile device.
It's the image quality that renders the slow motion useless.. it looks as bad as if they used quarter of the pixels for each frame, and blew it up, then do that 4 times each 30th of a second. I don't think even my Treo 650 videos were that pixelated.
Any way to change the .mkv recording to .mpg4 when shooting video with stock camera app? This is a PIA when trying to use Videos you've shot with other apps. I'd just roll with the Google Camera but there's no silent option that I've found.

You sir are a legend!!! Have you done any comparative testing by chance with the High Res on vs Off?
I just tested this and the High Res Audio isn't a gimmick. The **** is fire. If a person was shooting something that would edit later they want this. If a person was shooting clips or something for social media or something else they could pass and it is still great.

He<y There, is there any chance to post somewhere a mkv recorded with the 10 in some loud clubs or something?
I am really trying to find out if it is better, or close even to the 4mics of the 950xl Lumia (distortion free audio recording)
Can you please go to a club and record some music ?

The only club I occupy is the gym lol but here is an album I uploaded with myself in the woods. There are multiple videos all recorded with High Res Audio. https://plus.google.com/+BrandonBuhler/posts/f5g3ndNXZve It picks up crazy detail in the ambient sounds. In some of the water shots I am quite a ways away but it's still awesome. I tested outside earlier and the main differences is that the back ground audio is clearer and more detailed. If I get out today in a crowded area I'll grab a few samples as comparison. I know it won't be the same as a loud club but it's probably the best I can do. :good:

Hey guys. I am taking pictures and video at 60FPS with this camera and they are awesome but I've noticed sending them through text destroys the quality and was wondering if anyone else was having this problem? Also Facebook as well I upload a video in HD and it the quality comes out horrible (yes I have the setting on in Facebook to upload in HD). Is there a known issue with this and does anyone know a work around, if so? Thanks in advance!
Texting videos always makes it very low quality. Facebook is only a little better even when HD is checked. You can post to youtube in 4k and share the link in facebook.
Edit: And it supports 60fps.

It is in lowish light quality. Like I said completely unedited. It shows at 1080p after reloading the player. I guess it takes time for youtube to process. In what way is your video bad?

I think I understand what you are saying. Unfortunately I was shooting on a very grainy textured wall. Try saving the video to a computer first and then upload it. Just in case the built in uploader is processing it before sending. Will have to check and see what is doing it. You can also try copying a good 4k video and sending it to see if it knows where it is coming from and trying to convert it. I did notice the quality improved over time as youtube seems to do some background conversion. As far as the difference from your samsung device you can compare by sending a video from the pixel that you shot on your samsung.
Interesting to see if something changes. I use to use a special app for sending HD pivtures and videos to Facebook that worked very well. Check the Play Store

Your welcome. I understand about Facebook. Was never happy with the picture or video quality. I think they are being to cheap on server space to host them. I recommend uploading somewhere else and just sharing the link. Facebook's link support is pretty good anyways. Since you have a Pixel phone you have unlimited picture and video backup at full quality anyways.
As the title says can it playback 2160p 8bit, 10bit, 12bit, HDR, HDR+ on the TAB S4 ? i know the display resolution is maxed 1440p if yes how ? What is the best player to use? And settings please? And does anyone know where to download sample files true 2160p 1440p from please? And other thing what is the codec to look out for ? i know this is a bit off topic i had a Sony Xperia Z ULTRA 4K and i downloaded tube mate searched for 4k content then downloaded it on to Z ULTRA it could not playback no matter what settings or player i tried it would stutter jitter etc. it was a joke i think it was a codec issue.. hence why ive started this thread. So i dont mess up on the Tab S4... Thanks
As far as I am aware only Samsung Video Player can display HDR videos correctly. There is a HDR badge next to video title while HDR content is displayed. Where to download samples from? How about asking google?
HDR is automatically disabled while taking screenshot so it isn't as the video actually looks like.
I used sample file from this thread and just random from the web. From my testing, both Samsung Video Library and MX player seem to play HDR videos correctly on Tab S4. You can easily see that screen switches to different mode and in the overview/screenshot it looks different and not HDR. Funnily enough, it plays HDR even windowed under DeX, which is kind of cool.
On the other hand (and there was another thread about this) I haven't found streaming service that would play HDR. Netflix claims HDR on appropriate titles with appropriate subscription, but if that's really HDR, it's the crappies HDR I've ever seen. Nothing else even pretends that it can stream HDR.
