Video recorder max file size 4GB - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to record video so long with my G3, but then about 30 min to record the cam automatically stop to record.
The problem is that the video is 4 GB and the filesystem (FAT32) of internal SD card not support file more than 4GB.
I thinked to resolve this problem with an external micro SD card with filesystem exFAT.
But when videofile is 4 GB, cam still stop to record.
What can I do to remove this "cap"?
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english!

Use third party camera app like Snap camera, it allows you to capture longer videos.

Thank you! I will try Snap Camera from Play Store.

[Q] proper 480p and 720p camcorder?

Writing this thread to compile my discoveries about 480p and 720p.
Using asop roms, there's only 480p available... with default camera it kind of lags sometimes...with occasional audio sync issues.... but when i use lgcamera and mono recording with no aac encoding (very bad sound), there's audio issues... framerate can be bad at times though.
using sense roms, 720p never works well.... lags all the time, choppy and audio completely out of sync... 480p also mostly does not work well on default camera...
on lgcamera wth some low aac settings at 480p, you can get decent recordings but if you record for too long, you can have audio sync issues...
with aac disabled, at 480p, recording is decent with no audio sync issues but audio is horrible...
i am using a class 10 kingston sd card.
Can you guys share your experience? i would be satisfied to find the perfect setup for good 480p with good audio .(i know 720p is impossible on htc desire)... thx in advance for your contributions!
i just downloaded sd card tester.. my writing speed is 2.6mb/s and reading speed 9.92mb/s!! it's supposed to be a class 10 card!!! i think i got ripped off??
Take your card in reader if possible and test with crystalmark.
ok thx will try that...
look at that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523018
is there such thread for htc desire?? what the optimal settings for the media_profiles.xml?? does it work with runnymede aio rom?

A CLASS 10 with only 2.6mb/s write and 9.92 read?!?!?! The read is average but the write is very low.
If you have root access, run this app and you'll notice a huge improvement in SD write and read speeds.
Here is an article on Android Police that shows proof of speed increases: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-200-with-a-simple-tweak-hands-on-benchmarks/
Here is the app I'm talking about:
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zZGluY3JlYXNlLml0Il0.
The performance difference is absolutely stunning.
After, run SD Tools https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImFsZXMudmVsdXNjZWsuc2R0b29scyJd to check if the speed difference.
You should try to switch the sliders between different values. Each SD card is different and one value may work for somebody but not you. I'm using 4096kb on my Lexar class 10 16GB and I get read speeds of 31mb/s and write speed of 9.2mb/s.

[Q] MASSIVE video files.. why?

Hi
I own the Xperia Play R800 and since as far back as i remember whenever i record a video the file itself is humungous
For example a 20s video is 19.3MB big!
Even though i use the highest video quality how is it possible for the file to be so large?
Does anyone else share this problem?
Is there a way to reduce the file size without necessarily reducing the quality?
I use the "Camera Mod" to film but i don't think that changes anything
Whenever i want to send a video via the application WhatsApp i can't send a file longer than 15s as this would be larger than 15MB and that is the limit for that application.
How come my video files a 1s/1MB?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's devouring my memory.
thankyou thankyou thankyou :cyclops:
Thats not a problem. Because your recording either in 480p (2.3.3 firmware) or 720p (2.3.4 firmware) the higher pixels the more storage it takes. Besides thats normal video sizes your posting. If you want to correct this problem simply buy a bigger sd card.

thanks, but if that is the case how come no other phone has such big files.
Many of my friends have the Iphone 4 which i believe has higher video quality than the Xperia Play but much smaller video files

They probably have some type of compression

Besides reducing the quality of the video is there any application or anything i can do to reduce the video file size?
Compression is still reducing quality. If your asking if there a application that reduces video recording while filming on the phone then no. But you can move your recorded videos to a pc and compress it there and move back to the sd card then yes.

ok yep that's what i've done.
thanks for the help & info, appreciate it :cyclops:
Any chance someone could help me out.
I've tried the camera settings High (30 m), Low (30 m) and YouTube (High 10m) on my 'Camera Mod' app and either way the video files seem to be the same size. I'm assuming this as with either settings i can only send 15s of video via WhatsApp before it tells me "Size limit reached".
Am i doing it wrong? Am i changing the wrong settings?
I want to reduce the video quality & size.
Thankssss
I dont think u can change the size. But just curious, where exactly the default storage u set for the vid to be?? Phone or sdcrd???

[Q] Camcorder app/hack for auto-recording?

I want to make a time-lapse video (not pictures), and I need to be able to record in 1080p for a few hours. I understand the file format being capped at 4GB, but I was wondering if there's an app out there that simply starts recording another video immediately after the size limit is reached. In effect I just want the video to be split every 2 GB.
Know any workarounds?

4K (UHD) video - an audio lag

HI Guys,
today i used the 4K video recording and got fantastic video quality BUT... the audio has ~1 Sec delay/lag
I'm not using any SD card but the internal memory (32GB)
and the version is 10i
anyone? Ideas?
Thx...

video recording - 4GB limit

Hello.
Is it possibile recoder more 4GB size videos?
I've tryied with default camera app, but record stops after 4GB (about 33 minutes at 1080p).
I've tryied both on internal memory and 64 GB microsd class 10 (formatted in EXFAT).
How can i remove this limit?
Thanks
I think using an external sd card formatted in ext3/4
exfat supports files larger than 4GB so its not a file system limit.
Might be a firmware limit, something can be modified in the build props maybe ?
I think there's a 32 bit limit in the H.264 codec or MP4 container spec that causes this limit.
I just wonder how on Earth you need to record for +30 minutes/4 Gb video.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485063
Thanks. So, no solution with default app camera?
The only solution is open camera?
Thankd
Hi, don't know exactly what open camera does, but if it stops and restarts automatically (that's what I read), there's a better solution.
On the G4, camera fv-5 has no recording limit (one file).
I recorded 1080p continuously over an hour at 34mbits/s, file size around 15Gb on my external exfat 32Gb sdcard.
Sadly camera fv-5 doesn't support 4K video recording (hope it does in the near future).

WHY ? I record my whole fishing day almost every time, so if you dont use it, others maybe do.

Uses are many: road trip, family preparing the Christmas tree or just gathering, fixing something in your car / home then editing and uploading to YouTube to help others, framelapses *with sound*, session with grandma talking about ancestors, are just a few examples.
That's how on earth.
The fact you don't do these things doesn't keep others from doing them.
I just hit the same problem as it divided my video into 4 segments
So no solution for this i guess?
It look liked it collected the 4 into one file but when i sent it to youtube it only sent one segment of the total. *Sigh*

Anyone knows how one can change the camera on the fly? Seems facebook can do it so why not the camera program?
Even my old Note 2 could do that feature.
Okay so I tested it with Open Camera to see if it was Android itself or the Stock Camera App. And Open Camera just continues to record I made a 14,5 GB file recording. So... The problem of cause is Open Camera have other issues like not wanting to record in 60 frames. So I'm going to delete it again and go back to stock so not to be confused with 2 Camera programs.
So I found a solution for gluing the video files together easy - the free Program is called AviDemux and it is very easy to just glue it all together and quickly have a file ready. It seems to just fix them together without recoding it all which can take a long time and I tried another free program, openshot which took a very long time to recode it all and had issues with the sound. You need to set it up by Frames and so forth and some times you just don't get the same number of Frames Per Second when recording on the mobile.
But AviDemux did it nicely - very nice program for doing it - you just load the first main file *Control O* and then attach one file after another to and let it fly. Control A to attach another file.
