HTC 10 Camera Video Recording and mkv. - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

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 should disable " High res audio" to record in with a normal extention.

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:

Probably in the default.acc never checked for it but I do know other 4k video camera apps have unlimited time.

HTC Desire Video Quality and Compression

Hey there,
In my experience, the Desire compresses the hell out of all recorded video, which makes it blurry. My girlfriend ran a marathon a couple of weeks ago, I recorded parts of it but people's faces looked like they had been blurred out digitally, or as taken from a Japanese 00's horror-flick.
I have the highest quality setting activated, as well as the MPEG4 encoding type selected. Still the Desire saves videos in the outdated .3GP-format that I had on my Sony Ericsson's six years ago, instead of as .MP4.
The file size of one minute of recorded video is about half the size of the same recording on my Nokia N97, and unfortunately, the quality is about half as well.
Is it just me, or does the Desire compress video way too hard? And why aren't they saved as .MP4 when the MPEG4 setting is on? Is there a tweak to decrease the compression ratio?
Thanks!

Neither .3GP or .MP4 are video formats - they are container formats (see here).
If you select MPEG4, it will be saving as MPEG4 within the 3GP container.
As to the actual recorded quality, I can't really comment as on the few occasions I've used it to record video, it looks ok to me.

Dave

Intriguing, I did not know that Thanks. Still bummed about the video quality, though. There ought to be a setting for those who prioritize quality and not small files.

We're supposed to be getting an update to support recording at 720p (as well as DivX). HTC announced this before the Desire had shipped, but has been curiously silent on the matter since then.
I did tweet @HTC about the lack of a DivX update, but @HTC only wants to respond to trivial nonsense it seems.
Regards,
Dave
Yeah I noticed they are quiet on that at the moment.
I wonder if they are planning it with the 2.2 update maybe?
hmm, I got a feeling they have trashed the 720p video quality update.
it has been silence about it for a long time:\
Froyo 2.2 will have the 720 option it was mentioned in the detailed Google IO paper. Along with better gmail. End calls with the power buttons. And app updates upposed to OS revisions.
The max option records at 2Mbps. You can get decent quality from that, most YouTube vids are far far lower. The framerate however differs depending on the ambient light but anything plus 15ish looks fine.

Is there even a "max" option for the video camera? If so, where is it located? I can only find a quality setting for the still camera. A 40 second video clip recorded with my HTC Desire is approx. 10MB. That's very far from 2 MB per second?

It's 2 Mbit /s (Mega bit), not MB (Mega Byte).
2mbps is not 2MB per second
its more like 256KB per second in the terms you're using

i use format factory free to download and only program which rips bluray rips .mkv to make it work for htc desire. You can choose from so many profile and test the settings which suits best to your mobile i believe res setting for htc desire are 400 by 800. i can send you setting i use. I ripped avatar blueray rip 8gb to 745mb with awesome quality. Give it a go you wont be disapointed and it supports subs. it basically supports all formats.
i just used MEGUI and it's iphone preset but left the res as 800xwhatever. AAC audio.
worked fine.
Format Factory sounds great with a whole bunch of the 23 reviews saying it has a trojan in the installer and also automatically installs the Ask Toolbar!
i myself megui for ripping but format factory is way easy to use. Megui is bit complicated program i do use it for ripping you can crop colour correction etc but megui takes longer to rip. i have found format factory to rip 720p rips perfect for my nokia n97 mini and desire.

You can use a free program called Mediainfo, take a few clips with diffrent settings and see the codec and bitrate.

I believe it was back when the Desire was the Bravo - there was alot of talk of 720p recording and the fact the hardware supports it

Video recording - fps

Hi
Had a search and couldn't find an answer so here I go.
I believe that the desire records at 15 fps which leads to choppy recordings vs my iPhone 3gs. I was wondering, is there a hack to increase the fps beyond what it currently sits at?
Thanks

Yes, Froyo. Should add 720p recording at min 20 FPS.
Does the eventual update also add better sound quality to video recordings?
I say AMR 8000khz codec is worse then my now defunct N73....

I really don't see why HTC chose to only encode audio with the AMR-codec at such low quality... Is the microphone of such poor quality that they "hide" it using this codec?
Anyone tried recording sound using some another software?

What would your guys recommend for playing .avi videos on the Desire? There are so many to choose from. Act 1 is good? It's not free

The beta RockPlayer is the best AVI player we currently have. However, which AVI it plays depends on that vids properties (like format).
Check the themes and apps section under titles like 'DivX/XviD player'.
Act 1 is excellent for many other vids, like H.264.

I can't link or search threads through the phone app but this has been discussed extensively before. You can record much higher quality audio using other apps. Mainly those saving in MP3, PCM, MP4 and WAV. I'm not sure how they do it though.
For simple, quick, voice recording I use Virtual Recorder the most.

i absolutely agree with you....i want a super smooth recording and playback at the 480p size and not more...if the quality of this is good then you can upscale it with conversion...but if it's crappy high resolution then even if you downgrade it it won't be very smooth

As has been discussed a few times priorly, the current vid recording FPS have been observed to fluctuate between ~3-28 based on the ambient light levels, level of motion in the footage and the speed of the cam movement. The current recording can be much improved over but these factors contribute to some hard fundamental limitations.

(Request) JPK Froyo video 2-5 seconds long for testing

As stated in the title I need short video file download from those running on jpk. 1280 by 720. Daytime nighttime does not matter. Just playing around with codecs.
here you go
thanks a lot.
good to know that froyo brings mp4 with aac instead of eclair crappy 3gpp with amr. should be better for the concerts and loud environments now.
lol...When i first saw the video i laughed, i didnt read wat the op said, just the title...rofl
@idan - there is no significat difference with aac audio, the sound is still crappy when you record a concert.

Damn audio, totally ruins the recording/video experience with this phone...
It still is a great improvement, now I can just make a video, start AllShare and immidiately see the result on the big screen using my PS3. I always thought it was a shame to use this stupid 3GP container so I have to remux all the videos on my PC.
As for the sound: does the phone record from headset if connected? If yes, I guess this could be exploited to use a better microphone. The inbuilt one is meant for the phone function, obviously, and they just didn't add another for noise cancellation and video recording.

Fantastic. Now all we need is touch-to-focus in video mode.
another nice thing would be to be able to change the recording sound volume or some thingy that corrects its selve when you record loud things.

It is possible to record from headset but sound is still crappy. It's software problem.
The problem is with the mic itself, it is very sensitive, it would be great if there was an app that could monitor the input level of the mic and adjust de volume when its lower or higher than a certain threshold level, if not automatic at least manually.
Some kind of mic equalizer?
my bad it was always aac audio and not amr. by mistake i compared with old nexus video lol. only wrapper changed to mp4.

SloMo video recording doesn't capture audio?

Yesterday my friends and I decided to remove a tree from his property with 40lbs of tannerite. We set up a box of the binary explosive at the base of a tree, and I went back to about 100 yards and touched it off with a round fired from my AR15.
I had my friend record it with my OP3 running the latest community build and I thought it would be cool to capture it in slow motion video, because you can actually see the shockwave of the blast... The problem that I found, after the fact, is that unlike the iPhone, this phone(or camera app) doesn't capture audio in SlowMo mode?
Is there a way to change this, or a better camera app to use? I obviously cannot add audio to the existing video, which is a shame... But in the future it would be nice.
I would say that the one area where the new iPhones beat most Android phones is the camera. Not so much the camera itself(to the untrained eye), but in the software and capabilities... When I had an iPhone 6s+ it would do slowmo at 240fps(versus 120fps) and it captured audio. Then you could edit the video on the phone, crop it down, change what part of the video you wanted to be in slowmo, what parts to play at normal speed, and save it. Really neat to crop it all down and have it play normally with audio and then only slow down the cool part that you want...
I was able to crop it and play with the speeds on my video, but I had to import it into Windows Movie Maker and do it there, and of course, there is no audio... If I could take the iPhones camara and editing capability and put it on this phone, that would be ideal...
Any ideas?

Darn, that's a shame. His iPhone records audio even at 240fps... Would be nice if we could do that in Android... there is no reason why it can't do it, someone just didn't bother to put the feature in there...
Sometimes you want audio in there, especially if you plan to speed it up, then it would sound normal...

The professional cameras as I know doesn't record sound too, so maybe they blocked the sound because they think is useless. :/

Android is capable of capturing sound in slow motion. Oneplus 3 doesn't do it. You can search videos on youtube with 'pixel xl slow motion' 'galaxy note 7 slow motion' etc and you will see that they all record video (on most of them the sound is mono in slow motion - usually left side).

Ok, so it isn't an Android limitation, it is more up to the maker of the particular phone to decide if they want to enable it or not...
As much as I hate to say it, the way Apple does it is tremendous... Not only can they do 240fps, but their video editing software is really slick... I don't know that I can even crop a video on this thing... Oh well.
Hey guys, have you seen this thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/op3-3t-unlock-720p-slowmotion-video-t3566276
I have an OP3T running OOS 4.1.1 rooted, and can assure it works.
Sure, it would need some tweaks to get the best out of it, but still.. you get SlowMo with sound
The mod works with OB13 as well. I'm using it

The video that was posted (That i can see) definitely seems like you have excess white/background noise. Are you running a kernel? if so return to stock. It seems almost like a noise cancellation error, you can read about it in a few places, just google "pixel microphone problems"

Do you mean excess video noise or sound noise?
In lowlight, you can't expect the video to be free of noise. It has to boost the ISO to keep the video going at the full 30FPS, boosting ISO leads to visual noise.

I think He's talking about the audio noise. When you listen to that video, It sounds like his phone mic is in front of a fan.
