Does this nice software to improve the videocamera of JAMin work properly?
yes.
hi, i just tried it, fotofunctions are very nice, but video is just horrable !!
i have just 4fps with neo and 5s to capture (maybe the shareware restriction)
btw. the storage is on a LEXAR 512mb SD Card
video should always be stored in main memory-> 10-15fps.

Did anyone try to record MPEG-4 video with XDA II on your SD memory card?
I've tried Toshiba 256MB/128MB and Sandisk 128MB SD memory, and the frame skip rate is quite high. The video seems like being recorded at only 2~5 FPS. If you record the video for more than 2 mintues, you will find that the voice doesn't sync with the motion.
The maximum data transfer rate of Toshiba 256 SD memory is about 2MB/s. Thus I think this problem isn't due to the "relatively" slow transfer rate of my SD card(compared to the "fast" sd card of transfer rate up to 10MB/s). :roll:
Is there anyone who has the experience of recording MPEG-4 video on the SD card and suffers the same problem with me?
2 Questions and I will test this for you:
1. How do you record directly to the storage card?
2. How do you get sound with your movie?
Thanks,

Bump.
Can anyone answer these questions?

Hi,
To record a video directly to a storage card, in Camera mode, click the settings icon (the first from left to right icons at the buttom), then select Tools > Options... > Video. In there, at the buttom of the page, you'll see Folder and Change..., click it to choose the destination folder on Storage Card, and then click ok to save the settings.
To enable sound, above the Folder, there's a checkbox to chose "Recording with audio." Check this box to include sound in your video recording.
HTH.
Guh, I'm an idiot, only saw the options icons on the lower right.
Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate it.
As far as the voice recording, anyone know if the system volume (device, not phone) has to be turned on? Will it work if it's on mute (or vibrate)? If not, does it make a difference if it's on the lowest volume notch vs. the highest?
I would run some tests myself, but I can't right now (XDA II isn't accessible atm).
Thanks for the reply.

And no problem here too, will find some time to test recording long video on SD.
Cheers. :lol:
I just got my 512MB Panasonic SD memory card(10MB/sec) tonight, and got it to test with the XDA II video recording function.
I found that the difference really existed when I recorded MPEG-4 video with a 2MB/s SD memory card compared to a 10MB/s SD memory card.
The video recording process is much smoother if you use the 10MB/s SD card to record the video, but once the video is recorded, there is no difference whether you are playing the video file on a 2MB/s SD card or on a 10MB/s SD card.
The conclusion is: the recording process is the key. You should get a faster card when recording a MPEG-4 video file.

re
omg I have only just realised this thanks to this thread. I have been recording vid on my xda 2 stored on my SD card, and the framerate and sound quality has been poor, but never had video on a PDA before so didn't really think too much of it.
Just completed some tests recording to the My Documents/pictures file which was the default location I think and video is superb in comparison, DOH.
In future all my vids will be recorded in phone memory, I'll just have to move them to storage card afterwards to avoid space problems.
N1, I offer no help or suugestions just confirmation of your own findings,
Cheers, Shire
hi, i am newbe so i am sorry for my silly question in advance. i'd like to mention that i tried to serch what i am interested in before i posted this.
can anybody tell me excatly what kind of vide or movie formats or files does universal support ? and if it dosnt support many is there anyway to upgrade it to enable this device ?? does is suport divx or avi , mpeg files ? and can u convert the above to the format universal support ?
and what is the SD card universal support. what is the mac size ? 4GB ? or lesss ?
cheers,
matt willing to get MDA Pro
MDA Pro supports 4 GB SD Cards.
Maybe it will support bigger sizes, but i think no one has a 8GB test card.
WMP 10 Mobile support only Microsoft Formats.
If you like to play other formats look on this project http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
It is also important to know that:
YES, the Universal supports 4GB SD Cards ONLY for running and storing applications or files. The camera application won't allow you to store recorded movies nor pictures taken by the camera if you are using 4GB SD cards.
2GB SD cards don't have any problem.

4gb cards don't have a problem usually, providing the free space on it is less than 2gb.
Hi
I have a 2G SD card but the video recording will only record 16mins which is about 10megs, how do I hack it to have umlimited storage as I have click on the option already but it doens't work.
Thanks
Hi ! Is there a way to record video at 320x240 with the Prophet ? (my unit is the S200). Possibly by using software or something ? (normally the max resolution for video recording on the S200 is 176x144, which is kind of strange considering that S100 and other HTC/Qtek even older models are capable of recording at 320x240 resolution)
Many thanks.
anybody ?
Coolcamera can switch resolution up to 640x480.
Unfortunately the framerate drops to 10fps @320 and 4fps @640 what is not so great.
I am wondering also why other devices are so much better with video..maybe therer is a different solution out there using also the Intel graphicsprozessor onboard.
If anybody has a better solution i am interested in it also.
there was a bug once
before i upgraded ROM it showed 320x240 video resolution option but did record in the small (140x80 or sth). After upgrading I thought they would fix it but instead they just removed the option!!
are new's about de SW to use a 320x240 video resolution ??
use CoolCamera, you can use 320x240 but the framerate will probably be low. I found that framerate depends especially on SD card speed. So the SD card is the bottleneck. If you use hi-speed SD card framerate should be accetable. Good ligting is also very important
Hi all,
First Noobie-Noob question from me, although I'm hoping it's both relevant and of interest as I couldn't find a single mention of this particular topic...
There's a few threads about replacement media players and associated custom video conversion configurations... but is there any specific configuration to enable smooth 640x480 video under the factory standard WMPlayer?
I know I the best answer would be to flash the ROM and install a load of other software - Not only am I brand new to this, but I'm currently struggling just to figure out why Buzzdev's 'Universal SIM Unlocker' won't work on my SPV M5000. Until I get that sorted, flash the ROM and install TCPMP, I'm stuck with seeing what I can get from an otherwise phoneless unmodded factory-standard brick (nothing like a challenge, eh!).
Currently, I'm running Win-7 64-bit Ultimate on my PC and using the latest version of Windows Movie Maker to convert my video clips, which are then played on the standard WMPlayer from a 2gb SD card (I know, I know).
WMM has a pre-set 'PocketPC' configuration that runs fine on my unmodded Qtek 9100 - 240x320 at 15fps, perfectly smooth even from the SD card and takes up <200mb per file!
However, using 'PocketPC' configuration on the unmodded SPV M5000 the audio is fine but picture is very choppy and juddery, as if the fps is too low.
Clips run smoothly if I set up a custom configuration to 15fps for 464x288 at 490kbps, but they still leave wasted screen space.
So, my question - Can anyone tell me please, how to set up video conversion to the full 640x480 while remaining smooth on the WMPlayer playback and, if possible, *why* their solution works where my other attempts have failed?
Both devices have 64mb RAM and 128mb ROM (with about the same volume accessible on each), but the M5000 has 520mHz, compared to the 195mHz of the 9100.
Both have been stripped of unnessesary processes as far as I can manage from the FAQs here and the M5000 has almost 30mb of free program memory next to the 24mb on the 9100 (not sure why the unit with faster processor is so much slower and laggy, though).
Is it the fps, or the kbps that I'm getting wrong?
Is there a ratio or something for the different resolutions?
I know the resolution should be exactly divisible by 16, but I don't know if there's a correlation with the kbps...?
I also know that playing direct from the SD card is supposed to cause lag, which it does as far as control responses go, but playback on the 9100 is always seamless.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks for your time,
Dylan.
Hmmm... Didn't manage to find a decent solution.
Did manage to flash ROM to Tomal's rather funky v8.9 and TCPMP seems to run AVIs well enough without any conversion. Slightly stuttery, but miles better than what I have been getting. Even the screen size is pretty good.
