I'm sure this can't be too hard...
I'm playing around with converting YouTube videos so they can play back on my Dopod. Currently I am using Free FLV Converter v3.5.0, but I always get video that play back jerky in Windows Media Player Mobile 9 (off my 8GB MicroSD card).
Can anyone recommend the best settings for video on a Hermes? Currently using:
Codec: WMV2
Size: 320x240
Video Bitrate: 750Kbps
Frame Rate: 25
Aspect: Auto
Audio Codec: WMA
Frequency: 22050
Channel Mode: Mono
Audio Bitrate: 96Kbps
Google a copy of Any Video Converter. I use it to convert WMA, FLV, anything really into MP4 format (Which our phones record in natively, so playback is smooth and clear). I use the follow video setting in Any Video Converter after choosing the mobile/pocket pc option:
Video Codec: MP4
Video Size: 320x240 (This fills the whole screen in landscape)
Video Bitrate: 512
Video Framerate: 30fps
Audio Codec: aac
Audio Bitrate: 64
Sample Rate: 11025
Audio Channel: 2
Disable Audio: 2
A/V Sync: Basic
With these settings, the video's I convert look nice.
Thanks, but do those play back in Windows Media Player Mobile 9, or do you use different software to play them back?
Using those settings in Free FLV Converter v3.5.0 results in an AVI file that gives "Cannot Play File" when trying it on my Dopod
Woohoo! The exact same settings with the free version of Any Video Converter works perfectly! Thanks!
Hello,
I have since 2 weeks a Xperia X1 which I run with an NRG Sense Rom. This, as most cooked Sense ROMs has 2 camera/camcorder apps:
- Sense (HTC) app which as a camcorder can film up to CIF (352x280) resolution in mpeg4 format
- Xperia R3AA camera app which can film up to VGA resolution in 3gp (I think H263) format
The movies made with the Sense camcorder seem relatively ok but they are lower resolution.
The movies made with Xperia camera app in VGA are quite bad: skipped frames and a lot of compression artefacts
The following tweak can be applied to SENSE camcorder app (if it's cooked in your rom)
Unlock Additional Video Recording Formats
Go to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P2 and replace the EncodeFormat value with 2147483647
This will unlock all modes/resolutions listed below:
H263(3gp): CIF 352x288 \ M 176x144
MPEG4: L 320x240 \ CIF 352x288
3GPP2: S 128x96 \ M 176x144 \ L 320x240 \ CIF 352x288 \ VGA 640x480
MOTION JPEG: S 128x96 \ M 176x144 \ L 320x240 \ CIF 352x288
H264: L 320x240 \ CIF 352x288
Conclusion: the best results I got with sense camcorder CIF (352x280) resolution in mpeg4 format.
any other advice on how you managed to get decent movies out of xperia is welcomed
Thanks
Robert
It's a good question and unfortunately I don't think I can be much help. I have tried messing with the registry settings for the video recorder: I'm fairly confident there's no registry setting for what format to record in. I also messed with settings for frame rate and resolution etc, but could never tell much difference. Then again, I didn't have a scientific way to determine if there were changes.
I think the registry place is HKCU/software/sony ericsson/camera or something.

However the value 2147483647 is too large for that field (hex or dec).
Anybody had luck with this?

Yeah, me too, i'm looking for a htc camera app in CAB format for my X1 ^^
Why don`t you do a search in the X1 Tread for "HTC camera" and look yourself first ?

I haven't contact them yet, but I think they want it make their ROMs become special ^^ That's why they don't release a stand alone cab up until now
[30.12.09] [GER] H.V Extendir (16.01.10-Package Update)
In this Rom-Tread is a download "Base packages". Is about ca. 131 MB great and in the folder multimedia you find the cab. I make this search for you.
Give me a link on a ROM.
I'll extract standalone CAB.

Hä, it`s here in the xperia rom dev, look yourself, I`m not your bimbo.
seems the tweak doesn't work
Hacked Version 352x288 --> 640x480
I've done some fixes in hex, so i've changed 352x288 to 640x480.
http://www.multiupload.com/BBJRFQSTC9
But seems all useless - all video is LQ.
I think that problem is in variable bitrate and framerate.
Also we have 5 (five) resolutions:
S 128x96 \ M 176x144 \ L 320x240 \ CIF 352x288 \ VGA 640x480
But in the same time we have 4 encoding related reg entries:
CodecSmall
CodecMedium
CodecLarge
CodecVGA
Unlocking tweak give us only new formats, not new resolutions.

All 'Energy' ROMs got HTC Camera cooked in. He uses HTC Camera v6.16 and I heard that there is newer version (v6.18) but only for chief. Don't know if any chief cooked it into their ROM. If you can create a stand alone English CAB then go ahead ^^ Hope to hear from you soon. I really love HTC Camera
Ah, and I'm using ur 1% battery decrease cab really cool and helpful!!
I downloaded camera from Extendir Package, but it is 6.6 version.
So give me a link to 6.16 or 6.18.

This file doens't work
Sorry but i don't know what's the difference between those version ^^!
I recorded a video at 720 res but when I play it in windows media player it does not look like high def? I uploaded the same video to youtube which gives me the option to play it at 720p. Does anyone know how to adjust this in windows media player?
ive also recorded some videos in 720 and they don't really look like 720 quality but they are still in 720 res... in your WMP what res does it say the video is playing in?
also i believe the dInc records videos in 3gp so I'm not sure WMP is even supposed to open them... have you tried opening the file with quicktime player? (free from apple.com)
I have noticed this also, with the first OTA I recorded a video at 720p with the encoding type set to H.264 and the video looked great. Now with the current leaked OTA (8-1-10) this is no longer a option as soon as I select H.264 as the encoding type I default to a res of WVGA 800x480 and not given the option to select 720p?
I have noticed that the video does say 1200x720 just the quality doe not look it. I also just tried opening the file in quicktime still looks the same.
best folder locking app.. and pc software to convert hd videos into any format for this phone..... for best quality video playback in O1..... ??? do anybody using some.....???
google "any video converter" or go to miksoft.net
use mediacoder
set as video - h264
audio - nero aac lc
picture resolution - 480 x 320
bitrate 1200
u will get hd quality..
I installed CM7 and got double image (red and blue) when playing some of mp4 videos. The video is normal if I play it on my PC. Here's the property shown by MPC:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 640x480 15.00fps [Output 1]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo 48kbps [Output 2]
I guess it is codec issue, but have no idea how to resolve it. Appreciate if you can help.
