Video Quality - Touch HD General

Hi All,
Is there a certain setting I'm missing for good video/audio quality? The video i get is pretty grainy and choppy and the audio is kind of garbled. I know it's not a video camera but you should be able to get something half way decent. Right now I'm using Mpeg setting but i don't see anywhere where you can choose audio recording setting.
Thanks,
Ho'okani

[Idea/Request] Camcorder

My programming skills are far to minimal to take on a project like this. The app idea is pretty basic: A camcorder application which allows you to specify audio quality.
I would like a camcorder app which would utilize the features of the app "HiFiCorder." HiFiCorder allows you to record high bitrate audio up to 320k. I believe the current camcorder apps record audio at around 8-12k.
Every camcorder app I've tried has had pathetic audio quality. This makes taking video on your phone pointless. I believe there would be a huge market for an app with awesome video AS WELL AS audio quality.
Thanks,
Wiskid
Try Bambuser - it allows you to change resolution/audio quality - I own crappy VF 845 with fixed focus 2mpix camera/320x240 video and it does 800x480 video, with better audio quality.
The only thing with this is following: it works like qik, it streams it live to their website, you can later download FLV with your video, they have direct link to video in the dashboard.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. I know someone had once suggested Justin.TV as well, but I didn't really like the idea of having to stream, then download. I guess if it's the only way to get decent audio, I'll give it a go...

Terrible Video quality

so, i just synced a movie to my Focus. It took quite a while, because it had to convert the video, which was high quality to begin with. However, no that it's been converted and i'm watching it on my phone it looks terrible. It's like watching youtube and not youtube in HD. My Tilt 2 had better video quality than this.
Has anyone successfully synced a movie to their phone without it being reduced to trash?
Up until now, i've been able to tolerate the small issues, but if this is the bottom line when it comes to video quality, ATT can have the phone back.
That's because the zune software doesn't do as good a job of encoding video as a manual encoder like Handbrake would do..
Try converting with Handbrake (http://www.handbrake.fr)
and entering the following into the "Advanced" section.. on the bottom of the window and hit enter.
ref=5:bframes=0:me=umh:subq=9:mixed-refs=1:8x8dct=0:analyse=all:cabac=0
These are settings that the Zune HD would take and play without the software re-encoding.. so maybe WP7 will be similar in that regard.
thanks! I hope it works!
poor video quality regarding youtube...if you watch youtube with a wifi connection the picture is ok to watch in comparision to watching youtube on 3g...for some reason the phone uses a low quality for playing youtube and other videos over 3g...hopefully someone makes a tweaking program or a work around because my att fuze played gorgeous video over any connection
I used handbrake to convert a couple dvd's and they look great on the device. They were actually video's I dd for my Captivate but they lok great on the Focus as well.

Video quality

I've noticed when playing video that lines/edges get really jagged and look aliased.
My videos are all native resolution (1024x600) and look fine when played with software decoders (like MX Video Player SW mode) but stutter and/or waste battery when using SW.
I was wondering if anyone has found a way to tweak the hardware decoder so that it produces correct output (not aliased or oversharpened or whatever it's doing here). Any ideas? GL tweak? Maybe some config files in /system or something?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm rather shocked at the video quality, and really want to love my KF, but coming from iPad land, I'm very disappointed by the jagginess of sharp edges in video playback (most noticeable on sharp edges/curves/text in videos).

[Q] streaming video quality

I notice a considerable difference in quality of video (resolution-wise) when streaming video from hulu plus or watchespn. It seems to be stuck at like 360/480....basically sub 720p. Is there a setting I'm missing or do these apps just use a different video code or something? The reason I ask is because youtube videos look amazing so I know it's not my connection. It would be disappointing to know such a great screen is going to waste....but I would still like to know so please someone tell me what's going on.

Video lag issue

I have an issue that I can't seem to find an answer for. I've tried searching google, but I can't seem to find anything that is similar to my problem.
I want to use the camera on my phone to record myself playing guitar. I recorded a quick video while using my PC to record audio at the same time. When I imported the video into my editor and synced up the video with the original song and my audio recording they were out of sync with the video by half way through.
It's like the video I'm recording is lagging as it records and stretching the time out longer than what I actually recorded. Is there any solution to this problem? Has anyone experienced this before?
