I didn't want to make a new thread for asking the same quistions everyone has been asking but it looks like everyone is escaping from answering the same simple quistion..
can anyone make a video at night with x1 and give a clear answer about the ability of shooting video in mp4 format ?
I don't really understand why everyone is ashame to answer this ?!
whenever you ask anyone he keeps saying i had no chance , i was busy , i use my own n95 for video ........etc
does it mean they are ashame to admit something they hate to say ?!
it's not a helpful way at all because many people needs to know if there is any bad point about the phone .
so please again someone who already had his x1 be kind and helpful and shoot a video at night to show how good or bad is the camera and upload it somewhere and give a CLEAR ANSWER if the phone can make video in mp4 or not
Pretty sure it only shoots 3GP video which is just an mp4 wrapper. Could be wrong, but I haven't seen any video samples that were uncompressed that weren't .3gp. There is also a video on xperiancer that shows some soccer game at night/low light. I think its compressed because of youtube though. You can look for uncompressed X1 video and find a few samples around the web.
what i know is 3gp is not the same quality as mp4 maybe iam wrong but i got confirmation now from another owner
the X1 can only save vedio as 3gp
Everyone should know that before buying the X1 .
sadly another bad point in the X1 , i wished it wasn't i really loved this device so much and waited it for long time, now all what i hear is just disappointing things .
I'm just curious and want to know if the hardware in the HD2 is capable of higher quality video recording
OK so I have been looking at other phones with a 5MP camera and they can record video higher than 640x480.
One example is the N900. It can record up to 848x480.
Another example, the Droid can record 720x480.
Thx
Why are you posting multiple threads asking the same question (i.e., the other thread here)? You think someone will magically say yes?
For Windows Mobile, it is unlikely you'll see anyone develop any improved drivers for higher resolution video camera recording.
If you're unhappy with this fact, sell the phone and buy the phone that comes with the resolution you want to record at if video recording is so important to you. Didn't you even do your homework prior to buying the HD2?
I only asked if the hardware is capable of a higher resolution.
The hardware.
Read before you answer, ty.

Do you really feel the HD2 video recoring its bad. I maybe used the recoring on my phone maybe 4 times in my entire life. The recording its above decent. There might be a hack for it but I doubt people actually dislike the quality of it
It's not so much a question of hardware as it is a question of software and drivers.

Well it could be a hardware issue too. most camera sensors have a still picture mode and a video mode. If the video mode is only designed to do 640x480 then that's all your gona get. Sure an app may be able to be written to capture video frame by frame in still pic mode, but can the camera take pics that fast? does the sensor module to motherboard link have the bandwidth to do 5mpixel at 30fps? i doubt it. im guessing that the link between the module and motherboard is either an I2C serial bus or maybe just standard USB, Though in video mode the camera module itself might be doing the mp4 encoding, taking that workload off the CPU, if you tried to capture frame by frame, then your going to have the CPU convert either the raw data or jpeg data from the module into a video format.
I firmware hack or mod for the camera module might be able to enable say 720p video output from the module, but i find it doubtful that anyone is going to get their hands on that firmware and we dont even know if it is "field programmable"
I haven't actually installed the ROM myself yet on my HD2 (kinda happy at the moment with MDJ's 2.3 Gingerbread NAND ROM for now), and I know that the DFT WP7 ROM now finally enables true 720p (1280x720) video recording.
Can someone do a test recording of that functionality and post the video sample someplace so I can see what kind of quality it offers? Just a 30 second clip would be great, perhaps something shot out of a window in daylight, whatever, doesn't matter. Just want to see how the quality and performance of the video appears.
Drop a link here from wherever, maybe post the clip to MegaUpload or something (not YouTube, please, as they might re-encode it to another format/settings). I'm looking for a native recorded clip on the HD2 using the DFT WP7 ROM at 720p settings, that's all.
Thanks...
I know you mentioned no youtube.. but i don't know other way.. and megaupload has an error when I tried it.. but just to give you an idea. here is youtube link for 720p with HD2..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5cv6bQ9FgA
Is it just me or is there a lot of noise interference in the background?
If you Zip or RAR the clip, MegaUpload or even MediaFire (faster) would accept it, but anything with the native .mp4 extension can be problematic as those sites try to treat the file as a streaming video.
I downloaded the YouTube one you posted, myowin, thanks. If anyone else has samples, go for it, I'm just trying to see what the HD2 is truly capable of so a variety of samples would be awesome to check out. This one posted above looks as expected - not "professional" level quality but then again we are talkin' about a smartphone with a tiny optical sensor in it.
It ain't perfect but at least finally we can do true 720p video recording on our HD2.
Always knew the hardware was capable...
As far as noise, the video itself looks as expected as I mentioned, and for audio noise, the mic is simply picking up whatever it can. It's pretty amazing when you do a recording in a room that you think is absolutely quiet and realize when you play the video back that there's a ton of background noise in it. Our subconscious minds filter out a lot of that background noise because it's always there, but when you listen to a recording, the brain knows it's not listening to the background noise anymore - instead, it's a recording of it and all that background crap just comes through loud and clear.

Guess you missed where I stated that, I can download direct from YouTube.
I tried mediafire and uploaded now.. here is the link..

I hope this help..
for the noises in background.. I am surprised how much HD2 can pick up.. I mean not only playback volume is loud... recording volume is also very sensitive and loud.. maybe it's a good thing..

Yah, it is, and thanks for the proper upload. The YouTube version was re-encoded as I suspected and chopped - it's only 6.32MB and they cut the average bitrate down to only 2795 Kbps whereas the original video you just uploaded to MediaFire is 7911 Kbps for the average bitrate and it looks better because of it (while remaining the original 17.7MB in size also).
So I'm guessing the "average" bitrate done on the HD2 with WP7 is about 8 Mbps 720p and that's more than acceptable.
removed.

I think he's just a heavy breather lol
at first, I was gonna say there's no 720p when I noticed my vids are all 480p
and after reading more topics, I found out that I must use English (US) not UK to enable 720p =.=
I thought WP7 camera is no better than iphone camera at first, but the features are actually hidden in US English versions...
I don't get it why they hide it there....
Btw, 720p is now 100% working and quality is brilliant!!!
Any hackers gonna port it to Android??
But 480p got a faster framerate than 720p

Interesting, still, pressing settings only seems to bring me flash options, photo or video, am I missing something??
How can i enable the 720p on Wp7? I just press "green" button on the phone and it beigns to record at 640x480... in the options not found anynthing about the resolution.
Thanks!!!

Hi, i have a questin about 720p playback right on the phone.
i cant playback the recorded files in 720p on the phone.
it will only play files in lower resolution.
is this normal ?
I wondered why it only records with low settings xD It's a little bit tricky but ok ^^
No, that isn't beacuse of him. A couple of days ago I tried capturing a 720p video at work...After that I noticed that there was a much more louder than this guy's noise in the background and figured it out why...I was about 1meter from a PC and the noise was coming from it's fans. I don't know if this is good or bad but 720p for real ! )
°
aaam is it possible to play the recorded 720p files on the phone ?
i have a black screen and only here sound when i try to playback 720p recorded video.
I just made a video, though I don't have that noise in the background.

720p videos play fine here
Hi i'm new to developing and modding but a long time user of android. I've looked absolutly EVERYWHERE on this site for a camera mod for ICS 4.0.4 (ROM tiger 2.4) (KERNEL devil3_0.74). I have seen it for GB and FY but none for ICS why is this? so i would like to ask the great people of this forum to point me in the right direction if possible? i'm unsure if this is the right thread? if it's not please tell me where to repost it, any help is muchly appreciated.
So what i'm looking for is a camera hack that will increase video bitrate from 10mbps to 20-24mbsp (if possible, i'm sure it is as hardware is more than capable?) and recording audio in videos from 64kbps to 192kbps (more if possible but i know for sure that 192kbps is an easy accomplishment (sorry for spelling) for this hardware)
as i said ANY help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Haven't heard of any video mods yet, but for audio I can point you towards voodo sound (e.g. in semaphore kernel). Don't think you can change the bitrate, but you can configure the audio chip to oversample the input signal and also the microphone gain.
Just report back if you found something regarding video
There is a thread in android development called "hack i9000 camera i9000 FROYO &GB" check it out you'll understand. I've been working on making and moddifying my own source but its harder than I thought. I know its possible to change samplerate on the camera directly from 16000 to 44100 and the bitrate from 64kbps too 192kbps, and the video quality should be able to 17-24 mbps bitrate as the hardware can decode and encode 1080p so there is no limit at what we can achieve in 720p quality (I've done my reasearch). But I'm only a begginer (noob) at modifying files and development ATM. If anyone could move this to the DEV section I would be very greatfull. Cheers for the reply =D.

tried it, but audio same as default camera, even after setting it to higher quality!
When I had Xperia X8, I change video and sound bitrate by editing media_profiles.xml
I've tried that also - same result, default low quality audio.

Hey, look at this video and please tell me what values I can safely manipulate and how to set higher bitrates and maybe 24fps for 1080.
Thank you
In case you need this.

Very interesting. I have no idea about how to do it, but I will follow the thread just incase someone does.

Ok, since CWM is working now I thought to boldly go where I've never been before. I edited the file to my likings. 1080p, 720p and 4K look much better now. I noticed that the video filters don't render that smooth anymore, but I don't use them anyway. And slow - motion doesn't look better. Still awful.
