[Q] Camera video recording only in 3gp?

We have a lot of size options when recording but I only see option to record in 3gp format? Or am I missing something?
Edit: Plus the PDF from T-Mobile does not have an HD option listed on there...

Hey I up this one,
i'm also wondering if it is possible to record in some other format than 3gp, like they can on the DHD for instance.
Reading 3gp is a pain, i can't plug my phone to my TV to watch a video I recorded, and it's hardly watchable on a random computer without installing an other player.

Nope, that's the only format that the camera is capable of recording to on official ROMs. Not sure about custom ROMs though. I wish I could record in WMV, AVI or MP4.

Virtuous unity is mp4 720p max.
Apparently virtuous doubleshot is mp4 1080p for the Z. No lag if you OC @ 1.7-2.0 ghz!

Eww that much OC is not necessary for me, neither I need to record 1080p.
But that's a good news !
I will switch to Unity then thanks !

Be careful here, apparently, of what a member told me, its a 1080p upscaling method. The hardware is the limitation.

Yup, it is a hardware limitation. The sensor just can't record 1080p.

It's ok, I'm currently using Virtuous Unity, and it records in 720P .mp4.
The mp4 part was the most important for me, as I can now plug and watch on my tv.

I just realized that the ROM I'm running on, meXdroidRom actually records in MP4! In the m4v container~

Video Encoding

What would the best application and settings be to encode a movie for playback on the Nexus S?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I use DVDfab for my ripping and encoding needs for any device

What resolution/codec etc.. I'd like to convert to a file that will look good and play well with the default supported codecs.
Doesn't Gingerbread support a couple new codecs?

720p playback lagging

Recording in hd/high resolution is okay, but the 720p playback is superlaggy. Does anybody know how to fix this?

what? you can record in HD resolution? 720p? mine's only working with camcorder preset set to High.
720p playback not tested yet, if you want maybe you can share a little sample-movie to some file hoster (multiupload.com) maybe then more people are likly to test. by the way what bitrate for video and sound you had in your 720p file? codec and file extension?

What is the best file type for video conversion???

I have been reading a lot over the best file type for this phone, which is said to be .mp4 but when I convert my movies to .mp4 in play back it's cut off, meaning I doesn't use the fullscreen even after stretching it, but when I use .avi it fits in perfectly the problem with .avi ia that out makes the file sizes to big and some movies I can not transfer. I have tried a lot of different things just wondering if anybody has solved the problem.

You have to properly encode the video here is detail explanation with HD profile of what your mpeg4 video output should look like in *.mp4 format. You don't need to convert it with any other A/V codec as mpeg4 containers is sufficient if done correctly. I always encode my videos for mobile device before I transfer it thats another reason it looks good.
Codec: X264 2 Pass
Resolution: 800x480
Bitrate: 128kbps
Crop: 5:3 (1.667)

I will try. What video conversion software do you use?
I don't get the option to change the crop with the 2 that I use

Check your PM, info sent.

Thanks!!
Thanks a lot man! I gave credit where its due, i'm converting now.

Enjoy buddy lol this saved my life as you watch video in HD with no audio or video out of sync. The quality of the video is only subjected to the orginal input of the file. Most folks IRL always ask me how come they can't make videos like that lol thats another reason I win the brag war saying my phone is smarter than your phone.

Dude this program is awesome our even inserted subtitles for me.

Why convert, just install MX Player. It is free and plays anything. The bonus is you do not need different versions (original and coverted copy on your PC)

It's iStudio 6 and has an android converter. I haven't used it, I just happened to see a post about it somewhere and decided to give it a shot.

Because no matter what framerate will suffer. And it is much more battery friendly to use GPU render in then software.
