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,

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...

Has any one else experienced extremely poor audio quality with the HTC Streaming Media program on the Touch Dual? (Viewing vides from m.youtube.com)?
Using the HTC Streaming Media player on my Treo 750 the quality was decent but on the Touch Dual it is so poor that it is essentially not usable and I'm hoping that somebody knows 1) why and 2) how to fix it.
I've searched the forums and found plenty of information referencing watching YouTube on the phone but nothing that hits on my problem.
Thanks,
Bob
hi
try the diamond streaming player it has also bad quality but it feels like its better u can find it in the hack and dev section in the diamond apps thread
editr use the youtube player, it s slower at streaming but it has same video/audio quality as on pc! you can also find on this forum
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I did try one of the YouTube players but for whatever reason it could never find any Videos (I didn't put alot of effort into figuring out why.)
Still would like to know why the audio quality with the default streaming player is so poor . . .
hi,
im currently using coreplayer 1.2.4 for youtube. the simply BEST player!!! i could send you cab if you want, you can set streaming options for high, medium and low quality. high works nice and smooth here! htc streaming player is worse quality because its streaming over RTSP. but coreplayer can also stream over h264, which has waayyyyy better quality
can someone recoomend a good multi-format video player ...
everything seems to run slow in the ones i have and im not sure if its the video player thats slow, or just a side effect of a bloated WM6 rom.
thanks 4 help
The Core Pocket Media Player is a good choice. Plays DivX as well as other media files at a pretty good quality.

Yes, yes, and yes. Use TCPMP. Think about paring down your ROM, too.
The video still plays very slowly - about 10fps - would it be faster on a wm5 ?
I don't think WM5 will be any faster. The playback speed depends mostly on the format, size and quality of your video. In most cases you'll need to reencode your videos to 320x<something>.
I use this program for it:
http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/
Easy setup, rather fast encoding. I usually use PDA setting, video quality 9-12, audio quality 4-5, 2-pass encoding (longer process but better quality), VHQ, no audio normalization and the rest at default setting (including orientation).
Also make sure that you have the video driver in TCPMP set to "raw framefuffer" (it's in options/video)

I use SUPER to achieve the same ends, but the advice is still good. Download directly...here. This link is hard to find for some people.
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,

Hey guys i wanna ask someone who have a xperia x2 how is video playback quality cause i have put many videos with many file type MP4 WMV and the playback was rubbish the picture isn't clear.
even though the phone is said to support HD video playback but when i play a 360p video it isn't clear.
another thing about the youtube app videos are the same not clear just like am watching a very bad video.
some one can help???
What are you using to play them back ... the built-in player?
I was not happy with it -- skipped alot and soethimes just stopped and needed to reboot ... I now use Corel player -- and that seems to work well ...
i used Media player and the slideview player. the videos did not work on core player only audio played.
as for youtube app is there anything i can do the resolution is very bad can you help?
and thank you any way.
Did you look at the settings for CorePlayer that are listed in XDA? when I first loaded it, it also did not play the video ... They are under tools, settings, then select the video page --- I have mine set to GDI video output, High video quality, Only for 50% smooth zoom, and the Dither box checked.
I think those are the only changed that I made from the default settings, but is was awhile ago, so I am not 100% sure ...
I don't use youtube, so I can't help there ... but there is a new app listed with Omarket that is supposed to provide smooth video -- but I have not tried it ...
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of an android video player app that can handle video's shot at higher than normal frame rates? I just got a gopro, but all the video's filmed above 30fps struggle to play back. I usually use 1440p 48fps, as this gives nice smooth playback and the biggest field of view when i'm skiing. i understand that stuff like this is better off being edited on a pc to get any sort of decent results.....but i'd just like to be able to have a little look at the vids straight from the memory card before i get home too.
so far i've tried vlc, which just becomes a garbled mess, the stock video app which detects it as a sound only file, and mx player which plays back the video in slow motion and plays back the sound in sections (i.e. it will play sound at correct speed, but keep stopping while it waits for the video to sync up). so mx is the best so far, but is there an payer that can actually understand the higher frame rate and play it back at that rate too?
Try the latest vlc nightly. Go into settings and try it with and without hardware acceleration

Have you tried Dice Player?

thanks for the suggestions guys. unfortunately i still have no luck with these players, no matter what settings i used. think i'll have to get used to doing lots of editing first ha ha.
