Hi, I am very curious about the new iPhone's ability to record video at VGA 30fps having only a 3.0 MP camera onboard. If that is possible for iPhone 3G S, would that not also be possible for HTC Dream? Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? I always thought that VGA recording is only possible for phones with 5MP quality or something.
Would appreciate if someone can explain to me this part of Video Recording. Thank you!
The mega pixels really doesn't have anything to do with the frames p/s recording rate. While something of a better quality can be achieved at 30 p/s I would not think it too essential for a phone and 24 is more than adequate. If one is trying to shoot a movie, then I would imagine that a video cam would be a little better I think it is really just hype... ooooh my iPhone can record at 30 frames p/s ... trust me it's not a big deal really.
Not used to making video's as all my previous phones
Universal,Hermes,TytnII,Raphael,Touch HD didn't make them too well.
So just tried out making video's while driving (as a passenger) and
they look stunningly good. There's lot's of sun/cloud changes
and it picks up beautifully.
Frame rate is above 20FPS average in MPEG 640x480. Nice.
EDIT : from comments below I see most people expect more. For once I'm on the satisfied side
What .. it too can't play 640x480 flawlessly ? I saw some benchmarks which played such videos at 200%.

Did you read his comment???? where does it say it cant play 640x480
A sample recording would be nice
Smooth playback is 24 fps and beyond. if it's between 20-24, it sucks.
It's the recording rate in 640x480 not the playback speed.
It will almost always keep the 23.99 frames per second while recording
So I meant to say, it's a great video recorder.
I think the title of this thread is a little bit naive!
C'mon 640 x 480 has been on most high end phones now since 2006!
We now have alot of phones with 640 x 480, a fair few with 720 x 480 (D1?) and one or two with 720p recording.
The hardware in this phone is capable of 720p as is that of the Palm Pre, Iphone 3GS and probably others too.
So, in summary - I dont see 640 x 480 as amazingly good at all!
On the topic, do any devs think it would be possible to up the recording to it's 720p capabilities?
See above. I accidently posted twice.

Qualcomm advertises Snapdragon (rather over-optimistically in my opinion) as being capable of 720p video playback - where do they say it's capable of 720p capture?
My bad !
I did not notice he talks about RECORDING, I thought he talks about playback.

So video quality is "surprisingly mediocre", then. Is there any non-HTC smartphone in the world that can't manage at least 30fps at VGA resolution? The Samsung i8910HD can almost manage 24fps at a resolution of 1280x720. If the HD2 could better that, then maybe you could describe it as "amazingly good".
The Snapdragon probably should be able to record in 720P from a hardware point of view. My currrent phone, the i8910, records in 720P at around 22-24fps, and its only packing a 600mhz Cortex 8 CPU.
So i went to the registry and messed with some values a bit. I set the bitrate much higher than the default. It would still capture video @ about 25 fps. Can't really tell the difference in quality, but the filesize has increased by a 100%. I'll try to see if there are more reg settings to mess around.

There's a lot more to it than CPU power, I think - it's a bandwidth issue rather than MIPS. I wouldn't be surprised if Windows Mobile imposes some limitations too.
Is there a custom ROM or even a simple app possible that can capture 720P video at LEAST 25fps for the Evo? I have yet to be able to capture anything better than 22fps. It's unacceptable. Also the audio quality is TERRIBLE. 8Khz? Seriously HTC?

HTC Phones are good but the camera is very poor. If it was recording at 25fps it would still suck... Droid X does 720p recording very well like a mini camcorder. I have HTC Desire..
I managed to get around 30fps..
Audio still poor though
But here's how you do, go to Camera(not video, photo!), change ISO -> 800 (not Auto), then -> Video recording, and it should be more stabile and higher fps.
Regards.
I'm sorry for my English, I ask you a question.
Many pda like Samsung and the iPhone record video with a quality incredible.
We all know that our HD2 hasn't a powerful camera, has few fps etc.. I therefore believe it is logical to work to increase the fps even when using a resolution of 800 * 480.
If you could record in 720p, it would be nice, but if camera had a lot of fps.
What do you think? and is it possible can increase the fps while recording a video?
thks!

Wrong forum. Use the Q&A forum.
Hi!
I have a question.
I have a galaxy s4 i9505 and want record in slow motion 720p but the quality its very poor.
In other case, the Moto x first generation have only dual core, but can record on 720p slowmotion 60fps.
Why S4 with more performance and hardware cannot record in 720p?. Anyone can explain me that??, its possible change the resolution to 720p?
Thanks you!!
It has nothing to do with the CPU nor how many cores it has, it has to do with the camera sensor, i don't think the S4 was ever advertised to be able to record in slow motion.
Then, if sensor feature, but if can record on 60, 120, 240, why cannot record in 720p 60fps at least like moto x sensor.
It possible modify the software to record on 720p??
Thanks you!
