Hi,
I've an idea for our Sgs.
I work for a little video-production company and i know that some cameras (for example Sony trv-800) have video output and not video input. Some hacker have studied firmware and hacked it and then have enabled video input. Now they can record video with the camera.
If it's possible to enable video input in the sgs will be a real revolution.
For example we can use it to watch or record from source like dvd player.
But the real revolution is for broadcasting.
You know that there are some sw in the market like ustream broadcaster, justin.tv broadcaster, qik video.,etc. But they work only with internal camera.
So I hope That with this mod we can broadcasting from external sources with sgs.
What do you think about it?
(Sorry for my english)

Hi all,
So, I'm trying to establish whether it is possible for the community to add DivX support. I see commits like these:
https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;h=69023cf85787ff454ce0549f532f9aecfad2ae29
https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;h=208bf6e29780fd15bfd0f6d6575a26ae78591378
that add at least the start of DivX support. But I haven't been able to get it to build, and even then, it's not clear to me if things like a DSP firmware image or something else (presumably proprietary) is required.
Any insights?
Edit: this was originally posted in the Development section, as it is a development question, but it has been moved to General. There is no question that many people would like Divx and other codec support. This thread was supposed to be specifically about getting Divx support in OpenMax/mm-video working.

Using a program from the market I was able to watch a 720 MKV on my nexus the picture was fine and sound was fine.
Only issue was video was delayed while sound went full speed, other then this it was awesome looking.

Re: DivX support
i don't know what app the other guy is thinking about, but you can find in the market "yxplayer" (trial) and with it you can play at least videos like avi etc etc kn your N1. i think it wilk be hard to find a full free app for that goal. if you find, post here the name please.

LG Snapdragon 2.1 handset touts DivX playback, I wonder if it's a software decoder that can be ported?
I have been searching for a new android phone that allows connection to the tv. i do not have dlna connection.
iv seen a video on youtube and heard rumours this is possible on this phone.
Has anyone tried this?? as i would like to find out before buying. :-D

I tried an old Nokia 3.5mm composite video/stereo lead and it worked well....ish, it's composite after all.
in what aspect? was the image shakey?
if it does not do it well i will get the iphone. thanks for replying btw :-D

Not shaky, just the usual 'poor' quality composite image, nothing wrong with the 'phone.
The aspect is based on how you use the phone. If you hold it vertically, it will have a weird portrait resolution.
If you hold it landscape, it looks perfect on a widescreen TV.
I'm going to have a full Galaxy S Review up hopefully tonight, I document the feature.
I'm using some old Nokia TV Out cables at home, composite picture quality, but works just fine (no jitters or anything).
Definitely a welcome feature for me!
Why do you need to use some old cables?
Isn't there one provided in the box?

Because it isn't the recommended external video output. Obviously with the SGS being a HD phone outputting to composite isn't exactly going to be the best way of demonstrating the video features, hence the preferred DLNA option.
How is the DLNA feature?
Have any of you tried the DLNA feature with say a PS3 or XBOX? how does it work? is it smooth?
I picked up a Molex micro hdmi cable and have tested it against my 20" 720p Sceptre, my 37" 1080P Sceptre, 43" 1080P Sceptre and several 1080P monitors at my place of work...all with same results.
Picture is pixellated, "choppy" and it seems phone can't keep up.
I am sending 720P videos created with phone (I set it to 720p) and can see that ALL the tvs receive as 720p signal...yet image quality is so poor it's borked.
All of these TVs were hdmi 1.3 I believe...is this solely an hdmi 1.4 issue?
Loving my Evo except hdmi is fubar. I have a few days left on eval and may return it if this feature is truly not appropriate for phone (due to cpu issue).
I am perfectly willing to wait for g'bread if this will make a difference.
What's the deal here?
Check it against a better TV. Those Scepters just don't use the same quality as say even a Visio, let alone a Sony or Samsung.
Worked wonderfully for my brother's 46" LG LCD
So... a Walmart TV with an HTC phone and you say the phone quality sucks? I'm confused jk bro. Haha
I have a Phillips 32' and the HDMI is horrible for me. I played a HQ Video of Everybody Hates Chris and it was so choppy and fuzzy I just disconnected it. I have a 6ft cable. Could the length have anything to do with it?
sceptre is the same quality as visio hate to break it to you. plays properly on my 32" samsung.

Picture quality is crap because your videos are encoded at a low bitrate so there gonna look pixilated.
When I recode my Blu Ray movies to x.264 720p with a high bitrate and play them back using HDMI to my Sony Bravia they look AMAZING.
You need to encode some quality videos. The built in camcorder or youtube aren't gonna do it justice.

Every post I've read has said to use 720p setting in camera. Are you saying phone camera can't natively produce video in form consumable by hdmi? I would never use youtube as reference...but not even native vids?

Actually they were purchased at CostCo several years ago and price compared to that of others sets for most part. I wasn't aware costCo sold crap brands...not my experience with them.
Odd that my blu-ray, cable box and other hi-def input sources play beautifully on my sceptres and only the HTC has issues. Sceptre's now the problem? Hmmm...
Time to run by Fry's and see what works and what doesn't.
To those who are getting a stunning picture via hdmi...are your sets hdmi 1.4 protocol?

What I'm saying is the videos you record using the phones camcorder are encoded at a low bitrate making them look like ****. HDMI output is only as good as the source quality.
I suggest you read this as well since you seem to think that HDMI revisions automatically mean improved video quality.
http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/faq.aspx#12
The problem isn't the Evo or your TV, it's your source material. The 720p from the camcorder is compressed so much that it doesn't look that good.
Encode a movie using a high bitrate (somewhere around 5000), and it'll look good. Just like mine do.
Dude, I was kidding. lol
What about streaming videos from something like mPlayer? Those also look like sh*t, as the OP mentioned. Is that a tv problem or is that a "bitrate" problem?
Thanks for the help all.
After installing handbrake to convert some trailers I am finally seeing a not-so-****ty picture. The whole re-encoding thing bites hard though. Who really has time to convert all their **** or even wants to do it selectively? I know I don't.
The fact that the device isn't capable of creating its own hdmi content is pretty bad and somewhat misleading: 720P on vidcam app during record....720P hdmi signal out per notification window...sounds like a match to me!
For all "practical" purposes the hdmi port is fubar.
#1 You don't get desktop 'experience' on hdmi out
#2 Feature doesn't come for "free", apps must be individually hdmi-enabled (yeah right)...so no TermSrvr or VNC
#3 Device can't create videos for clean hdmi playback (at least with native 720p vid recording app)
where are you guys getting your HDMI cables? last time I checked monoprice didn't stock them.

Agree. The hdmi out is wasted space on this phone. If it worked, this thing would be the hub of my media center! Especially with stuff like JetFlix streaming in crisp hi-def to the t.v. But, no. With the quality as-is, I don't see myself ever using it.
I suppose I could encode existing movies for playback, but why would I use my phone to store them? I'd just burn a dvd or bring a external hard drive. At that point, I'd just be using my phone to watch them on a plane or something, and you don't need an HDMI port for that.
But this isn't a dealbreaker for me. I still love the phone.
i know there are all kinds of apps that do this but can someone tell me one where i can get audio and video and it be in sync and not super delayed?
i would like the highest res video i can get with still getting 30fps
i can use usb cord to my pc that dont bother me.
i will use whatever method that needs to be done.
everything i tried so far = fail
im running latest nightly CM7
my home wifi router dont do wireless-n (only b/g)
anyhow i would really love to use the droid-x as a real webcam with video and AUDIO that is in sync and somewhere close to 30fps and not a 5 second delay
thanks
I looked for something maybe 6 months ago to make the DX a decent webcam, but I gave up. I found that the apps with audio support lagged too much, while the apps that played back smoothly had no audio support. Best bet, buy a better webcam for you computer.

we know the DX can record at 30fps at 720P in good lighting.
wonder why we cant get a good stream at 480P with audio in sync?
someone probably just hasnt figured out how to do it yet.
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.
