Quality of camera for trinity is quite good but I don't like the 15 fps movies.
So I went to
HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/Recparam/MP4Large/Framerate
and changed the value from 15 to 30.
I get fluid movies but bitrate stays the same and picture quality is going down.
so I tried to change the BitRate value (384000 by default) but there is no effect. You can put whatever you want, the compression is controlled somewhere else.
Is there a way to increase this bitrate? I don't mind if movies get big as long as quality is improved.
Can you tell mi what is the maximum available video recording resolutin with Trinity and what frame rate?
maximum recording resolution is 352*288 (mode CIF).
In fact I checked that if you change the value:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/Recparam/MP4Large/
"Bitrate"=384000
Then whatever value you put the resulting file will be encoded with a default value of 192000.
Nobody has a clue of how the real bitrate is defined for the encoder???
192000 is the value for MP4medium and MP4small profiles.
Isn't it strange?
It's like if you change the value for MP4Large it falls back on MP4medium bitrate value...
Are you sure that trinity actualy record video in 30fps after registry hack? To bad bitrate can't be changed, is mp4 only available format for recording?
I tried it too, indeed de 30 fps tweak works, but bitrate is terrible.
I hope anyone got an idea how to fix this thing.

Did you try a slower frame rate, like 25 fps? It is still a pretty good speed.

I'm wondering how powerful that ATi chip in the Trinity is. If it can handle 30fps with a higher bitrate... let's see if we can squeeze the most of it!

From what I've read, the ATi video chip is not being fully utilized by the ROM, maybe when we get an upgrade that will change.

Not much is being utilized by the current ROM is there? I mean, it's seriously disappointing that HTC decided to release the Trinity with so many features disabled or toned down.

Agreed that most of the build-in features were disabled or not turned up fully, GPS, USB-Host and now Ati Chips. How HTC can release a "Full features" ROM soon.
Just wondering if anyone's who flashed their Trinity with one of the latest test ROMs noticed any changes to the video performance.
Anybody solve this problem?
also want to im prove videobitrate...
any clues?!
push need help
how to increase videobitrate
1. total amount of memory must be constant (I think)
2. more fps less bitrate
3. decrease fps and increase the bitrate
Hi, Iam going through the motions of thinking about upgrading my Touch HD again, at present it is pretty much coming down to video playback.
I would be grateful if someone could download this and see how it runs on the HD2 using coreplayer, it currently pretty much wont run at all on my HD.
Thanks
http://download.bethsoft.com/trailers/fallout3/MothershipZeta-x264-6500-HD.mp4
i never was able to get coreplayer to work on my hd2, but i will say the built-in video player plays my ripped dvd mp4 files very well, with such fluidity that i dont need or want coreplayer. the only problem with the native player is the video & audio are often not perfectly synchronized, but its never bad, just barely noticeable.
i downloaded your test mp4 file, but the native player wont show the video, only the audio
all in all, the hd2 is lightyears ahead of the hd in performance. i use duttys latest 6.5.x rom, ver 23544, and with chainfires video driver, everything is perfectly fluid qnd quick. i tried a 23542 rom on my old hd and together with manila 2.5, its just too much, and brings the poor hd to its knees, and it crawls very slowly
hope this helps... if you live in the usa, get a telstra 3g model. you wont be disappointed!
It struggles a lot in TCPMP (shows possibly one frame a second) and doesn't play in Album at all.
hmm, this is not good at all, I expected no problems at all, it could be the codec though, i dont want to re-encode everthing like you have to do in the touch HD so its looks like the HD2 isnt such a good buy after all - for video anyway.
its proably the high bitrate causing the issue

Yeah, I'd like to see a mobile device properly decode 6.4mbp/s + audio!
video is as below, the res is pretty much perfect for the HD2, low bit rate as well, this should fly being an MP4? - it is x264 though...
input bit rate 704 kb/sec
codec AVc1
48000 stereo
res 864x460
frame rate 29.9700
Plays perfectly on my 3gs. Absolutely smooth with zero frame drop.
But then who wants a toy, right? ;-)
With all due respect, while I completely understand why you would want to play back high definition video clips on a phone, it's simply not going to happen; particularly not on a phone manufactured by HTC, who have a long history of shipping phones which lack adequate hardware-acceleration for video playback. It's possible you might get adequate performance from either an Acer NeoTouch or a Toshiba TG01 - the latter (and I think also the former, though I'm not certain) ships with a hardware-accelerated version of CorePlayer which is very good; but I wouldn't be at all sure even with them.
A sensible resolution and bit-rate would be 800x480 (i.e. the resolution of the screen) and a bit-rate of 2000kb/s variable, with CABAC enabled. (See, for example, the videos attached to this post, which look very good indeed on the HD2). You will not lose any playback quality re-encoding like this, though of course there is the inconvenience of transcoding.

Nope. Just have to click on the link. That brings up a screen that asked me if I want to play it direct or to download it first. In either way, it plays smoothly.
Of course it is impossible for a toy to be so good, right?
I've read articles in which the authors used an iPhone 3GS to play back 1080p video with a bit-rate of 30Mb/s - this isn't exactly stable, but it does play. 720p video would be very easy.

Why not just go to a Telco or apple store to try it out yourselves? There're just too much false information about what an iPhone can or cannot do around. Lots of it on this forum.
Don't know about what you have read, but mine plays THIS video smoothly. If you click on the link and let it stream, then you may need to wait for enough of the 80+ mb to be downloaded before the player starts. If your phone is JB you have the additional option of downloading it first before playing. Video picture is sharp, completely free if pauses, jitter, or frame drops, and sound completely in sync.
Cheers.
Edit: Thought I might as well video record how well it plays for your guys.

Sorry about the quality of the recording as I was using an old camera to do the recording rather than a proper video recorder, but still you will be able to see how smoothly it plays. Please blame my camera, not my iPhone for the poor video resolution. ;-)

Hi, that doesnt really prove anything, you could have converted it to a lower bit to play though itunes, plus the iphone screen res is half that of he HD2.
However, who would actually bother going to those lengths to fake this?
hmmm....
Honestly, even if the Iphone could play it smoothly, does it matter here? This IS the HD2 forums, isn't it? Nothing against it, but it is getting a bit tiresome to hear about it everywhere.
Soon after I got my Evo I made a video recording on my way into my apartment. One of my neighbors cats was being very frisky in the window, it cracked me up so I made a recording. I think it may have been my first video recording.
I had it set to 640x480, mpeg4. This video is 29~30FPS and is as smooth as can be. There is lots of motion in the video and no flicker or choppiness whatsoever. After watching this video I was very pleased with the video performance.
I have not been able to make another video that comes in at much higher than ~10fps since then.
I did install Fresh 0.2. I've been figuring it must be a bug in that, but I've tried since tried Bugless Beast, Superersonic, rolled back to stock and God knows how many other roms trying to get this smooth video back. I can't get decent fps at ANY resolution.
I don't even particularly care for video functionality, but after seeing that this phone CAN do very impressively smooth video I was eager to use it for that. Needless to say I can't figure out how I did it or what I did to alter the performance.
What gives?
.-*boop*-.
I recorded a 720 video and it came out at 12 FPS!!! yikes.. not sure if thats normal or not?
I'm running Fresh 0.3, made a 10 minute 720P video of my dogs and it was able to capture at 24fps. My videos have been very good no matter which ROM I'm using.

Lighting can make a HUGE difference. In low light the Nexus (and probably Evo & other HTC Android's) have their lowest framerate set at 8fps in the kernel. Try shooting another video in the same location & conditions and see if you get similar speeds.

This probably explains my 12 fps as it was an indoor movie.
Thanks for the info.
Why is this not available on the newest version of nexus line?
If you pick a other app, is then possible to record 1080p 60fps?

Technically speaking the Snapdragon is capable of processing 1080 @ 120 FPS, however there may be either a hardware limit on the sub-processor of camera (haven't even looked if there was one). As far as I can see from the kernel source posted on AOSP there is a high media profile for [email protected] fps and [email protected], Theoretically you might be able to just create another entry in the profile to enable it.

I'm very very interested to this discussion! The last nexus 6 was 100% capable of recording fullhd videos @60fps but Google disable that function and nobody know why, I was absolutely sure that in this nexus 6p that record mode would be present! There are no reason why it should be disabled, who cares if I can record a bird at 240fps (in slow motion), how many times somebody use this functions? One in a month?
How many instead make some (normal) videos? Maybe two/three times a week or even more and recording @ 60fps instead of 30fps is like day and night! Damn Google.
Why would you ever want to record 1080p videos @ 60fps? You would never be able to tell the difference from from 30fps. The human eye can only see about 42-45 fps. If you shoot a video at 60fps it is actually going to look unnatural. Most that shoot 60fps do so only because they intend to slow it down to 30fps in post production.
30fps is the standard and it is rare to shoot video at higher frame rates. In fact, shooting at 60fps would reduce your shutter speed requiring more light to get a quality video.

Because 60fps looks a lot better - obviously.
I don't know how you, or anybody can even come close to thinking the 30 frames per second is OK when you have the option of 120 and 240.
Have you never seen a YT video with 60fps!? Yeah... You're blind if you can't see the difference. It makes no sense for Google to have those very high frame rate options but still not have 60 frames per second at 1080p.
Also, no, you are wrong about people slowing down 60 frames per second video. You would slow down 120 or 240, yes, but nobody in their right mind would use 60 frames per second down to 30 in today's world. You would just use the 60 frames per second video because it looks a lot smoother.

I can definitely say that I can see it. Between 30fps and 60fps. Soooo much smoother and crisp. If you look a sample on youtube. You only want 60 fps.

The human eye does not "view" at around 2000fps, it doesn't actually see in any fps while viewing the natural world. The human eye sees things live, as in ~fps. Those of us with good eyesight can definitely see the screen refresh on lower rates like 60fps. My TV is 1080p hd @ 50hz (which is not fps) & its gotten so painful to watch it, that I am considering a new TV. When you watch a 60fps video on a 50hz TV, the refresh rate & the frames of the video don't coincide & make the experience jumpy. 30fps looks better because the fps is slower than the refresh rate.
On our 2k phone screens however 30fps looks jumpy because the resolution is higher & our eyes are trying to view it in the same manner as we view the natural world.

I actually studied photography and film extensively in college as it was my major. It is true that 30fps is standard and 60fps would look awkward. There are some human eyes that notice changes up to 200fps but those are basically jet pilots, the exception not the rule. No human eye would be able to notice 2,000 fps. That is not possible. Lastly, set your camera to 240 fps and see how everything gets darker. That isn't a lie. It is a fact that high frame rates will result in darker, noiser videos because they require more light.
60 fps is not a good speed to shoot at. Especially in a sensor without IS. You will get more jitter in your video. I produce video for a living, as In it is my job and I do it daily. You dont EVER record in 60 fps unless you are capturing very fast action or are intending to slow it down. And when you record in 60 FPS, you always export it at 30 fps or 25 fps from Premier pro of Final cut, whatever you use.
All I know is that on my Note 4, I only record at 60fps 1080p and wow does it ever look better then anything I've ever recorded in 30fps.
Delete.
Photography and videography are not the same.
60fps is better than 30fps for any and all reason regardless of whatever you think you know - nobody agrees with you if they've seen 60fps video. It's day and night, and if you read anything from YT users, gamers, normal humans, they all say 60fps is better - in any scenario.
Back on point, however, still mind blown that this wasn't included with the camera.
I use Premier Pro and After Effects, and 60fps is my only export option - I wouldn't even consider lower unless it was SHOT lower, but never is. Look at my YT page. Nothing under 60fps once I had my hands on a camera capable of 60fps. I practice what I preach.
I would NEVER shoot 60 fps video with an intention to slow it down, that's stupid - that's what 120/240fps are for - those are to be slowed down.
60 fps is for normal viewing speed - anything higher is OK to slow down, but 60 down to 30 - no thanks. That's just a waste of good 60fps footage.

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not , but I can tell you 100% that a human eye can see beyond whatever you have stated. I game on a 144hz monitor , and yes I could tell and feel the difference between 30/60/144.
Back on topic , I found it very weird already when the Galaxy s6/note 5 with the fast processor not being able to record in 240fps . Also , I've noticed slow motion inconsistencies regarding the 6p's 240fps , some youtube videos look buttery smooth , some looks like some slideshow. No idea what's causing this , any thoughts?

Don't assume what others would find awkward. Guessing a lot like it since Google allows those to see it on Youtube. Even besides that, you say you can't see it or its "awkward". Okay. Me and plenty of others like it and can see the difference. Videos are not dark looking when I record ALL my videos with my iPhone.
Sad to see Google didn't include this with this latest Nexus device.

Whats the 4K recording bitrate and hows it compared to other phones . Also, is there a 5 min limit like on my note4?
--Thx
I did a quick test and got 90MB for 15 seconds, around 6MB/s.
But, I wasn't sure if there was some way to stress the bitrate of the codec - bright scenes? dark scenes? high contrast? If anyone has any insight into which are the hardest scenes to compress I can repeat the experiment.
Or, is the codec somehow a constant rate codec (as in fixed rate MP3 vs variable rate)?
how about the time limit? how long can you record 4K?
I think 6/MB is average. I heard of people that root note 4 able to up the bitrate. Even if it is the same it still might look better then other phones with the same bitrate due to the lens and so forth. I think the main issue is going to be with the stabilization. OIS helps but I guess you can run it through adobe or some other program to get software to add to that. I wonder if I record in 1440 if the software will work for that.
