best video recording format??

hi im using a tweak app that opens up more video recording formats i have
h.263
3gpp2
mpeg4
motion JPEG
H.264
anyone know which is best to use

I selected motion JPEG and I can record just 1 hour (640x320), with other codec I can record more 5 hours. I think that motion JPEG is better.
Sorry for my english

Youtube and video format problem (HELP).

I recorded a movie with hd2 in mpg4 format.
And i wanted to put in on youtube, but there is a problem.
Movie recording in 60fps which makes a problem on YT uploading.
Tried to convert it to other format but most converting software speed up movie (possibly dropping frames as need to be a 25fps)
Any way to change FPS in registry for this format? Or change some option to record in 25FPS but still in mpeg4 format??

only i have hd2 in this forum?

last bump
have mercy

thanx for help

How did you get it to record 60fps?
I don't have that option on mine.

i belive its an auto option without setting switch.
If you check it with some editing software i says 60fps.
Youtube dont let u upload that format.
And thats why im lookin for a registry hack.

Sounds more like you have a corrupt file than an issue with settings as it isn't automatic. Mine is standard and reports between 13 and 29.99 frames a second...

Corruption is not possible, all my videos are recorded in this format

720 Video Recording

I recorded a video at 720 res but when I play it in windows media player it does not look like high def? I uploaded the same video to youtube which gives me the option to play it at 720p. Does anyone know how to adjust this in windows media player?

ive also recorded some videos in 720 and they don't really look like 720 quality but they are still in 720 res... in your WMP what res does it say the video is playing in?
also i believe the dInc records videos in 3gp so I'm not sure WMP is even supposed to open them... have you tried opening the file with quicktime player? (free from apple.com)

I have noticed this also, with the first OTA I recorded a video at 720p with the encoding type set to H.264 and the video looked great. Now with the current leaked OTA (8-1-10) this is no longer a option as soon as I select H.264 as the encoding type I default to a res of WVGA 800x480 and not given the option to select 720p?

I have noticed that the video does say 1200x720 just the quality doe not look it. I also just tried opening the file in quicktime still looks the same.

Can't play the movies recorded in h.264 mode

Hi, I've recorded few clips in H.264 mode and I've had the surprise that I can't play it on the phone or on the PC, with any video player. Does anyone have a solution?

I also have this issue, not even coreplayer plays the files.

What did you use to record them?
What settings did you use while recording them?

Hi rp-x1,
I just used the default HTC camcorder app using the H.264 capture format in the options.
The PC seems to think they're in 3gp format though, the file size would suggest so also but still strange that Coreplayer can't play them.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I used the camera from my HTC HD2 in H.264 mode, CIF resolution. I attach one of the files.

Anyone can help?

i just tried the h.264 mode myself. then when i want to play it, the phone says "loading", but nothing happens. i downloaded your file, not even vlc can play the files.
also, gspot cannot recognize the codecs used:

Admittedly it was a long shot but I just tried to convert the supposed .3g2 file into a playable format with Oxelon Media Convertor but even with the .3g2 plugin the file was 'unsupported'.
My guess is that this isn't the actual format of the file and that I've lost all recordings in that format.

So, there is any solution? I've lost my clips recorded in this format?
I thought that at least the one who posted the soft to unlock aditional recording formats will find a solution.

[Q] HD Video output?

I was curious if anyone knows how to change or if an app exists for the hd video to record other than 3gp??

You lost me on that post.
Do you mean record TO the phone or play OFF the phone. I don't know what 3gp is...
If you mean record, you can decrease video size in the camcorder settings.

OP is trying to ask if it is possible to record HD video in a format other than .3GP

It will be awesome if someone can mod the Vibrant to record HD Video in Divx/Xvid format or H264/MP4 format. Wishful thinking..

After the JI6 update, the camcorder will shoot and save the videos in the mp4 format.
