I haven't actually installed the ROM myself yet on my HD2 (kinda happy at the moment with MDJ's 2.3 Gingerbread NAND ROM for now), and I know that the DFT WP7 ROM now finally enables true 720p (1280x720) video recording.
Can someone do a test recording of that functionality and post the video sample someplace so I can see what kind of quality it offers? Just a 30 second clip would be great, perhaps something shot out of a window in daylight, whatever, doesn't matter. Just want to see how the quality and performance of the video appears.
Drop a link here from wherever, maybe post the clip to MegaUpload or something (not YouTube, please, as they might re-encode it to another format/settings). I'm looking for a native recorded clip on the HD2 using the DFT WP7 ROM at 720p settings, that's all.
Thanks...
I know you mentioned no youtube.. but i don't know other way.. and megaupload has an error when I tried it.. but just to give you an idea. here is youtube link for 720p with HD2..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5cv6bQ9FgA
Is it just me or is there a lot of noise interference in the background?
If you Zip or RAR the clip, MegaUpload or even MediaFire (faster) would accept it, but anything with the native .mp4 extension can be problematic as those sites try to treat the file as a streaming video.
I downloaded the YouTube one you posted, myowin, thanks. If anyone else has samples, go for it, I'm just trying to see what the HD2 is truly capable of so a variety of samples would be awesome to check out. This one posted above looks as expected - not "professional" level quality but then again we are talkin' about a smartphone with a tiny optical sensor in it.
It ain't perfect but at least finally we can do true 720p video recording on our HD2.
Always knew the hardware was capable...
As far as noise, the video itself looks as expected as I mentioned, and for audio noise, the mic is simply picking up whatever it can. It's pretty amazing when you do a recording in a room that you think is absolutely quiet and realize when you play the video back that there's a ton of background noise in it. Our subconscious minds filter out a lot of that background noise because it's always there, but when you listen to a recording, the brain knows it's not listening to the background noise anymore - instead, it's a recording of it and all that background crap just comes through loud and clear.

Guess you missed where I stated that, I can download direct from YouTube.
I tried mediafire and uploaded now.. here is the link..

I hope this help..
for the noises in background.. I am surprised how much HD2 can pick up.. I mean not only playback volume is loud... recording volume is also very sensitive and loud.. maybe it's a good thing..

Yah, it is, and thanks for the proper upload. The YouTube version was re-encoded as I suspected and chopped - it's only 6.32MB and they cut the average bitrate down to only 2795 Kbps whereas the original video you just uploaded to MediaFire is 7911 Kbps for the average bitrate and it looks better because of it (while remaining the original 17.7MB in size also).
So I'm guessing the "average" bitrate done on the HD2 with WP7 is about 8 Mbps 720p and that's more than acceptable.

I think he's just a heavy breather lol
at first, I was gonna say there's no 720p when I noticed my vids are all 480p
and after reading more topics, I found out that I must use English (US) not UK to enable 720p =.=
I thought WP7 camera is no better than iphone camera at first, but the features are actually hidden in US English versions...
I don't get it why they hide it there....
Btw, 720p is now 100% working and quality is brilliant!!!
Any hackers gonna port it to Android??
But 480p got a faster framerate than 720p

Interesting, still, pressing settings only seems to bring me flash options, photo or video, am I missing something??
How can i enable the 720p on Wp7? I just press "green" button on the phone and it beigns to record at 640x480... in the options not found anynthing about the resolution.
Thanks!!!

Hi, i have a questin about 720p playback right on the phone.
i cant playback the recorded files in 720p on the phone.
it will only play files in lower resolution.
is this normal ?
I wondered why it only records with low settings xD It's a little bit tricky but ok ^^
No, that isn't beacuse of him. A couple of days ago I tried capturing a 720p video at work...After that I noticed that there was a much more louder than this guy's noise in the background and figured it out why...I was about 1meter from a PC and the noise was coming from it's fans. I don't know if this is good or bad but 720p for real ! )
°
aaam is it possible to play the recorded 720p files on the phone ?
i have a black screen and only here sound when i try to playback 720p recorded video.
I just made a video, though I don't have that noise in the background.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzAckfa8eww
EDIT :
@schlei
720p videos play fine here
plz tell me ...since iv got the phone every pic i had and every pics i take and the youtube hd everything looks very pixel
i see i dont have problem with the screen its ok.but the youtube not looks really hd (even if i thick the good quallity in the settings)
and all the pics if i make little bit zoom it looks pixel?strange
yeah i am on the same boat any news to this ?
Some one????
Even when i watch youtube in 4k that shot with this camera its very pixelly
Youtube or Google +?
My videos on G+ are all pixelated, but if i see them directly from the file they are all ok.
Not following what the issue is here. No issues with YouTube playback or playback of 4k video I've shot

Hi guys, since i searched all over the forum, i can't seem to find much or any full downloadable 4K samples, before i thought the YT ones looked good, but after downloading one in full ress non compressed ~ 50mbp/s instead of crappy 20 mbp/s youtube ones, i know understand that it does look ever better. Si i thought we can use this tread, in order to share personal footage, and full res/raw pictures if possible, thanks!
Since i don't own the phone yet, i will share my videos/pics later on, please do share i want to make a small collection, thanks!

Not sure about compressed 4K, but I searched on YouTube for 4K video and I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality. Its amazing. On the contrary, 4K wallpapers don't seem to be as impressive. :/

Oh you cant imagine how much more you will be blown away by non compressed 4K videos, wit 50mbp/s bit rate, YT ones are a joke at least during movement
I can't get 1080p to play on the YouTube app let alone 4k.

This has to be a provisioning problem with Google's servers. I can get 1080 and 4K on all my devices except the Note 4.

This files are not meant to be watched on youtube, they are meant to be viewed on pc, but taken on your Note 4
Uploaded to dropbox, or other free sharing service.
Ok so question.....the nexus 6 is out already. You think Google took off the feature on our note 4 just to bring it out on the nexus 6??? I wonder if nexus 6 owners can get 4K?
not likely; its a bandwidth issue, so I cant imagine any phone version of youtube getting any 4k videos any time soon
google doesnt want the bandwidth being sucked up by people who need to watch youtube videos in 4k on a 5 inch screen...

No, its actually an APP bug, not a google/bandwidth issue, AFAIK. Also please guys, start sharing videos, lets not go offtopic, i have hard time finding videos in max quality and no one here helped yet as well

Hello.
I'm not the person who have originally written this, but i'm gonna copy and paste it from the Galaxy S8 / S8+ section on Reddit where i found this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everybody,
Here is my collection of 4K HDR videos, all working on the S8. There are 13 videos with a variety of demo material from Samsung, LG, Sony, and BBC Planet Earth.
These videos only work in HDR with the "Samsung Video Library" player (available from Play Store). This will NOT work with any other video player (MX Player, VLC etc.)
For some reason, the video player only plays in HDR when the file is in .mp4 format, and not with .mkv. This is the reason why all the demo footage online doesn't work, most of it is in .mkv format.
If you have your own HDR footage, you have to change the container from mkv to mp4 using ffmpeg before you can play it on the S8.
Make sure to increase brightness to 100% and set screen mode to "Amoled Cinema" for the best viewing experience.

Or this one: https://pastebin.com/uLUCVzit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the source for that: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/6hc534/galaxy_s8_4k_hdr_videos/ (the post was deleted for some reasons).
Watching those videos, specially the 'LG_Cymatic_Jazz_HDR10.mp4' video made my jaw drop to the floor when i was watching that with the screen brightness on 100%.
WARNING: Once you have seen HDR videos on your Galaxy S8 / S8+ phone, you will never go back to another phone without HDR and Super AMOLED screen.
Enjoy.
EDIT: I added a new MEGA link with all of the videos in one link from my own MEGA account.
hi, do you know why when i move any video from the original download carpet it doesnt play as hdr anymore? happens with all videos, if i move them back to the download carpet they play as hdr again.

Hmm, weird. I have those videos placed in my own folder somewhere on the internal storage. But they are still being played with HDR for me when I opens the HDR videos with the 'Video' app from Samsung.

Thanks for changing to mp4.
I just notice once you rename the video then the HDR will not work. HDR is there once I change back to original name.

Now it wasn't me that changed those videos to .mp4. It was the guy from the source who did it.
And also. I just tried to rename one of my HDR videos and then run that video in the 'Video' app from Samsung. HDR was still working fine here.

No idea, I got one video change name then it not playing in HDR, but after I change back it play.
Anyway I not plan to change name already, as long it play is fine.
By the way I play using Samsung Standalone Video app which need separate download at Samsung Galaxy Apps.
Very nice.
Oh, look what did pop up at SamMobile's page earlier: https://www.sammobile.com/2017/06/1...t-hdr-videos-on-your-galaxy-s8-s8-and-tab-s3/
And look at that 'VIA' link at the end of the article on where it goes :laugh:. Yes, it's linked to my thread here.

You can watch the videos with no problems, but you wont be able to see them with HDR on those phones as they don't support it.
All i can is is WOW, makes my 4K Samsung TV seem very poor, look dynamics and colour really do surprise you and your eyes panic and adjust.

The HDR effect looks nice, but there is also a lot of vignetting/color banding (especially noticable on the Planet Earth clip with the small lizard). Looks way better on my LG OLED anyways.... But could be sloppy reencode job...

Ok, i don't have a Galaxy S6 or S7 here now, so i can't test to confirm this though.
Can someone else with access to a Galaxy S6 or S7 test some of those videos out on those phones to see if they works, or if they only works on devices who support HDR?

As you know it is being reproduced in HDR and not just good quality? Is there any symbol indicating that it is playing in HDR?
Might sound like a dumb question, but how do I confirm HDR is active? Have the S8+ and played these videos using the Samsung Video app (after setting display to max brightness and AMOLED Cinema). They do look nice, but I was not blown away. Perhaps HDR was not active?
Generally videos on the phone look amazing, but I'm wondering why youtube videos, specifically videos with lots of darks look super blotchy and pixelated. Case in point, the trailers on YouTube for GOT and Frozen 2 are almost unwatchable they're so bad. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? Anyone else seeing this?
I have data saver from att off and I'm watching on wifi with 100mbps.
Edit: Watched the GOT trailer from a different source and it was flawless. I guess it was just low quality source before.
I think it's the source of the video. I just wanted a 4k video on YouTube and it was awesome.

I was thinking that too. I also watched a 4k video on YouTube and was amazing. You would think the studios that release these trailers would put it the highest quality possible. Oh well.
