Hey guys, quick question for nexus one users. Do you guys consider taking 720p video important? I know you could do the 720p hack, but the quality is so-so with alot of stuttering. Do you guys find vid recording a selling point or just a perk thats not really necessary.

Yes i use it and love it. i find the micro stuttering is from a slow sd card. It wasn't a selling point for me since its not a stock feature

if you turn off auto focus, it's pretty good. i call 720p a good selling point, and from now on a must have for a phone.

*lol, like the vid!
I'd trade 720p for better quality pictures, so no, it's not that important to me, but nice to have nevertheless.
forgot to put in the reason why im asking.
i love the vanilla UI and i LOVE (you have no idea) the Nexus One styling. This is the phone i wanted for a really long time. But the thing is, the nexus one is lacking in apps (one in particular that i play everyday, bejewled blitz) and its lacking in the HD recording department (and touch to focus). Im trying to decide if those two things are worth going back to the iphone. The ironic thing is, i dont even take videos on the iphone. i think its the fact that its nice to have.
being stuck in the middle blows.
CM6 video has touch to focus and continuous auto-focus in video.

does it rival the iphone 4's vid quality or is it a bit more stutter-y?

You're comparing a year old phone with a few months old phone...not working, compare it with the 3Gs!
I don't have an iPhone 4 but I'm pretty sure the iPhone has better video/picture quality than the Nexus
It's not that important to me now, but may be in the near future...
It is not as good as the iPhone 4's but the Nexus One is an older, less powerful phone. The video quality is adequate.

Wow thats really good quality video. Not really a pic/video person but glad my n1 will take quality video.
thanks for the replies guys. i guess i'll use the nexus one as a primary phone and carry the iphone if i go places i need to record videos.
i would just like some mod that can enable the auto focus when im recording something
not really important but always good to have.. loving cm6.1rc1
I've used the video capabilities exactly one time.
Don't think that 720p would do anything for me.

I can do that in CM6 ... if I understand you right. I'm able to change focus method in the middle of the recording.
I agree with some of the posts here.
I don't care about the 720p recording but it's good to have it but I'd also definetly trade it for better quality on my photos

If you use enom's rom you can install the htc cam which has 720p

I really love the phone and especially its photo capabilities.
Yet the video lags while recording are really bad.
Here a random unedited testvideo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NbXSOsVaE0
At the end theres no sound which probably results from the freezing where no sound is recorded.
Therefore the video is longer than the recorded sound.
I just checked and firmware is up to date, battery was full & taskkiller emptied RAM before recording.
Hope there is a fix incoming

Oh Ok i don't make videos, so i m not sure... Just tested video capturing 2 minurtes after turn off image stabilizor & it was fine.. But i had all other settings default
there is a known bug in the video recording of the arc, check some other threads on here. It has been reported to S.E so hopefully they will release a patch to solve the problem.
Is the sound on playback alot better than the X10? Because the X10 sounds pretty damn bad! Like im in a tin can.

Well, with stabilization on you get distortion as the frame moves, but it's hardly noticeable. Beats a jerky video.

It destroys the image with to much compression. Usually ends up with a more blurry pic.
But im speaking from the Xperia X10, not the Arc. But I could only assume its the same as of now.
ive just replaced the memory card on my arc to a 16gb kingston class 4.....seems marginally better with regards to video stutter...need to run a few more tests first though.

Yeah that a **** video dude..I ve got the same problem..The video lags a lot..I dont know whether there is a solution..hopefully a 3rd party app??
My mum told me to record my little brother's rehearsal for the regional artistic cycling tournament (he got silver btw ) cuz she was at work .The vid lagged so badly, also with the 5 sec freezing and some random 1 sec freezing. The whole performance is only about 10 min. I tried with and without image stabilization and some other settings as I was desperate to get it recording. In the end I asked my brother to do it again and used the milestone(Droid) from the coach to record it.
I have the fragments of the recording on my arc if anyones interested
Not that I care much of the performance as its his first year, but my mum was angry and laughing at my phone.
Bottom line: Awesome cam but useless videorecording.
Sony should come up with something..Video recording is ****.. :S
Hi all!
I apologise if already discussed, but can't find anything after searching within xda-app and google.
I am very happy with my SGS2 in general and consider it to be the best phone so far on the market (maybe apart from sgs2 hd), and therefore expect it's performance to be superior to most phones/pda's. I was watching a youtube clip on iPod Touch 4 the other day which I normally do on my Galaxy, and was so impressed with the sharpness and vividity that I decided to compare thse two side by side. And what a disappointment! Although the Galaxy offers more saturated colours and higher contrast due to OLED's blacks, the sharpness was nowhere near iPods Retina. And personally for me it completely ruins the whole visual experience.
Don't get me wrong, I was aware of the lower resolution (not helped by bigger screen size) before even purchasing SGS2. But I guess this poor youtube experience further highlighted it. I do realize it's probably due to some limitations within the YT app not allowing high enough resolution, and the might be a solution to overcome it that I'm not aware of. By the way I used the stock YT app asa well as the one called RollTube that allows you to download videos. Connection is WiFi 12mbps and videos whatched are HD quality.
Am I the only one bothered by the slightly lower resolution of the SGS2's display? I don't know whether it's over 300ppi but I can clearly tell the difference in sharpness in side by side comparison to Retina looking at the same image. Please let me know what you think folks, and if you know how to fix the YouTube problem that'd be fantastic!

i thought the same as you...i thought my retina display was ten times better than the Galaxy s2 one...but after spending a few months with the the phone i would not change it for the world....i was playing the other day with my friends iphone 4 and il be honest my one is better....youtube videos mine are pretty clear but probably due to the high resolution on the iphone it will loook sharper...but everyone to their own tastes i say
Iphone has higher ppi than in sgs2 which i think is the cause..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yea, i got this same problem, and posted in many forums about it, but obviously no one care about YT?!... The problem is not related to higher resolution on ipod/iphone retina. The same video, downloaded to the phone from Tubemate with highest res is amazing. And on HTC Sensation the things looks awesome too! So my gues is that the youtube app(SGS2), does not play videos in HQ with the highest posible resolution. And for me, for some reason, the playback itself is sometimes choppy, like not enough buffering or something?!!...This choppiness is common for me on every rom i've tried after 2.3.3, no matter custom or stock! The question is why nobody talk about that roblem? I got answers that there is no problem with playback from any forum i search. Are all those people blind, or they don't watch hq videos?
The choppines might be due to the network speed. The playback for me is very smooth.
I am pretty sure the low res is the YT app limitation. A full HD video file when downloaded to pc is around 50-100MB, whereas downloaded to the handset the same video is only 10-15MB. Obviously it is a compressed file with lower resolution. Same applies for viewing.

Obviously it is. But noone seem to be bothered, perhaps because not much can be done other than changing handset.
But the Youtube problem is software related and can be overcome.

No man, my files are just about 50-150MB when downloaded on the phone, and they are with stunning quality!And i use same WiFi network as on my PC, so there is no way that be the problem.Besides choppiness is present only in 2.3.4 or higher, not 2.3.3? Obviously this is some kind of limitation in the app, but why just on sgs2, not others? As i said, on Sensation, the problem doesn't exists? On IOS too? Did Google knows that this device is capable of more that they think? This problem drives me crazy since day 1, and shouldn't be ignored! 600$ on the phone and no quality Youtubes? WTF!?!
Actually, you know what? I've just managed to download a proper HD file using the app you mentioned (Tubemate) and despite the bigger screen size it wasn't easy yo spot the difference in the resolution of SGS2 vs Retina. Samsung have done a good job by adding some subpicsels to make up for low ppi. It's the icons where you still can spot the difference relatively easily.
If our app developers could make one that would allow an HD YouTube playback AND the download option in the same app I'm sure people would be willing to pay for it!

I've finaly found what causing the choppiness. I flashed Siyah kernel, and used smartassv2 governor. What a surprise for me was to find out that playback was fine. The problem obviously was in the default cpu ondemand governor. In other words, the cpu scalling was somehow wrong?!... Unfortunately, the smartass governor, was no good to me for games, very poor frame rates.
Hello,
I have been reading around, and I found a thread in which people have been kernel modding and achieving higher quality and more FPS, but all the download links are broken.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159076
They seem to report success, but the thread closes inactively without any updates or links.
The goal is essentially getting 60FPS on 720P video, much like what the iPhone 4S provides.
I am wondering if anyone here has any information about this that they can provide? Is anyone aware of any mod or kernel mod that can provide 60FPS video recording in any mode for the Nexus 4? Surely the hardware is capable.
You do know that unless you use 3d recording anything more that 24 is an over kill, 29~30 to look smoother
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Of course I know that, but that only applies for general video recordings. I want 60FPS for a very specific use, to slow down the video 2.5x (to 24fps) while still being fluid for slow-motion recordings.
Such a useless response.

hmm read through the thread that you had posted a link to, i believe that was a real screen shot at the end, it is possible tto film 720p60fps i know because my htc rezound that was released in november 2011 had the ability to film slomo video at [email protected] that phone was no where near as pwerfull as the nexus 4, so i know n4 can do it i would love to see the abilty unlocked in either a mod or an app
I also believe the screenshot was real. But file metadata is one thing and real video measurement is the other.
I think it is all what he achieved, and the rest is just trolling people.

yeah, selective bitrate would be awesome
Confirmed that its working but "THAT SIZE" maybe you could lower it down a bit? it eats a lot of space, i only have 32gig sd card.
[email protected] and [email protected] would be great. 4k with to high framerate needs just too much space.
And what´s about 1080p30fps? can you increase the bitrate too?
Steady shot in 4k is gone if this mod is flashed on z2
Tested out you mod but upon opening the camera app it just returns "Camera not available"
I flashed it and cleaned cache/dalvik but it didn't want to work and I know the phone wasn't overheated(17 C)

I just said in my previous post, I don't know how to make one
So we just had to flash your mod, and after that, report if it's working or not ?
I'll make a report asap, firt, i've got to make a backup of course
But if it's working, it's going to be great for my new UHD TV
Thanks and keep it up !
Whats the difference from the other orginial version because the bitrate on my 80mbit/s videos was 79.7mbit/S so pretty much 80mbit/s
Just flashed it on my phone and record a video, everything's working great and the bitrate is indeed, 80mbits/sec
For information, i record 30 sec and my video is 281mb. I thought that it would be higher so that's perfect for me ! -)
I was wondering if you can make a higher bitrate as well for the 1080p and 720p mode ?
Cause the 1080p bitrate is only 30mbts... Which i found a bit low compare to the 4K recording and it's 80mbts (i mean, after i flash your mod)
Thanks again and good job anyway!
