I know i can use my sd to save pics. but the default does not allow for videos and the multi shots to be saved to the sd instead. Is there a mod out there that will do this? I should have my san disk ultra 64 in the mail in a few days and its rated for hd recording camera's.

Did anyone try to record MPEG-4 video with XDA II on your SD memory card?
I've tried Toshiba 256MB/128MB and Sandisk 128MB SD memory, and the frame skip rate is quite high. The video seems like being recorded at only 2~5 FPS. If you record the video for more than 2 mintues, you will find that the voice doesn't sync with the motion.
The maximum data transfer rate of Toshiba 256 SD memory is about 2MB/s. Thus I think this problem isn't due to the "relatively" slow transfer rate of my SD card(compared to the "fast" sd card of transfer rate up to 10MB/s). :roll:
Is there anyone who has the experience of recording MPEG-4 video on the SD card and suffers the same problem with me?
2 Questions and I will test this for you:
1. How do you record directly to the storage card?
2. How do you get sound with your movie?
Thanks,

Bump.
Can anyone answer these questions?

Hi,
To record a video directly to a storage card, in Camera mode, click the settings icon (the first from left to right icons at the buttom), then select Tools > Options... > Video. In there, at the buttom of the page, you'll see Folder and Change..., click it to choose the destination folder on Storage Card, and then click ok to save the settings.
To enable sound, above the Folder, there's a checkbox to chose "Recording with audio." Check this box to include sound in your video recording.
HTH.
Guh, I'm an idiot, only saw the options icons on the lower right.
Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate it.
As far as the voice recording, anyone know if the system volume (device, not phone) has to be turned on? Will it work if it's on mute (or vibrate)? If not, does it make a difference if it's on the lowest volume notch vs. the highest?
I would run some tests myself, but I can't right now (XDA II isn't accessible atm).
Thanks for the reply.

And no problem here too, will find some time to test recording long video on SD.
Cheers. :lol:
I just got my 512MB Panasonic SD memory card(10MB/sec) tonight, and got it to test with the XDA II video recording function.
I found that the difference really existed when I recorded MPEG-4 video with a 2MB/s SD memory card compared to a 10MB/s SD memory card.
The video recording process is much smoother if you use the 10MB/s SD card to record the video, but once the video is recorded, there is no difference whether you are playing the video file on a 2MB/s SD card or on a 10MB/s SD card.
The conclusion is: the recording process is the key. You should get a faster card when recording a MPEG-4 video file.

omg I have only just realised this thanks to this thread. I have been recording vid on my xda 2 stored on my SD card, and the framerate and sound quality has been poor, but never had video on a PDA before so didn't really think too much of it.
Just completed some tests recording to the My Documents/pictures file which was the default location I think and video is superb in comparison, DOH.
In future all my vids will be recorded in phone memory, I'll just have to move them to storage card afterwards to avoid space problems.
N1, I offer no help or suugestions just confirmation of your own findings,
Cheers, Shire
hi, i am newbe so i am sorry for my silly question in advance. i'd like to mention that i tried to serch what i am interested in before i posted this.
can anybody tell me excatly what kind of vide or movie formats or files does universal support ? and if it dosnt support many is there anyway to upgrade it to enable this device ?? does is suport divx or avi , mpeg files ? and can u convert the above to the format universal support ?
and what is the SD card universal support. what is the mac size ? 4GB ? or lesss ?
cheers,
matt willing to get MDA Pro
MDA Pro supports 4 GB SD Cards.
Maybe it will support bigger sizes, but i think no one has a 8GB test card.
WMP 10 Mobile support only Microsoft Formats.
If you like to play other formats look on this project http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
It is also important to know that:
YES, the Universal supports 4GB SD Cards ONLY for running and storing applications or files. The camera application won't allow you to store recorded movies nor pictures taken by the camera if you are using 4GB SD cards.
2GB SD cards don't have any problem.

4gb cards don't have a problem usually, providing the free space on it is less than 2gb.
hi all,
I'm facing a strange problem in gallery. As i pinch-zoom pictures taken from the camera, zoom is fine and the edges remain smooth. Similar is the case with pictures downloaded from hd wallpaper app.
However, if i zoom-in on the pictures (9.1 MP captured through my Sony DSC-H50 camera), it is not showing up nice. It shows up blocky inspite of the fact that its resolution is higher than that of the screen; even so on minor pinch-zoom.
Major problem however is that if I try to make these as my wallpaper, it shows up very blocky.
Is there any resolution for this problem? Is there any other app through which I can set images as my wallpaper without disturbing the quality?
Try wallpaper set and save
Did you wait for a moment, say, 5-10 seconds? I was using an old card which is a class 2 SD card and everytime I zoom in a picture it takes about 5 seconds to load the full resolution, the situation gets much better after I have changed to a class 10 Transcend micro SD card, try to get a class 10 card and you will probably find improvement in pretty much everything since there is very frequent usage on SD card for caching I guess.

Him, i want to record a football match with my g2 but it crates large files which i dont have the capacity to store on this phone because it only has 16 gb. With this being said i cant record a football match which has 90 minutes. It would fill all the memory available in my phone!
Is there any app that can record smaller video files ? Can i record 90 minutes without filling my phone's memory? Help me out please.
Thanks

you can always set a lower video recording quality to get a smaller size.
another way, you can expand the phone's storage using a USB OTG cable, but I'm not sure how to have the default camera app saving to the external storage, or you can try 3rd party camera apps.

setting the app to record in lower will get me 90 minutes of recording?
Hi, when I record a long FHD video, it will automatically split the file after the file reached 4GB. Is there any way to record continuessly?
My SDcard is formatted with exfat FS, so i don't think the problem is with the sd card. In fact I have many movies that around 8GB in size.
Sorry for my english.
Use a different camera app maybe. I hate this limit.
Up.
I don't understand this totally arbitrary limit. My Sony Xperia records continuously which is great for one-hit videos of 30 - 40 minutes that DO NOT need to be manually stitched back together to upload to Youtube (for example).
It's the single most frustrating thing my 'new' S8 presents to me and the one single thing that may have me headed back to my Xperia
I assume you are using the stock camera app. I don't know if it is, but the Samsung camera APK might only be 32-bit and this is a common limitation as 4GB is 2^32 and the integer limit on 32-bit is (2^31)-1.
It's basically a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it, because most people don't run into this issue.
