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..

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.
removed.

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
as the title says i made this thread for collecting people who are ready for donating for the one who can get the 720p or even the 1080p recording as the hardware can do this and also for discussing how to enable it
i will add 20$
Well, it would be sweet and all, but the video calling quality isn't that great as it is (it looks nice on the device, but playback on a computer is so so), so 720/1080 probably wont look that great,
edit: You can use a app called LG Camera, and it allows you to record 1024x600, an improvement at least
This isn't so much a video quality test, because well, it's not the best... But I think the audio recording sounds pretty good. :good:
I didn't find another thread simply for Audio or even video tests, only people complaining about picture quality.
I uploaded two videos onto YouTube, the first one is the music they played during the actual show and the second is a couple of extra songs they added.

Cool video mate, I normally hate Brass band type stuff but they were sh*t hot lol ... The quality was bang on in the videos so I decided to test it myself with music playing in the car and on the PC ... I was pretty happy with the quality, more so than the crap weather in the 1st video (you wouldn't think it was almost July lol)
I like recording YouTube videos and on my iPhone 4 it was a breeze but on the nexus 4 it is really annoying. I'm not complaining about the lens or anything like that, just the lack of touch to focus when recording videos!
Is there any apps you use to record videos with touch to focus? I've used lgcamera before but it sometimes stutters when starting a video and it cuts as soon as there is ~500mb of space left.

EDIT: I'm sorry i over read someone. I understood it wrong. But you can always use apps which have these features. Snap camera HDR has these features.
Touch to focus on 4.3? You sure? Source?

if anyone knows me from any other phone forums, you'd know I do a lot of guitar videos for youtube, and i typically like doing them with my phone. so i did them a lot until i got my G2 because the G2 was by far the worst video-camera i've ever used in a phone. i'm glad to have the note 4 again because the video quality of all of my Samsung phones has always been the best! here's a few videos I've done so far. the quality is great. the audio isn't as good as I hoped it would be, but that may be because i've got a TPU case on here that's somewhat covering the one mic hole, and in my guitar videos, only the bottom half of the phone was directly facing the guitar amp! so noise cancellation may have been kicking in hard. either way, post your videos!
all in 4k resolution, even though my computer can't even play 4k on youtube lol

For videos where the sound matters an external mic might be worthwhile checking out. Monoprice has what looks like a decent one for under $20 (and there are others out there as well.)

really? like a USB mic works with these? that's awesome. maybe I'll look into getting a good USB mic though.

No, just a headphone jack mic. I think there are USB to go mic's, but probably not in that price range.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to watch videos in 4k, it doesn't gave me the option, the max that allows me to watch videos is 720p. Not even 1080p. How are you guys watching 4k videos on YouTube? What app are you using?
