I notice a considerable difference in quality of video (resolution-wise) when streaming video from hulu plus or watchespn. It seems to be stuck at like 360/480....basically sub 720p. Is there a setting I'm missing or do these apps just use a different video code or something? The reason I ask is because youtube videos look amazing so I know it's not my connection. It would be disappointing to know such a great screen is going to waste....but I would still like to know so please someone tell me what's going on.

Has any one else experienced extremely poor audio quality with the HTC Streaming Media program on the Touch Dual? (Viewing vides from m.youtube.com)?
Using the HTC Streaming Media player on my Treo 750 the quality was decent but on the Touch Dual it is so poor that it is essentially not usable and I'm hoping that somebody knows 1) why and 2) how to fix it.
I've searched the forums and found plenty of information referencing watching YouTube on the phone but nothing that hits on my problem.
Thanks,
Bob
hi
try the diamond streaming player it has also bad quality but it feels like its better u can find it in the hack and dev section in the diamond apps thread
editr use the youtube player, it s slower at streaming but it has same video/audio quality as on pc! you can also find on this forum
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I did try one of the YouTube players but for whatever reason it could never find any Videos (I didn't put alot of effort into figuring out why.)
Still would like to know why the audio quality with the default streaming player is so poor . . .
hi,
im currently using coreplayer 1.2.4 for youtube. the simply BEST player!!! i could send you cab if you want, you can set streaming options for high, medium and low quality. high works nice and smooth here! htc streaming player is worse quality because its streaming over RTSP. but coreplayer can also stream over h264, which has waayyyyy better quality
Hi All,
Is there a certain setting I'm missing for good video/audio quality? The video i get is pretty grainy and choppy and the audio is kind of garbled. I know it's not a video camera but you should be able to get something half way decent. Right now I'm using Mpeg setting but i don't see anywhere where you can choose audio recording setting.
Thanks,

My programming skills are far to minimal to take on a project like this. The app idea is pretty basic: A camcorder application which allows you to specify audio quality.
I would like a camcorder app which would utilize the features of the app "HiFiCorder." HiFiCorder allows you to record high bitrate audio up to 320k. I believe the current camcorder apps record audio at around 8-12k.
Every camcorder app I've tried has had pathetic audio quality. This makes taking video on your phone pointless. I believe there would be a huge market for an app with awesome video AS WELL AS audio quality.
Thanks,

Try Bambuser - it allows you to change resolution/audio quality - I own crappy VF 845 with fixed focus 2mpix camera/320x240 video and it does 800x480 video, with better audio quality.
The only thing with this is following: it works like qik, it streams it live to their website, you can later download FLV with your video, they have direct link to video in the dashboard.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. I know someone had once suggested Justin.TV as well, but I didn't really like the idea of having to stream, then download. I guess if it's the only way to get decent audio, I'll give it a go...
so, i just synced a movie to my Focus. It took quite a while, because it had to convert the video, which was high quality to begin with. However, no that it's been converted and i'm watching it on my phone it looks terrible. It's like watching youtube and not youtube in HD. My Tilt 2 had better video quality than this.
Has anyone successfully synced a movie to their phone without it being reduced to trash?
Up until now, i've been able to tolerate the small issues, but if this is the bottom line when it comes to video quality, ATT can have the phone back.
That's because the zune software doesn't do as good a job of encoding video as a manual encoder like Handbrake would do..
Try converting with Handbrake (http://www.handbrake.fr)
and entering the following into the "Advanced" section.. on the bottom of the window and hit enter.
ref=5:bframes=0:me=umh:subq=9:mixed-refs=1:8x8dct=0:analyse=all:cabac=0
These are settings that the Zune HD would take and play without the software re-encoding.. so maybe WP7 will be similar in that regard.
thanks! I hope it works!
poor video quality regarding youtube...if you watch youtube with a wifi connection the picture is ok to watch in comparision to watching youtube on 3g...for some reason the phone uses a low quality for playing youtube and other videos over 3g...hopefully someone makes a tweaking program or a work around because my att fuze played gorgeous video over any connection
I used handbrake to convert a couple dvd's and they look great on the device. They were actually video's I dd for my Captivate but they lok great on the Focus as well.
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of an android video player app that can handle video's shot at higher than normal frame rates? I just got a gopro, but all the video's filmed above 30fps struggle to play back. I usually use 1440p 48fps, as this gives nice smooth playback and the biggest field of view when i'm skiing. i understand that stuff like this is better off being edited on a pc to get any sort of decent results.....but i'd just like to be able to have a little look at the vids straight from the memory card before i get home too.
so far i've tried vlc, which just becomes a garbled mess, the stock video app which detects it as a sound only file, and mx player which plays back the video in slow motion and plays back the sound in sections (i.e. it will play sound at correct speed, but keep stopping while it waits for the video to sync up). so mx is the best so far, but is there an payer that can actually understand the higher frame rate and play it back at that rate too?
Try the latest vlc nightly. Go into settings and try it with and without hardware acceleration

Have you tried Dice Player?

thanks for the suggestions guys. unfortunately i still have no luck with these players, no matter what settings i used. think i'll have to get used to doing lots of editing first ha ha.
