I'm trying to record a video over 1 minute long on 1080p and it won't go past 1 minute...it keeps saying maximum reached.
Is there any way around this cap?? I don't see anything pertinent in the video settings.
TIA!
Maybe are you running out of free memory? where are you saving it?

Hey Folks,
during the weekend, I used my HD2 to view some movies - quite nice on its big display!
But what was a little strange for me: The battery draining was VERY high.
Once I read (don't ask me where), the HD2 shall playback videos for 12h with one charge.
But after "The Rock" (around 2:14h playtime) the battery capacity had only 55% (fully charged while beginning to view).
I used in the beginning the automatic backlight brightness (room was entirely dark) and in the second half of the movie I set it to 20% but the drain was not a little stopped.
I used the TCMP 0.81, the movie has been an divx/xvid DVD-rip, with an overal bitrate of 1496 kbit/s and AC3-sound the resolution has been 640x272.
What would you recommend to encode the movie to? (wmv, avi, which codec?)
What kind of player would you use (not concerning any kind of operation-convenience)
What think - it should be possible to reach the half of HTC's spec (12h) of playback time...
So any ideas / recommendations?
Regards,
Maeffjus
To be honest, that sort of battery drain is about what I would expect playing videos. 5 hours or so of continuous playback on a full charge is a reasonable target. Anyone who suggested 12 hours was a possibility was simply dreaming.
If you want to experiment with transcoding there are a number of existing threads on the subject, for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586324
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591473
It's safe to assume you want to use x264 as your codec and .mp4 as your wrapper, but beyond that I don't think anyone came to any firm conclusions.
If you don't feel like experimenting, then try this as an encoding application: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478050
I thought maybe an other decoder would save some power...(CorePlayer, WindowsMediaPlayer...whatever)
And also I thought, using another codec would also help (in this regard: I do not prefer any codec, only the on who expands playtime with a charge .
Using a hardware-accelerated app (e.g. HTCAlbum) with the appropriate codecs will shift the load from the CPU to the GPU, but that won't necessarily cut power consumption much. Phone CPU's are very power-efficient compared to desktop PC CPU's, so moving the load makes less difference. Putting the phone in "Airplane Mode" while you watch might help.
It is a video of the set up and overview on the software. It's not a full review, since I have not had it all the way yet to review nor is the service finished.
Not sure if you guys would find this useful or not. BTW, skip to 50 seconds I had no idea i was talking that long before the video started... I just like talking..

I started the video at around 9 yesterday and I've had my computer on all day since then and it is 2,500 songs done thus far. Just to give you guys an idea of time it takes to get your video uploaded.
This is going to kill my bandwidth allowance.
I need to limit amount of video YouTube quickly buffers. I have high speed volume based internet connection at home. Say for example if I start a 30 min video, by the time I have watched 5 min, all video will have been downloaded. Family members keep surfing long youtube videos, watch 5 min and switch to another and that is costing me huge volume of video data download. I wish there is setting in youtube app not to buffer more than say 5 min or say 50 MB. Any suggestion for me?
QoS in my aging router is not feature rich and I do not want to go this route.
I just purchased a Moto X Pure (32GB model with U1 PNY 128 GB microsd) and need to use it to record long videos. I tried the 4k option and I only get about 10 minutes and the video size is 3.79 GB roughly before it ends recording and states "video recording size reached, stopped recording." I then tried 1080p on the phone and I get around 32 minutes which is roughly 3.79 GB and it reports the same message.
This leads me to believe its either a software issue with the default camera app or something about the 4 GB limit on FAT files. Anyone have any ideas on how to increase video recording lengths? I'm hoping there's some type of app when the video file max is reached, it creates a new file and continues recording. I plan to record video of my backpacking trip and will be bringing ten 128 gb microSD cards with me.
Hello,
Hello everyone, I have googled this question with no luck.
I am a musician. I use my lhone to record performances. When I finish, the video is cut into segments are are about 33 minutes long. Is this a "feature" that can be turned off?
Thanks.

I believe this is an Android limitation, I think there are a few camera apps that can record continuously (think they just rejoin videos together,but result is the same). Maybe a XDA guru can help with that.
Ive used this to join videos together that Ive already recorded with decent success. Hope this helps

My HTC M8 records overr 3 hours of continuous video.
That's what I usually use to record our gigs, but I borrowed it to a friend who dropped his phone in a toilet. Ha.
I guess I could try 3rd party camera apps, but I feel like I shouldnt have to do that......sigh.
Im honestly shocked this was still a thing with your post, my old Galaxy 2 from many years ago is when I 1st discovered this. I haven't had a need for long video's since but multiple scenes becoming 1 video has been needed (kinda how I found that app). Im wondering what is HTC doin to make it all work together.
I'm not sure why, but it seems like it's a file size thing. For example, if I record in max resolution, I get about 11-ish minutes before it splits into a new file. Makes me wonder if it's going on file size, not so much length? granted, would have to test by recording in different formats to see. But it sure is a bother having to go use a 3rd party to join them back together afterwards.
Hmmm,FAT32 file size limit is 2GB so maybe your on to something. I can't recall if I tried to put the SD Card in NTFS format back in the day but hey its worth a shot to OP.
