Video - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Generally new phones come with a video from the manufacturer installed on it to showcase the display.
My Note 4 doesn't seem to have this though and neither does my wife's.
Does anyone else have the showcase video from Samsung on their note 4? What video is it?
Would someone be so kind as to upload it somewhere?
Thanks

Why would you need their video, get a 2k or 4k video from the net, download it and that's it.

Yeah I don't have any video too, but you can watch/ download a video from youtube, for example Marques Brownlee records at 4k, so you can download or watch the 2k (1440p) version of any video.

Here are the Samsung Demo vids found pre-installed on the display units in stores. Link
The ones found on Youtube are great but they're highly compressed. These ones will really show off that screen!
Enjoy!

Before this phone was released there was youtube clips of the i9000 playing a HD video clip, I thought it would have come with the phone but alas it didn't
Does anyone know of any short HD clips to show off to friends?

[Q] Bad quality 4K recording.

I bought myself a Note 3(N9005, 32GB version) few days ago, but since the beginning I have had a problem with recording 4K videos. To be exact, it doesn't record at the promised 45-50 mbps bitrate, instead it records at 10 mbps or even lesser bitrate. So my question would be, how can I fix that?
All the other featured modes are working flawlessly. Would really appreciate some help. The phone is not rooted or customized in any way.
Thanks in advance!

Did you set it up for 4k in settings
Yes, under the video resolution section I chose 3840x2160. Is there supposed to be some more options to improve the quality?

Do you have a 4k TV if not you won't see any difference between 4k then 1080p

Downscaled 4K looks much better though, so there is a huge benefit in making 4K videos. Anyway it seems like those crappy units of Note 3-s made their way only to Estonia, since me and shizny are both from Estonia and there is no more information about that problem on the internet, atleast I couldn't find absolutely nothing on such weirdness.
Actually jaythenut is correct. Though the Note 3 is capable of recording video for playback on a 4K TV your device having only a 1080p display is not going to appear different at all.
The Note 3 plays back recorded 4K Video in 1080p on both the phone and any other playable media device as it can't process anything higher than that.
Your better off recording videos in 1080p at the now 60f/s.

no one is right.
quality of recorded videos playback is not the same as seen on youtube, by other peeps recordings.
check the quality, bitrate of 4K recorded video on my device is 6000kbps, 1080p is 15000kbps.
If you think a little logically then how come 4K recorded video is worse than 1080p? Even the playback quality is worse, not only on the device itself, but also on monitor.
Have you ever watched 1080p video on 720 display? Any difference? Video is crispy and detailed, Now how about 520p video on 1080p screen?
Now this is the same as my 4K recording on 1080p screen.
Either the device is faulty and cannot record/play 4K videos or sample videos made on youtube are actually 1080p.
This is really strange. I'm from Estonia as well and I'm facing the exact same problems. All my 4K videos look like 240p ones or even worse.
(Can't post the full YT links because of my postcount, but here's the v-codes)
watch?v=4iEt7lGGPqk- 4K sample
watch?v=4fryaJ6cfw4 - 1080p sample for comparison
I can't find anything on the internet regarding this subject, does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I sent an email to Samsung support about this as well.
the same problem here (lithuania), firmware N9005XXUBMJ1
Wait for while there will b some patches to fix it.all devices havr same problem
Same here. 4K recording quality (and, of course, bitrate) is awful. Videos looks like 240p.
Lithuania, baseband N9005XXUBMJ1.
EDIT: Ok, it seems that this is common issue with particular batch of this model (maybe it only affects the Baltic countries), and service centers are aware of this problem.
Left my phone for warranty repairs...

Note 4 (XDA users) non compressed 4K and photos samples.

Hi guys, since i searched all over the forum, i can't seem to find much or any full downloadable 4K samples, before i thought the YT ones looked good, but after downloading one in full ress non compressed ~ 50mbp/s instead of crappy 20 mbp/s youtube ones, i know understand that it does look ever better. Si i thought we can use this tread, in order to share personal footage, and full res/raw pictures if possible, thanks!
Since i don't own the phone yet, i will share my videos/pics later on, please do share i want to make a small collection, thanks!

Not sure about compressed 4K, but I searched on YouTube for 4K video and I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality. Its amazing. On the contrary, 4K wallpapers don't seem to be as impressive. :/

This files are not meant to be watched on youtube, they are meant to be viewed on pc, but taken on your Note 4
Uploaded to dropbox, or other free sharing service.
Ok so question.....the nexus 6 is out already. You think Google took off the feature on our note 4 just to bring it out on the nexus 6??? I wonder if nexus 6 owners can get 4K?
not likely; its a bandwidth issue, so I cant imagine any phone version of youtube getting any 4k videos any time soon
google doesnt want the bandwidth being sucked up by people who need to watch youtube videos in 4k on a 5 inch screen...

I second that mine buffers like crazy too even with excellent coverage.
Mine doesn't seem to buffer. On YouTube it doesn't show high res. I'm only seeing like 440p. When it does YouTube Vevo I get 1080p however on most videos. I can't seem to find anything in 1440p though. I'm not even sure I'm setting YouTube correctly.

And here I thought it was only me. It's just the app though cause if you click on a YouTube link and select Chrome instead of YouTube app it plays flawlessly. But if I hit the link and choose YouTube app it's impossible to watch. So there for it has to be an app problem.

You have to search for a video that was uploaded to YouTube in 1440p. Not all are. In fact, most aren't. He was suggesting that you enter "1440p" into the search box in the YouTube app so that it will bring up videos that are available in that resolution.

Search for "4K Demo UHD 1440P"
I went to settings in the app and there is no option for 1440P so I choose auto, and believe me that's more then 720P which is the highest listed.
app still needs work and an option to choose 1440P but this video looks amazing on the Note 4!
I have the 1440p option but doesnt matter because this last piece of $&% update broke the app, now it only plays like 10 seconds then the video freezes but audio continues to play.
I am on YouTube version 6.0.13 and I have the 4k option. The option only pops up when you have a 4k video on tap. Very impressive.

[HDR VIDEOS] 4k HDR videos from Samsung, LG, Sony and BBC Planet Earth.

Hello.
I'm not the person who have originally written this, but i'm gonna copy and paste it from the Galaxy S8 / S8+ section on Reddit where i found this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everybody,
Here is my collection of 4K HDR videos, all working on the S8. There are 13 videos with a variety of demo material from Samsung, LG, Sony, and BBC Planet Earth.
These videos only work in HDR with the "Samsung Video Library" player (available from Play Store). This will NOT work with any other video player (MX Player, VLC etc.)
For some reason, the video player only plays in HDR when the file is in .mp4 format, and not with .mkv. This is the reason why all the demo footage online doesn't work, most of it is in .mkv format.
If you have your own HDR footage, you have to change the container from mkv to mp4 using ffmpeg before you can play it on the S8.
Make sure to increase brightness to 100% and set screen mode to "Amoled Cinema" for the best viewing experience.
https://mega.nz/#F!jYwlgbBA!piXwD8sYa7zjsRtjStuAyw
Or this one: https://pastebin.com/uLUCVzit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the source for that: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/6hc534/galaxy_s8_4k_hdr_videos/ (the post was deleted for some reasons).
Watching those videos, specially the 'LG_Cymatic_Jazz_HDR10.mp4' video made my jaw drop to the floor when i was watching that with the screen brightness on 100%.
WARNING: Once you have seen HDR videos on your Galaxy S8 / S8+ phone, you will never go back to another phone without HDR and Super AMOLED screen.
Enjoy.
EDIT: I added a new MEGA link with all of the videos in one link from my own MEGA account.
hi, do you know why when i move any video from the original download carpet it doesnt play as hdr anymore? happens with all videos, if i move them back to the download carpet they play as hdr again.

I just notice once you rename the video then the HDR will not work. HDR is there once I change back to original name.

And also. I just tried to rename one of my HDR videos and then run that video in the 'Video' app from Samsung. HDR was still working fine here.

No idea, I got one video change name then it not playing in HDR, but after I change back it play.
Anyway I not plan to change name already, as long it play is fine.
By the way I play using Samsung Standalone Video app which need separate download at Samsung Galaxy Apps.
Very nice.
Oh, look what did pop up at SamMobile's page earlier: https://www.sammobile.com/2017/06/1...t-hdr-videos-on-your-galaxy-s8-s8-and-tab-s3/

You can watch the videos with no problems, but you wont be able to see them with HDR on those phones as they don't support it.
All i can is is WOW, makes my 4K Samsung TV seem very poor, look dynamics and colour really do surprise you and your eyes panic and adjust.

The HDR effect looks nice, but there is also a lot of vignetting/color banding (especially noticable on the Planet Earth clip with the small lizard). Looks way better on my LG OLED anyways.... But could be sloppy reencode job...

Ok, i don't have a Galaxy S6 or S7 here now, so i can't test to confirm this though.
Can someone else with access to a Galaxy S6 or S7 test some of those videos out on those phones to see if they works, or if they only works on devices who support HDR?

As you know it is being reproduced in HDR and not just good quality? Is there any symbol indicating that it is playing in HDR?
Might sound like a dumb question, but how do I confirm HDR is active? Have the S8+ and played these videos using the Samsung Video app (after setting display to max brightness and AMOLED Cinema). They do look nice, but I was not blown away. Perhaps HDR was not active?
