Poor video recording compared to Moto Droid?

I've done a whole battery of video recording comparisons with my Moto an HTC droids. My main findings are thus:
1. Moto video is much smoother and the light balancing is also sm oother. I find that the Incredible videos are very jumpy and the light brightness also shifts very ruggedly. It is mildly better when I record at the 640x480 instead of 800x480.
2. The video data rates are nearly twice as large on the Moto droid (approx 3600kbps) than the incredible (approx 2000kbps)
3. Audio bit rates are significantly better on the Moto. 98kbps vs 12kbps for the Incredible.
Now, am I just crazy, or has anyone else noticed this? I mean, I almost get sick just watching the jumpy video for the incredible, but video from the Moto seems so smooth.

no way. the moto droid noise level is so high when recording.

I'm really having a hard time appreciating much of a difference in noise levels. What about the jumpiness I am speaking of? Trust me, I want to believe that the Incredible is better, but I'm just not seeing it. Audio is hands down better on the Moto. Maybe I can link some sample videos later if I get time.

I wonder if HTC has some work to do here. I even saw the moto droid vs DI picture article online.
I have both, so I did an informal test, and the DI has some color cast, but it has more detail to work with in Adobe CS.
I also noticed that it's not sharpening like it should. For those in the DSLR realm, take a raw file.... you have to sharpen it or basically "post process" it for sharpening.
I don't want to take these steps, hopefully HTC will step up here. Get the function down in the phone and you will have much better pics than anything out there in it's class

Good points, and I agree that photos give more detail to work with, but I'm speaking soley about the video quality.

Check out this link for a good video comparison. Seems I'm not just going crazy, but that the Motorola actually does record video better than the Incredible. What a shame.
When looking at the video, take note of how the vehicles driving by are "jerky". I can't understand why this is the case when the Incredible supposedly records at a higher frame rate. Does anyone know if this kind of thing can be addressed in a future software update??

720p
I believe that the Moto Driod does DVD Quality 720p HD in its specs, where our phone MAY have the hardware capability, but the software has not been configured that way. Hopefully when we're rooted, and someone created a custom rom, that will be fixed

[Q] Nexus 4 60FPS 720P Video Recording?

Hello,
I have been reading around, and I found a thread in which people have been kernel modding and achieving higher quality and more FPS, but all the download links are broken.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159076
They seem to report success, but the thread closes inactively without any updates or links.
The goal is essentially getting 60FPS on 720P video, much like what the iPhone 4S provides.
I am wondering if anyone here has any information about this that they can provide? Is anyone aware of any mod or kernel mod that can provide 60FPS video recording in any mode for the Nexus 4? Surely the hardware is capable.

You do know that unless you use 3d recording anything more that 24 is an over kill, 29~30 to look smoother

Of course I know that, but that only applies for general video recordings. I want 60FPS for a very specific use, to slow down the video 2.5x (to 24fps) while still being fluid for slow-motion recordings.
Such a useless response.

Why there is always some idiot saying that there is no point of using 60fps ?
Like,.. always,... some F conspiracy or what

Can you upload sample video?

hmm read through the thread that you had posted a link to, i believe that was a real screen shot at the end, it is possible tto film 720p60fps i know because my htc rezound that was released in november 2011 had the ability to film slomo video at [email protected] that phone was no where near as pwerfull as the nexus 4, so i know n4 can do it i would love to see the abilty unlocked in either a mod or an app

I also believe the screenshot was real. But file metadata is one thing and real video measurement is the other.
I think it is all what he achieved, and the rest is just trolling people.

Yes I'm good for $5 maybe we can get some more people in on this. I'd like to see it work for both n4 and n5, but I'd settle for the n4, I think the n5 could do 120fps at 720p easy

[Q] snapdragon's 120fps - doesn't look 720P to me :(

hello there
i was wondering on this issue.
the snapdragon 800 supposedly can do real 720P slo-mo at 120fps. right?
well, i checked many YT videos of the NOTE 3 alongside the A7's similar slo-mo (apple's 5S),
and it DOES NOT LOOK 720P at all. it looks pixelated, or better say, UPSCALED 480p.
while the A7 produce a video that's really usable, and really looks like genuine 720P.
why is that? from the specs i read on the SD800 it clearly says it HAS that capability.
this is a feature i just gotta have in my next phone and i want an Android phone with proper screen size.
any thoughts on the matter?
thanks!

Hmm I think you got it completely wrong..

yea i saw it, thanks.
whether of not this is true, i could see with my own eyes from the many YT 720P videos that it's vastly superior to any other rivals with this option.
mainly the Note 3.
so they say the 5S is not genuine 720p? so it means the Note 3 is even less than 480p? i need FACTS.
and my eyes tell me the 5S looks like 720P. and the NOTE 3 looks like an upscaled 480p
please look in YT and tell me i'm wrong?
the 5S videos are usable to me. the NOTE 3 aren't.
so, why is that?

I don't have any reason to not believe you but.
To me it looks like genuine 720p. GSM arena a respectable site says it's genuine, while the 5s is not, so..
It seems to me maybe you have individual issues with it. Did you try flashing the APK camera again or another rom maybe this will solve your issue?
Worst case scenario is that you have a faulty camera and you need to give it for a repair?

you misunderstood me.
i don't own a Note 3. i am looking for an Android device that can do a decent 720p slo-mo,
and from all the latest snapdragon's out there, the Note is the only one that claims to do a real 720p slo-mo.
i looked at many comparisons videos on youtube, downloaded them and studied them.
conclusion: the 5S is doing at least a x2 better job, whether it's fake or not.
if you could upload a sample of a 120fps slo-mo from your Note 3 and let me study it, i might be proven wrong.
but from MANY samples on YT, my eyes tell me a different story. please check for yourself and tell me.
(i'm not allowed to paste links yet, sorry)
btw - the gsm arena themselves say that they took a 720p video (NOT slo-mo) from the Note 3 and compared it to the 5S slo-mo, so obviously they didn't compare it right imo.

Ok I will be Cpt Obvious but... Do not trust YT. Or the internet samples from the vast majority of YT channels. I only read respectable sites and not the biased stories of every guy that posts or reposts the same videos with unproven or unscientific or biased methods.
Beyond all that, logic says a smartphone that can shoot 4K video @30fps and [email protected] certainly can do 720p @120fps. Especially with a processor like the S800.
If I have some time to upload a video I will do it for you, but I can't make any promises.

Read the article again carefully. They did that since iPhone 5s does not support regular 720p video . Also the method is more than legit if you follow their logic. I am sorry to say that again but I would take the GSM Arena's findings any day over a YT's channel.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but how do you set the frame rate? I can set the resolution to 720p but I see no options for framerate.

from what i remember you can only record a "slow motion" option.. no? ( i don't won a Note 3, sorry).

I'm not seeing anything like that anywhere though.

Once you choose the video resolution you open the "gear" menu and select the recording mode from a videocam icon that is there. There is no 30/60/120, just normal,fast,slow/smooth/limit for MMS options,depending on the video resolution you choose.

Thanks, I managed to find the options. There are actually some other options as well, you can set 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 (default).
I've made two quick recordings of me picking up a pen and dropping it, one in slow-mo (1/8) and one at regular 720p. There's a definite difference in quality, I think.
Rather than upping them to youtube, here are the files straight from the device for a better comparison:

He's not kidding. I think many people can't tell. It does indeed look pixelated and i'm here in Singapore. I showed my friend and she can't tell, i wish everyone in the world can't tell so we can all just live a big lie but it's pretty obvious there if u compare it with another 720p at 30fps
I'm just surprise that there isn't too many mentioned about it. :laugh: Sad to say, cos of this issue, i haven't been doing any 120fps video cos of the bad quality, a feature i was really excited over nothing. I wish Samsung would fix it though, if they even think it's a problem to begin with.

I know! I haven't once use it to take a video that i can upload but i'm thankful for the 60fps FHD. That one works really well

There are three modes for slow-mo.
If you select slow-mo 1/2 videos are recorded at true 720p - 120fps (quality is same as with regular 720p)
If you select 1/4 or 1/8 slo-mo (slower movements) videos are recorded at 240/480 fps and resolution is definitely lower (probably 480p upscaled) and you could clearly see difference in quality as well as pixelation.
Try recording at 1/2!

Tried. Quality looks better but i'm pretty sure that's not 120fps? Cos it's almost the same speed as a normal 30fps. Regardless, i think it's really poor. I hate to say this but iPhone 5S one looks way better even though it's not true 720p. And it can actually vary the speed, which is really nice.
Weird thing is the FHD 60fps look so much better that perhaps they should go for 120fps at FHD

I have the same problem.I would like to record 720p at 1/8.Isn't there any third party app that can help us or does it have something to do with hardware limitations?

[FACT] [Moto G 2014] [LG Nexus 5][Camera Sensor] [Camera 2.0 API]

The camera sensor 'Sony IMX179' used in the Moto G 2014 is the same as in LG Nexus 5.
As Nexus 5 has Snapdragon 800 and IMX179 sensor enclosed in a special rig it has Optical Image Stabilization. (OIS).
IMX179 is capable of shooting 1080p videos at 30fps & Snapdragon 400 (MSM8226) used in Moto G 2014 is fully capable of processing FHD 1080p video and has FHD encoder support.
Specifications
Type : Active Pixel CMOS
Pixel Size : 1.4 µm
Type : 1/3.2”
Effective Pixels : 8.08MP
Max FPS : 30
Aperture : f/2.0
Focal Length : 27mm
Also Google introduced 1 new API Lollipop onwards for Camera called Camera 2.0 API (android.hardware.camera2) that enables the device fully utilize the hardware and software & a complete manual control on the post-processing features of the image. Nexus 6 and Nexus 5 have Camera 2.0 API implemented in their stock ROMs.
The features that can be controlled using Camera 2.0 API to give far more superior quality images as compared to auto-mode.
Exposure time
ISO Sensitivity
Frame duration
Lens focus distance
Flash trigger
Color correction matrix
JPEG metadata
Tonemap curve
Crop region
AE / AF / AWB mode
AE / AWB lock
AF trigger
Precapture AE trigger
Metering regions
Exposure compensation
Target FPS range
Capture intent
Video stabilization
Motorola too was lazy to upgrade the phone software to enable FHD video recording and introduce Camera 2.0 API. It seems Camera 2.0 needs hardware support as well, will have to confirm it from reliable sources.
I have mailed Motorola of this issue, but still its has been 1 week 3 weeks, still no reply from them.
Hope this information is useful.

Thank you, this is interesting to know. Can you please confirm how did you come by this information, did you take apart your Moto G 2014, do you know if all variants of Moto G 2014 use the same camera? Can we update phone software - e.g. by using custom Sony Binaries/drivers in the custom built CM12?

IMO, All the variants of Moto G 2014 use the same IMX179. And you cannot update the phone software by using Sony's Binaries, they are device specific.
Meanwhile I have mailed Motorola about the same, I am now waiting for their reply

So i wonder what motorola is going to say about this

Just because the sensor is the same doesn't mean the camera module is. In fact, the G has different lenses than the N5 (different aperture sizes, too).
Also, I doubt Motorola was "too lazy" to enable 1080p recording. It's far more likely that this was a deliberate decision to prevent the G from cannibalizing their sales of higher-end models too much.

Interesting so does that mean that a dev could implement 1080p recording?

It's just apperture and lens. That doesn't change the fact they share the same camera module. IMX is the same for all phones.

Use the one from N5, it enable the option 1080p recording, but if i try to record a video it does not, it start and end in one second. when I check the 1 second recorded video is only 720p :silly:, I tested Moto camera, and google camera same result.
The name of the file is only ''media_profiles.xml'' i rename to know... to flash i flash with original name ''media_profiles.xml'' and put it on system/etc...
Of course that would not be so easy.

That gave me a brilliant plan. This is the right way of thinking. If possible, can someone use camera.msm8226.so (system/lib/hw/) from a 1080p enabled MSM 8226 chipset and try the same? A couple of Chinese phones and a Sony Xperia phone (don't know in which) has this.
Warning - this could screw the phone up. Backup and reflashing ROM will be necessary.

media_profiles.xml is a file that lets the OS know what types of encoders and decoders are present, & also usable for the device. By using one from Nexus 5, its letting the our OS know that 1080p HD is available, but when you open the camera, it doesn't have the library driver files to do so., & thus my post above. By getting driver file, it should technically have the capability to record, but if its also kernel related, the kernel also needs to be patched in accordance. But in the mean time, let's take this step by step.
Also, i dont think Motorola's gonna answer.

I believe this task is a little more deeper than just replacing files. I think we would need a proper kernel, since it's the bridge between hardware and software to make the current system "speak" with the new files. Because if system request something that was declared differently or wasn't declared with the replaced drivers/libs camera would stop working.
I think lib/hw is the real module blobs, vendor/hw it's the Camera HAL.

Okay, that's a decent explanation.
With that, we require Camera HAL of a Lollipop based MSM8226 chipset, preferably by Motorola. But, Moto G & G2 are d only known Lollipop Snapdragon 400 phones.
Can someone send me the .so file for lib/hw/ ? And if possible send me d HAL file of any MSM8226 phone? I want to test it anyways. No harm in doing that, right?

I don't think it's like that.
I think first we need N5 camera blobs and probably some reverse-engineering to make the files "fit" on G. These blobs are what makes the module turn on, focus, etc. Here, we're speaking on Hardware level.
The last thing is Software level, which is HAL. APP requests to HAL that requests to CAMERA.
Don't know if this is right.

Hmmm... Yeah. That's also there.

Okay guys so here is the update
I mailed the Motorola regarding this issue on 13th March, 2015, They assured that the mail will be replied within 24 hours.
Today is 17th March, 2014. Its been 3 days, still no reply from their side.

May be a bad news for some!!
I read a news article from GSMArena where it stated that even Samsung didn't implement all features of Camera API 2.0 in their Samsung S6 and S6 Edge. Considering it is a recent flagship and has more than enough oomph and still not given the benefits of Lollipop API's i seriously doubt Moto will do anything for Moto G. Moto X 2014 might have a chance and Moto X 2015 will have it more or less. Unless Moto releases resources for implementing Camera API or someone comes with a open driver solution or some dev creates a hack to enable the settings by Xposed i seriously doubt this will ever happen.

Tried contacting Motorola Support through the help app. Seems they don't have any information about this. So i have created a petition on https://www.change.org/p/motorola-k...r-moto-g-x-both-generations?just_created=true If anyone is interested kindly take part all we can do is ask Motorola for it.

To be honest, if we can do it, not a big problem insert it into CM and done =)
By the way, is there a way to modify drivers and make the software take movies at 60FPS (Since the Slow Mode is at 60FPS, but divided by 4 that gets 15FPS)

I read a news article from GSMArena where it stated that even Samsung didn't implement all features of Camera API 2.0 in their Samsung S6 and S6 Edge. Considering it is a recent flagship and has more than enough oomph and still not given the benefits of Lollipop API's i seriously doubt Moto will do anything for Moto G. Moto X 2014 might have a chance and Moto X 2015 will have it more or less. Unless Moto releases resources for implementing Camera API or someone comes with a open driver solution or some dev creates a hack to enable the settings by Xposed i seriously doubt this will ever happen.

Well, S6 is still to be launched. I believe the software they're running isn't 100% finished and polished, just like M9. Wait April 10, probably they'll add it on day 1 or some weeks later.

Why the Moto G4 Plus can't record at 1080p60?

Maybe some of you have seen the same question here in xda or in other forums, but I've researched deeper about the image sensor and it also supports 1080p60 video recording and even more! Actual recording is not even 30 fps, is 25 fps!
As you can see in the image

Why another thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/moto-g4-plus-1080p60fps-t3552528
PS: The recording is at 30FPS in a normal country like US.

First off, there are 3 threads about this on XDA already.
Secondly, unless you want to rewrite the drivers and modify the kernel for the G4+, then don't ***** and whine about not having a feature 98% of people don't use. Besides, the G4+ sensor, while decent, lacks any sort of stabilization (OIS/EIS), and 30fps is generally sufficient regardless.

Moreover, a bit of heating while using the camera on the phone is well known, don't know what will happen if one day by chance 60fps is enabled somehow

People then will cry why the device is getting so hot while recording 1080p60 and wants to fix this ASAP.
