I did some video recording today in bright sunny conditions and when i went to watch the clip back the video stutters at times and also the sound is out of sync.
Handset is sim free and standard with the standard 8gb card that came with the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
I am sure i have read somewhere about video recording problems with other handsets where the class of memory if not high enough i.e 6 plus that there are issues recording in hd.
any ideas?
Turn off "Image stabilizer" in video & capture video again Hope it works
I don't have the link handy but there is an audio sync issue on the arc that becomes more noticeable the longer the recording is. It was reported to SE support. Hopefully a fix will be released.
Here is a link
yeah i have the same problem and you can se other peoble with the same problem on this link go to talk.sonyericssondotcom
someone on another thread in here (think it might have been commodoor) suggested that it might be related to low internal storage.. I've installed "auto memory manager" which tweaks the andoid mem manager to keep more memory free - rather than killing active tasks - since I did that I haven't seen the problem (YET)!!.. have you noticed if you get this problem when you have low memory available?
thanks for all the replys
Well i have very vew apps installed on the phone at the moment but will check where they are stored and move them to the memory card if that is thought to help.
The video clip itself was only about 3mins max in length so that really shouldnt be an issue should it?
I will also try it with the image stabalizer off if thats thought to help.

I said it somewhere. again i had this when i just got my phone. But it can also happen if you have a slow sd card. Slow sd card was the problem at Nexus forum when we where able to record 720p with the nexus. it looks like the same issue. But with the standard delivered cd card ishould work great. i use a class6 16GB card so no issues with that.

Are you using the standard delivered sd card with your arc?
what also can happen is that you have to use the phone a while like couple of days ti get everything working right (so the dalvik-cache can build). after couple of days it will work great.
just noticed that the standard card i have is only a class2
that cant be right is it?

Yes, that's right
My Arc and Desire HD came with Class 2 cards too.
seems very low for a device to record hd to?

It is low indeed. i don't knwo why they put a class2 card, class4 would be a lot better.
I am using VGA modes now because of that
Hope it's only a matter of sdhc class...
pretty sure that class 2 should be quick enough to support HD recording...
EDIT - Depends on the compression rate - but Class 2 supports upto 2MB/s (16Mb/s) and most 720p, compressed, is likely to be less than 10Mb/s.. so should be fine.
Never had this kind of issue.video recording just fine. I usually upload to facebook.although I convert and resize it first.but both still fine

Keep having this problem with every video I record is starting to really annoy me.
im also having this problem.. but only with 720p recording.. no prob if using other settings..
I get camera freeze on mine with a class 10 32gb card :-(
Sent from Galaxy Tab.
have you tried clearing the internal phone memory before you record? I suspect that it's the way the system is caching and then writing out to SD, rather than the SD card speed.. If the Camera has more internal memory available then it may be ok? I did you couple of tests and it seemed ok.. (currently using Free Memory Manager - which manages the system using the in build memory manager, rather than killing tasks indiscriminantly.
I also have the problem even with class4 card...
I am using the stock provided Class 2 16GB card with no problems.
I use Auto Task Killer so I have a good amount of RAM available always.
I've been using sd rom builds since Aug 2010. The NexusHD sd build of Nov6 2011 has been the best I'd used hitherto, for example it had practically ZERO battery drain when going to bed at night and, setting at flight mode, only 2-3percent drop if on 2g only.
It was also the first build I used that recorded video at 720p. The videos were beautiful. However, it is unable to record (viewable) videos for longer than 10 - 16 min (it varies). Matching the size of the video (roughly at the time the recording begins to go wrong) approximates the size of the free RAM (usually btw 200 - 280mb), at least according to my observations.
This makes me think that the kernel (of the NexusHD) arranges things such that video data is continually stacked in the RAM and is only placed in the storage medium when recording is signalled as complete (instead of doing so during the very process streaming in the video data so as to free up the RAM and enable only the size of the destination storage medium - sd card or internal memory - to be the limiting factor).
Since I always want to have windows mobile as a bootable option in case of emergency access to files (- I use my hd2 for all my important stuff and am not always with my laptop) NAND builds are out of the question for me. However, the dorimanx kernel was said to solve this problem (and others) when used to replace the tytung kernel in the NexusHD NAND build in post 8716 on this page==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060&page=872.
So I have two requests: 1) Could an equivalent kernel for sd builds be pointed out to me? 2) How does one replace one kernel with another in an sd build?
Thanks a lot!!!
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 4G (I9505) with a 32GB external micro-SD card formatted as exFAT. I use this to record some seminars that takes often 0.5-1.0 hour. The video seems to stop after 30-45 minutes based on the video resolution, but always when the file size reaches 4GB.
I know that ex-FAT allows more than this. My device reads it fine and everything, but the camera app still enforces the limit. I'm using the stock app, on a non-rooted Android 4.2.2 (OTA update), the Samsung version not the Play one. It's also usually not a battery problem (battery is often above %50 after recording, and sometime it's in charger from laptop or power plug).
If I understand correctly, Android API allows overriding this limit and maybe making it unlimited, but I can't find any video recording application that does have this limit disabled. Can you suggest any?
Otherwise, if there is another custom ROM or whatever that I may install to get a modified stock app without the limit, I'd take that as an option, although obviously just recommending a 3rd party video recording app that overrides the limit sounds like a much less hassle (even for someone familiar with rooting and flashing, from my old Galaxy S 1 days).
Thanks a lot.
I tried Snap Camera but it seemed to have the same issue (stops at 4GB when saving to SD Card, which supports more as exFAT formatted. Other Suggestions?
Solution
Open Camera can split the file. Another one is called Secrete Video Recorder, but Open Camera is really what you're looking for. But notice that since the Kitkat update apps cannot save files to the SD card. Yes, that's what I said, Google decided that only their apps can record, everyone else can't. So if you haven't updated, don't, if you did, downgrade back to Jellybean.
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?
Hi All,
I encountered a problem recently after upgrade to the latest firm ware.
That is I cannot fully use my storage when recording the video (FHD, 60 fps)
For instance,
The system said I have 21.1 GB of storage, logically I can record up to 106 min video.(4 GB for about 21min)
But what I encountered is that my phone can only record up to 53 min video... either on the third party apps or on the samsung camera app has the same problem.
Do anyone have the same problem, or somebody know how to fix it?
Really thanks for help.
