Today I noticed I am unable to edit videos in the photos app and I have traced the issue down to the video coding. With the H.265 option when I try to trim a video I get an error message saying "unable to save changes". A file is created with a .mp4.tmp extension that is not playable. When I switch back to H.264 the resulting videos trim fine.
Can anyone else confirm they have the same issue? I'm surprised Google have this option in their camera app for it to be unsupported in their photos app.

Just speculating here, but H.265/HEVC is really not meant to be edited. It's highly compressed and hardware intensive for editing programs to de-encode so you can edit then re-encode. You're better off shooting videos that you know you're going to edit later on in H.264/AVC. I learned this the hard way after recording some footage in HEVC and both Sony Vegas (Sony Vegas straight up didn't support it) and DaVinci Resolve had a very hard time with it despite the hardware in my computer.
Probably not the answer you want to hear but you're asking a lot of your phone's hardware to edit HEVC encoded media. Record in AVC, edit, re-encode in HEVC.

I have to disagree here because I'm able to trim H.265 videos using other apps without issue. I would have just preferred to do it all in one app rather than have multiple apps installed with annoying pop up ads etc...
I've had this issue on Pixel 3 XL also, took a clip and tried to trim using Google Photos app and always got unable to save.
This is pretty stupid if you can't trim when on H.265

why on earth does the g1 not capture video?
???? street view.. yes? video capture..no?? wtf
There will be a 3rd party program within a week that can record video. Jailbroken iPhones do it, the G1 is completely open... No worries.
g1 recording video
I think ( *think* ) the reason is that qualcom and broadcom are in a legal dispute over some aspects of H.264 encoding in hardware and until till that is cleared up, no "official" recording apps will be made.

Yeah, I never said official. I just know there are plenty of people out there who want it, so developers will throw a program together in no time.
G1 Video File Formats...?
I have a trip coming up, with lots of airport connections/layovers. I used to convert video files and copy them to microSD cards for playback in my WinMo device. Will I be able to do this on my G1? What, if any, file formats will it support?
From what I can read, it plays videos with a YouTube player; can I somehow use that...?
youtube's format is flv you can try to convert to that
other then that it support whatever formats people develop
players to support
Does the g1 support video output?
Well...does it? It would be very convenient if it did. :-D
the G1 does not have video out at this time.
well duh....i was thinking more along the lines of the hardware. the chipset has to be able to output video using the ext-usb cable thing...
only way is over tcp/ip. But there are no apps for that yet.
it could be like a vnc server or video streaming.
but how would it be convenient?
Every attempt i have had at playing a video ends up in the same scenario....
My video will play for 3-4 second then begin to lag out and then i get a error saying sorry this video cannot be played.
no one has any advice?
Anyone having the same issues?
try encoding you videos using the instructions posted in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441063
works perfect for me.
will this be required for every single video on my g1?

unfortunately yeah for know until there is an update that supports other video formats i know it kinda sux
but the encoder found in that thread is pretty fast depending on the length of the video. also most mobile sites that stream 3gp vids work on the g1
What sucks is handango has a video player and converter for sale for the g1. I was all set to buy it but i tried downloading free trial and it says it is not intended for this device, DENIED!!!!
I have like 7 movies including the dark knight all run on mp4 and run great with video player from the market

you can go to WAREZ SITES ARE NOT ALLOWED and search for "iPod" and filter by video
all those videos that show up should play on the G1 using Cinema or other Video Players. This is NOT legal however and NO ONE SHOULD DO IT and I AM NOT ENDORSING OR RECOMMENDING IT. There is no Divx player that I know of and there may not ever be as playing mp4 and h.264 is extremely simple but Divx/xvid will need software decoding.
The battery in the G1 is MUCH MUCH less than your old WinMo, the battery is physically 1/3 of the size so expect 2 hours of video from disconnecting from the charger. May be more on plane mode and lower screen brightness, BT, Wifi, GPS all off.
The G1 has always had audio and video codecs for playing MP4 vids, put Google did not create a player interface to use it.
The three apps on the market now are interfaces that should have been in the player in the first place.
Mega lame times infinity squared.
This is the app that I use to convert my dvd's,it works like a charm,I recommend mp4/h624 and 320x176,it'll be around 250/300mgs which is nice for a G1 screen...of course it could be 500 or 700mgs and the quiality will be better.

I recorded a movie with hd2 in mpg4 format.
And i wanted to put in on youtube, but there is a problem.
Movie recording in 60fps which makes a problem on YT uploading.
Tried to convert it to other format but most converting software speed up movie (possibly dropping frames as need to be a 25fps)
Any way to change FPS in registry for this format? Or change some option to record in 25FPS but still in mpeg4 format??
only i have hd2 in this forum?
last bump
have mercy
thanx for help
How did you get it to record 60fps?
I don't have that option on mine.
i belive its an auto option without setting switch.
If you check it with some editing software i says 60fps.
Youtube dont let u upload that format.
And thats why im lookin for a registry hack.
Sounds more like you have a corrupt file than an issue with settings as it isn't automatic. Mine is standard and reports between 13 and 29.99 frames a second...
Corruption is not possible, all my videos are recorded in this format
I know that there are conflicting reports as to what plays and what doesn't through the HDMI port.
I finally bought a cable. I plugged it in to my phone and the TV. The tv automatically switched to "480p" and goes black (like it is about to do something). But it stays black. For anything.
Also, someone told me that there should be a little "HDMI" icon in the stop left of the phone when it is plugged in. I don't have this on my phone. Nothing happens on my phone at all.
I have 3 HDMI inputs on my tv. It's a viewsonic, if that matters.
Can somebody please help me diagnose this problem?? This is one of the reasons that I bought the phone.
Thanks for any help.
Have you tried the YouTube and Gallery apps? Those are supposed to be the only apps that work.
Only having YouTube and the gallery work with hdmi is another reason to be pissed off about the dos cap. HTC really thought watching YouTube clips were so important that they needed to limit the screen for it?

Dumb question, but just so i'm clear. I have a ripped version of a movie on my phone.. i "should" be able to play that via the HDMI cable using the video gallery app right?

Apparently not.
I have a HDMI cable and a sony bravia and I get 720p and 480p perfectly fine. I encoded some of my blurays to 720p with handbrake and they play perfectly and amaze everyone I show it to. Some things to take note of the video player cant access any movies over 2gb so I just split them since some movies like Avatar can take up 2.5gb alone at 1280x720p using x.264 codec at 60% constant quality and 128 AAC for the audio.

Only slightly off topic, so I will post here. Care to share your handbrake settings for encoding, in further depth than what you posted above? I have read every darn post/thread on the forums and even on internet for handbrake encoding that will work for movies on the EVO, but I fail everytime. I'm thinking it might be decrypting issue, but can't validate that. I get audio, and pixelated video that looks like it might be the copy protection messing with me. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 machine, and have the DVD43 plugin in the background for decryption, but still can't figure it out. Ideas? Point me in the right direction? Sorry if this is too off topic...It relates to the way I want to try and use my HDMI cable...
Sure i use AnyDVD HD for my background decoding and I always rip the movie first to my harddrive using ClownBD http://www.clownbd.com/ that way I have a single M2TS file to work with and it really seem to be faster for me this way as I also keep the uncompressed versions for my home computer system.
Handbrake settings are as follows
Container: mp4
Picture settings: width 1280
Notes: your gonna have to play with aspect ratio settings sometimes because of cropping and ratio settings the video will sometimes want to drop below 1280 to keep aspect ratio what you have to do is set anamorphic to custom then modulus to 16 and set the display width to 1280 you really have to play with the settings and do tests encodes of 3 minutes or so to find the right settings I have only had to do this with one movie so this will not always be the case often your encode will be straight set width to 1280 and check keep aspect ratio and set anamorphic to none.
No Filters
Video: X.264 codec, same as source FPS, constant quality 60.78% RF:20
note: some people have used 2 pass encoding and 1500 bitrate I haven't tried this yet since this is the old way of encoding video files using the x.264 codec but the developer on Handbrakes website had some suggestions himself that the codec is actually better off using a 1pass quality setting so that's what I have been doing since he released the newest version.
Audio: select your source track AAC codec and Dolby Pro Logic II Mixdown sample rate auto and bitrate 128 or 160 doesn't matter just don't go over 160
No Subtitles or chapters or advanced stuff needed from here start encoding and it works. Once your movie is done if it's larger than 2gb than youll need to either split it using another piece of software or try lower quality settings on your encode.

Thanks P. I'll give that all a shot. I suspect it's an encrypting issue that I'm experiencing, so I'll start by trying AnyDVD, and proceed to try the other steps from there.

No problem let me know how it goes if you need any other help send me a PM
Excellent encoding tips, P_Dub_S, you should make a thread on this subject.
Just want to add something that I found out while making 720 rips of some BD movies, the Android player supports only AVC baseline profiles. This could explain why some people are having problems making playable videos. So for those using Handbrake (or any other MP4 compressor), make sure you don't use B-Frames or CABAC entropy coding. If this sounds confusing, just select the iPhone preset in Handbrake first, then make the changes P_Dub mentioned.
I also noticed the output range of the HDMI port is full range (0-255) rather than the more common limited range (16-235) that most consumer HDTVs still default to. So if the video looks overly contrasty (black crush), you might want to check on the HDMI level setting of the TV. If the HDMI driver ever gets re-written, it would be nice to have the output levels selectable on the phone.
HDMI used to work and not anymore
HDMI used to work on my EVO but for whatever the reason is I can get it to work anymore. Does anybody having the same issue and/or having a solution?
How about some details?
What ROM are you using?
What software do you have running?
Have you tried other TVs, other devices on that TV's HDMI connection?
My problem was a task killer, as soon as I rebooted the phone without running a task killer, HDMI out worked.
I am using Rom version 3.26.651.6. It used to work on my Samsung tv and no longer working. I even tried on a Panasonic tv and a gateway monitor with hdmi and no luck. I tried both YouTube and video record directly from the phone. I called Sprint and they are anxious to send me a replacement so not sure if it's a known issue with the EVO. I have the same issue on both phones. I will try Phancy suggestion tonight.
Some kernels break hdmi as well, should check the thread for your rom/kernel your using for issues, what works, what doesn't,etc... if your root.

Came across this tutorial for preset to convert your HD videos for the Atrix.
http://www.knowyourcell.com/motorol...d_transfer_them_to_the_motorola_atrix_4g.html
So does anyone think this is weird that dual core has to go through converting software while my galaxy tab and nexus s can run all my ha qualities from jetvd and tubemate without a hitch ....will there be updates that will help with video playback
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
^same outcry from xoom users
So far I'm not that impressed with the video playback of the Atrix, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see what the 1080p update brings with it.
Attached is a Handbrake preset that I've tweaked for the Atrix. I tried various settings and these are it.
I keep getting an error
I tried your settings and messing with a bunch of them. I can watch in in VLC on the pc, but no matter what player I use on the atrix I get "file cannot be displayed or played"...any thoughts?
Strange. I encoded a DVD movie, BBC Top Gear episodes (from XVID) and a couple of other stuff, all worked perfectly for me.
Under the advanced tab, try setting the reference frames to 0 and slide the Psychovisual Rate Distro slider all the way to the left.
Have you try Vital Player? It seems to play almost or a lot of stuff Im throwing it.
Curious, have any of you got a good rip from Ripbot 264? I have a couple of Blu Rays I've converted via MakeMKV, but then I need to run them through something else. These are in a VC1 format and Handbrake doesn't recognize them. Ripbot264 does but I can't get a good file out of it. Any help with the presets? I got a good one the first time, but it cropped out a lot... (my fault on the settings I think) and the 2nd try I set it to make an mkv, another oops as the atrix won't read it.

Did you change the container to mkv, because the Atrix seems to hate mkv.
Bit of a bump but anyone had luck with this?
I tried above instructions, also made sure I started off with the 'normal' profile not high profile, still nothing plays. Is this the whole 'tegra2 can't play hi profile x264' thing, if so how do I get handbrake to output baseline?

After Blu Ray conversion via MakeMKV I've been running the files through the 'Badaboom 2' transcoder (using the AppleTV preset).
I did have to switch to 'MoboPlayer' because the 'Act 1' video player I was using would not play the AppeTV files.
thanks very much
After much experimentation I figured out the key is to encode in x264 baseline NOT normal or hi profile.
Basically use the same presets as iphone 3gs in terms of x264 parameters (not resolution etc.) and it will play.
A bit pathetic really since it can push jaw dropping 3D games but not video encoded with a spec that's pretty much mainstream. I'm not even talking about 1080p. Just be nice to be able to drop a typical 720p x264 rip in and play. DIsappointed
I have combed around but possibly in wrong areas of the vast internet to try to find a solution or answer, so here I am lol.
My question is if anyone knows of a way or how to get our awesome recorded videos on our 7.0 + V20's
to trigger HDR on our Tvs (if compatible).
The videos supposably are recording in HDR as it shows for a few when after rec start.
I for the life of me cant figure out the file or lib to be able to use. Libs I am kinda blind on coding anyway.
If there is a certain container needed I wonder what?
We have h264 and Hevc but it dont matter it seems.
I guess my main question is if this is even possible with a mobile recorded phone to trigger hdr on the tv?
I am on LS997-7.O
Thank you for taking time to read my wondering.
