Apparently I get to research this fun issue now. Anyways is there any correlation between choppy video play back and recording in low light situations?
The vids I'm recoding right now are in semi low light but I can still see what I'm recording, but during play back the video seems to pause then continue. Sometimes its very bad sometimes its just every once in awhile.
I have adjusted recording resolution and encoding but there wasnt any change.
Any ideas?

Ok thought i d post back with some findings.
I'm using a pc to actualy watch these vids to better look for issues and isolate at what point the pauses and glitches are introduced. It seems that its having a hard time actually making the video. Not play back, because my pc plays back the crappy video just as crapy as my evo.
I got the video to stop freezing and pitching. I'm not sure what fixed it but I believe it was fixed by running a check risk on my SD card.
I noticed that everytime I connected my Evo to my pc via usb and used removable storage mode my windows 7 would ask if I wanted to scan and fix or not. I was telling it no, but after I did thus scan my videos want back to being pretty clear and not choppy.
Thought I'd share my findings.

Is anyone else having an issue with their camcorder videos coming out unplayable through the gallery about a 1/3 of the time? i have full length videos with an exclamation mark popping up amongst other videos that i have.. but when i use a pc they play fine or they dont have an audio track. wtf? anyone else?
Yea. The same thing is happening to me. The old videos and all the old pictures i had installed as well would show up in the gallery with the little error image, until they just stopped showing up all together.
It happened after either slideroot2 or the newest slide radio update. I have been assuming its just a memory card issue caused by my computers media sync software being disconnected or something.
Are you rooted? on what?
Strange... I'm still on stock firmware from when I bought the phone.. I haven't rooted because I haven't seen a rom worthy of me doing so.. a few of my videos after they finish recording they jus become corrupt and unplayable even tho they were fine while recording.. one of them even had no audio track.. idk what's the problem
Searched but couldnt find anything except SE said that the video recording issues will be fixed in 2.3.3. So can anyone confirm they were fixed (freeze,stutter, audio sync etc.) Thank you
The video stutter issue was found when I was using an old class 2 micro SD card on 2.3.2. After I have changed to use a class 10 card from Transcend, the Burroughs recording issue wad not found (before update to 2.3.3), see if I have time to test back the previous slow card on my updated 2.3.3. But anyway I suggest you get a class 10 card since the system use the SD card heavily for storing application data, this will improve the system performance, especially the gallery appear, and seems pretty much everything.

hopefully it works..
I never experienced this in 2.3.2 but maybe because i changed to 16gb class 6 right after purchase
Confirmed as fixed, I have taken multiple videos with 2.3.3 and no glitches. with 2.3.2 I did have some.
i have not recorded much before 2.3.2, but made some recordings post 2.3.3 and no issues at all.
rumnyc, bustervic,
What is the class of card you use?

I thing class of card is not important in this moment because whatever card rumnyc used on Android 2.3.2 he had problems with recorded video and after update on Android 2.3.3 he don't have any problems. For me this issue is fixed. Personaly i didn't have any problems on Android 2.3.2 with recorded video.
So far I have not encountered any problems, have recorded 3 X 10min clips and have not seen or noticed any undue pausing as I did originally before updating to 2.3.3. Iam still using original 8Gb card that was supplied in retail package.

Poor playback of recorded video ??
Rather than start another thread on poor video recording I thought I'd ask for some help here. I have read all the XDA threads I could find on the problems of video recording but still don't understand where the Arc is at on this particular problem. I do have the 2.3.3 update (flashed UK O2 .145 firmware) - everything on the phone works great for me, except this problem.
Yesterday, I tried out video recording and while I was actually doing the recording I was very impressed. I was filming in a massive indoor barn where my kids were jumping during a horse riding lesson, so lots of movement and a little bit of moving the camera around in the video.
I liked the fact that I could see on the screen that the lens picked up most of the width of the barn, so I had to do little moving left and right with the camera. I got used to where the lens is positioned so didn't have any problems putting my finger in the way.
I watched the videos back on the phone straight afterwards - looked great. I was really pleased with the whole taking a video experience.
BUT, the problem is that when I transferred the videos on to my computer and tried to watch them, they are incredibly jumpy, lots of missed frames and jerkiness - nothing like playback on the Arc. Basically, they are unwatchable. I played them back in lots of different media players - all the same.
I recorded in HD, with and without image stabilisation, everything was really quick on the phone such as starting each recording, and the film was almost immediately available to watch once the recording had ended (something that even my old digital cameras couldn't do so quickly. I am only using a Class 2 Sandisk card but I don't see that can be the problem.
Please, if anyone can suggest a fix or explain what the situation is - I didn't even know there were recording issues on the Arc until I read that they were fixed with 2.3.3 (and thats what I have on the phone).
Thanks

Look Frenchdroid,dont worry u r are is prefectly fine as far as i know
u r camera is perfectly fine
they problem lies in your computer or lappy
i thnk your computer graphic card or hardware is not capable of playing 720p(HD ready) or 1020p(full HD) videos,thats why u r experiencing this problem of dropping frames and installing media players or updating codecs wont solve this problem but upgrading your computer hardware may do the trick...........
IF my post helped you use thanks button....
Hey - thanks for your reply. You know what ? You were right. I feel like an idiot but hey, at least I'm a bit wiser now I'm not used to all of these video formats and stuff like this.
do not worry we at xda , are like a family,always ready to help each other......
For a few months now it has seemed that video is hit and miss when I use the camera on my phone. Some videos will be just fine and others will suddenly pause or skip and the video falls behind the audio quickly. This issue has been across multiple roms for me at this point. I had read somewhere about A2SD causing issues like this but am not sure if that could be it. The memory card I am using is the one that comes with this phone running a ext3 for the A2SD.
Are you talking about playing back videos or capturing them? If you are talking about playback, what details are the files? What codec, resolution, bitrate?
Always better to run most audio/vid apps, of any kind, from internal memory and not sd, otherwise it is like trying to run internet on dialup speeds nowadays Compression is nice but something has to give...

Video captured from the camera on the phone. While taking the video everything seems just fine. And sometimes a 1 minute I take everything will be fine, other times just 30 seconds and the audio is way behind. The playback is always the same result if it be from the computer or the phone, so I assuming the issue must take place when recording.

I don't know of any way to change how A2SD handles this, from reading it doesn't seem most A2SD user's get hit with this issue.
My issue turned out to be having the swap not set to 0

Hi guys,
So I just got my GN a couple days ago and I've been LOVING it... but I just encountered a huge issue with video recording and I cant seem to find another thread that discusses this problem. I went to a Young the Giant show a few nights ago and recorded a few of their songs but when I went to watch them tonight, the video was normal, but the audio was sped up exactly 2x its normal speed. Once the audio finished, the video continues on the phone, but on the PC the windows media player errors out and closes the video. I have 6 videos which all do the same exact thing.
Has anyone else had this issue? I would really like to know if I just got a bad phone...
No, definitely i haven't seen anything like that by now. Seems like an issue with codecs.

I thought the same thing... but this is on the stock ICS rom. It is rooted, though.
Nope, no overclocking has been done. I simply rooted the phone, keeping the stock rom in place. Any suggestions for a third party video recorder?
Wow... thanks so much for the tip Acererak, it was the volume boost app! I was using Volume+ because the phone's max volume is just so low. I guess I'll have to find another method. Thanks!
Hi,
I just came from a concert and like every fan, I made a lot of videos through my GNex.
But in one of the best performances, for some weird reason, there is no sound. At first I thought it might be because of the size of the video (second biggest). But there is another one (biggest) with a higher size and it has sound without any issues.
Also all the videos before and after it have sound, just except THAT one. Man am I confused beyond measure.
Does anyone else has this issue? Is there a way to get the sound back on that video? I really want to get it working.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmmm... transfer it to your computer, and see if you can play it there? Idk what media player you use for your computer, but I recommend VLC Media Player, plays everything I throw at it, perfectly. Come back with results.

Actually I found that out on my PC once I had transferred all the videos. And with more digging, I found another video (from the concert) that didn't have sound. So its two from the pack. But it only happened in last night's videos, never happened before.
And I did use VLC to play 'em.
I've read some threads in Google about people complaining for this issue, but they see it more consistently than I do. If it indeed is a mic issue (faulty mic stops working in GNex) then I'm screwed. Didn't expect that to happen on a Google flagship.
But if you guys do have any suggestions to fix it I would be glad to hear 'em. (or find the sound file hidden somewhere in the crevices of android directory structure)
Also if this issue persists, could someone guide me to a Video recording app which shows you your mic equalizer (or spectrum) so that you know when the mic is recording and when its not. So that for videos where you don't see any movement on the mic spectrum you can restart and start taping again instead of losing that magical moment for all eternity... no thanks to you Google!
