Looking for a HQ video recording app - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I am looking for a HQ video recorder application for my HTC Evo 4G. I currently use tap-a-talk for HQ audio recording which works great, any ideas for video other than the stock camcorder?

There really isnt any better solution. The bottleneck in the bad recoding is the codec that android uses for 720p.

Bummer.....so there is virtually no way to load a different codec on my device? I am able to record HQ audio not using HTC's recorder app but a third party app. Is that not using a different codec?

If tour good at coding its highly possible.

Also, Kernels Make A Big Difference.

Well good ol kernel #17 was great but I don't think It's compatible with 3.70. If it is, I need it.

wow, its my 2nd post.. lol .Anyway i tried using tape-a-talk audio recorder, and yes it works great. So then i tried to mix it.
First i start the record on tape-a-talk. then i press home button so the recording still continue. After that.. i open the camcorder app, in setting i choose record without sound (if choose with sound, the camcorder will force close). Finally i edit it on PC, a little trim on the audio, using a video audio merger, i sync the audio within the video. Voila.
The problem was.. the laggy video, very hard to sync the audio and video.
I guess i'll buy a new microsd class 6 or 10, hopely it'll improve the video quality.

Can anyone confirm that 720 video can not work with 3.7 ? If this is the case then I may have to go back to a previous sense based rom.

[Q] Video recording HD

Anyone can make an app for record video in HD (720p) or dvd quality widescreen? i think the hardware it's ok! it will be fantastic!!
I think you dont just need an app but a proper driver for the cam if its even possible.
Thought that Defy already is recording in 720, isn't it ??
no, now only 640*480! i hope it will upgraded from a mighty android-man!

My videos always play just fine when I record in portrait or landscape. I have not run into a ROM that has given me those kind of issues.
damn tried reformting sd card. but still doesnt work.
maybe its the video player? because the video plays on your phone right?
My wife had this problem cm7, it was really weird, the only way I could get it to play was to download rock player and I had to navigate to the directory and open the file with something like file expert and then select rock player.
But this was on the phone not on a computer.

You can receive video calls using unlocked Skype 2.0.47 version from xda but as far as I know you can't send video from your own phone. I have black image from my camera (G2 with 02/07/11 CM nightlie) when video calling with other person using Windows version of Skype. Really good receiving video quality over wi-fi, though.

Can u provide a link to that unlocked skype
Edit
Found but working only ina way
On the beginning call so see my camera when call is revived I see only other can and my one is black
So received video is working but my one is not
G2 with lastest cyanogen nightly stock kernel and Oct to 1.5

yah same here i tried the unlocked version from xda and i can see the other person from a pc and from an iphone but video isnt working on my side (black screen)
It won't work since Skype wants its video stream from a front camera. Which we ain't got. If it can be done on an N1 and it doesn't work on ours, maybe its calling in a weird way.
New build for Desire HD works well on G2/Desire Z with CM nightlies.
Here's the link to working version:

Nor working with every rom. I suppose it depends of the base used.
i downloaded the official skype from the market, and i made a successful 2 way video call from lebanon to canada... it was awesome, no lag, no problem
Try qik
Works but uses rear cam

Worked fine when I was on stock OTA gingerbread, I skyped my girlfriend for about an hour but it was pretty silly with no front facing camera , haven't tested it with CM 7.1 yet.
I didnt get problems in the past using CM 7.1 with that

Video Chat LOL

I was doing some video chat with a friend of mine in CA last night.
She was on a iPhone 4 and I was on my Epic Touch running on 4g here in Columbus. The quality of the front facing camera is insane!! She honestly thought I was using my desktop and HD camera vs her Wifi front facing.
If you are looking to do video conferencing with this phone you CANNOT go wrong. You have an amazing quality video output!
What app were you using?

I'll have to check that one out - Hopefully it's also available for iPhone =)
Honestly, the gtalk video chat works better than anything I've ever used...its not smart enough to scale up quality when on a really good connection, but the performance over 3g is insane. I don't think you could find a better app to use over a 200kb up/down connection lol

Hey guys,
I just downloaded Skype on Sprint epic touch 4g, but no video option on skype. How do you get video chat with skype???
Also, how do you use Gtalk video? I use it from my laptop but what do i need to download to get this working on the phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
Skype > Menu > Settings > Enable Video Calling
it comes stock off.

Talk with video?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to flash a version of Talk with video support for the WFS? Or can our little phone not support it?
Even if Talk with video support runs on the WFS it will be of no use........you would need a front camera for video calling and there is not an application that allows you to use the back camera for video chatting(Certainly would want it )
Long story short..........It's no use
Apparently, Yahoo Messenger with Yahoo Video chat plugin works (Uses Mic+Camera from the back) (About 28mb in total Alot of storage memory....) , Skype also works with mic and camera from the back
(Less storage)...
