1080p on any tw rom on this phone doesn't work. It can only record up to 720p. Hax
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

It works in mine but I'm on GB not ICS.

Works for me too. 720 is less apt to drop frames in my experience.

Huh?? Overstew, are you drinking? Every rom for this phone is TW aside from CM7/9 and so far they all seem to be recording in 1080p. Though 720p looks much better IMO, I really hate that zoom on 1080p.

That's what I'm referring to. 1080p isn't true 1080p because the resolution in which it records is no different than 480p. 720p is true 720p on this device.

Oh I see. I've never taken the time to do it but are there the correct number of lines of resolution on the 1080p video? Regardless, it seems like a cheat to increase the resolution on a smaller field of view than to give us the full widescreen image at the same resolution. I heard it has something to do with only part of the sensor being used for 1080p (the inner portion) so while it looks zoomed, it's really not. The bitrates are higher - for what it's worth.

Eh, if it's "true" 1080p, it's outdone by the 720p setting, which defeats the purpose of advertising 1080p.

Technically 1080p, realistically, not what you expect from 1080p recording.

Anybody upload to PC both 720 and 1080 of the same scene and does it still crop the 1080 when viewed on the PC monitor ,for example maybe we are not seeing the whole picture and the edges that got cropped will return when viewed on a hi Res monitor .. just a theory I hope is true

I'm pretty sure that when recording 1080p the preview window shows the 720p or (more likely) WVGA square in the center of the actual 1080p video. My theory is that it might be a little too much to ask to both record 1080p at a reasonable frame-rate and to do realtime scaling for the preview at the same time.
....when viewing my videos on my monitor they sure don't look as zoomed in and wacky as they do when capturing.
edit: The 1080p really does look fantastic if you have great lighting and DO NOT MOVE THE PHONE AT ALL. The scene can be very high motion, just don't move the scene....the tearing/warping is horrrrible.

has anyone else noticed this **** happens hella often? the first person to volunteer to try something always ends not being able to try it because there's something wrong with their phone. and then they either forget about it, or when they do try it they never post the results.
not doggin on overstew, i just see this happen all the time, and everytime i'm like "man, comethefuck on, every time!!"

I'm want to record the same scene with maybe a pole or other object on the edge of the screen ,play it on the PC and see if that pole is still on the edge of the screen but I'm still at work

Thank you,about mf time someone noticed that.
720 is real nice with almost zero lag.While 1080p has ghosting/lag effect with moving objects.
I had 3 different epics and they are all the same-1080 recording is uselless,they probably included that option to market epic but in real life it doesnt work good.

Yeah,it is nice if you filming some slow moving robots but beyond that the tear is horrible.I wonder if there a fix for it or maybe someone will make a camera mod that can record with higher resolition than 720p but not as high as 1080.
I noticed the lower the resolution,the less lag camera has.

720p video recording

Here is a short 1 minute video taken outside my house so you guys can see how well the recording is. keep in mind the files is compressed massively just 52 MB for 1 minute
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRpWn50FVwM&feature=player_embedded
Looks good to me!
heres one from inside with less light so you can see the quality difference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0J9axC99Wc
Inside is a lot more blurry but that's expected, people were saying that it was complete crap, but i'm impressed.
Have to admit, I'm not too impressed by this camera, definitely not the quality they were making it out to be...but honestly when is it ever as good as they say it is?
I am underwhelmed as well with the Hype vs Reality. I understand the ratio is always eschew but in this case it came with a bit of surprise.
The only saving grace here would be if the bitrate can be changed by us once rooted.

Changing the bitrate would be nice. I'm personally hoping a third party app comes along that does a better job at capturing video.
At this stage, i honestly would never use 720p video capture from the EVO. It just seems kind of pointless.
Hey OP, any way you can take video at different resolutions so we can compare the difference?

im sure once the developers make 3rd party apps its going to be 1000000x better but thats just my thoughts.
Doubt it. HTC and cameras have never been a good mix. Shame really, once again HTC makes a great device with a ****ty cam.
Video looks horrible. I really wish HTC would team up with either Nokia or SE and learn how to make better cameras. I would gladly pay an extra $50 for a real camera with lens cover.
Doesn't really matter to me. If I need to take high-quality pictures or videos, my phone isn't what I would plan to use. For impromptu photos and quick videos, I am sure this will be fine for me.

Hey love the magnum! i know off subject. but, i'm a fan of the maggie and lx platforn period. how's gas mileage? sxt correct?
I don't trust any of the videos I've seen yet. I will make the final determination when the phone is plugged into my tv. Also I wouldn't be surprised if you can encode video in different formats and get better/worse quality.
hey shakuyi, can you get us some stills? the frame-rate on the video is borderline worthless. 480p does seem more real-time to me. i'm interested to see what inside/outside stills look like.
thanks man! good work!

Droid incredible getting 720p recording - Will desire follow?

What do you think, is HTC going to give us some of that HD recording goodness? If they don't sure enough someone here is going to figure a way to port it
2.2 will bring HD
Froyo HD lol
720 should be implimented, it will definately boost sales with a feature like that in a camera phone

we already know the desire is capible of 720p video recording, once we get our new radio with froyo is shud be pretty simple
I saw the news in http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/droid-incredible-ota-update-said-to-be-bringing-mobile-hotspot/ and really got exited that there is a good chance that we gonna see 720p video recording on our desires.
btw I saw a difference between Desire's and Incredible's camera - the later has a 8 megapixels camera. I know this won't stop htc to put hd video recording in desire, but it is a reason not to. Let's hope not.
HD is useless unless FPS can stay at 25+ ALL THE TIME regardless of light conditions.
Audio quality should be vastly improved, ditch the 2005-ish AMR-codec...
Bitrate for video should at least be doubled to get rid of blocking...
the 5 Mgb camera is 720P capable ...
When a Device doesn't record @ 720 it's because of it's CPU , and since the snapdragon is capable of that , then WE would get it via update...
( as the nexus one did )

for starters 420p dosent qualify as hi def and 2nd its more than just a number it denotes the amount of pixels 720p = 1280x720 witch is obviously a much higher quality/resolution than 420p (704x480) so wtf lol

let me try and put it a bit different,
me, and the op, would rather have GOOD SD quality than crappy HD, people tend to asume that HD is all about the resolution, it's not, it's a lot more about bit rate.
say you have [email protected] and [email protected], witch one is going to look better? 480p, why? cos you are using 8mbit to store less pixel so less compression, to call something HD in my book you need 1080/720p, and at least 12 mbit for 720p, and 18 Mbit for 1080p
Hm idont quiet agree with you.
HD IS (not ALL!) about resolution. Thats why today everything with HD sells. People see HD, and think its great. But as you said its more about the image quality itself.
But its not a very fair comparison between 480 and 720p you made. SUre 480 looks better, but on a smaller screen (with native res.) but if you have a bigger screen, 480p has to bee scaled up, or stretched and then it looks maybe identical or even worse to the 720p Video.
Not to say that i would appreciate the innovation that the Desire gets 720p recording at a very usable bitrate :/
I hope you get my point, since im german and caged in foreign language

Agreed. I'm also concerned about the amount of FPS we could get .. anything below 20-25 and HD is useless me thinks ..
[email protected]@10mbit would be fine by me if h.264 was used, but h264 on the fly is a bit too much for snapdragon, so h.263 and a bit rate of say 12 mbit would be ok... but then you would need a very good sd card... about scaling you will almost never get 1:1 pixel mapping... tv's tend to have 1368x768 or 1920x1080, pc monitors are also over 720p.
its not a video recorded it's a phone, and if it gets a half decent support for video we should be happy but i don't expect anything from that,
i like big sensors, a 5 mpx dslr is 10 times better than a 15 mpx point and shoot camera, why? sensor size. phones are just too small to be good

It's not your phone it's youtube it's self. Youtube has always lagged on 1080p videos. My desktop has problems with it and I have 8 gig ram. Intel i7 sandy bridge with AMD Radeon HD 6990. Ever since youtube upgraded their interface it has been plagued with problems. My connection is 20 down 5 up.
The phone can run hi 10bit 1080p blue ray h.264 mkv videos with the lowest and highest encode possible with out losing frames. Which looks better than anything you can possibly stream. There is nothing on youtube worth watching in 1080p most videos are upscaled anyway. Which really isn't 1080p anyway.

The default for h264 1080p is 12000000 (12Mbps). From a quick search it looks like the bitrate for the iPhone is 25Mbps.
Two values need to be changed:
Bitrate for 1080p in camera 0 section and the max bitrate of the h264 codec lower down in the file.
Setting it to 25 crashes the camera. 20 works and is confirmed to be working when checking video properties in Windows.
The quality improvement is questionable. Still looks like **** compared to iPhone 1080p samples I saw on YouTube.
The 1080p videos on the Nitro almost look like they're interlaced! Anyone else notice this?
More importantly we need to fix the spastic focus asap!

I just noticed that when selecting 1080p, it creates videos with the wrong resolution - 1920x1088 (instead of 1920x1080). Perhaps there is some wonky scaling going on in the vertical resolution which is what is causing that banding effect.
And yes, I am also seeing the same "interlacing" effect in videos I take with my phone. The effect does not appear at 720p or 480p.
The framerate is so abysmal at 1080p, I don't know why I'd ever use it anyway. 720p seems pretty good though.

I've never attempted to take a video before on my phone. Right now my camera app won't even open, haha. I'll let you know when I can manage to make it work...

I've seen the 1088 vertical resolution on other phones, doubt that's the problem. Maybe someone who knows a lot more what's going on can chime in.
Shouldn't both 720p and 1080p be 30fps when it comes to framerate?

Should be, yes, but I was only getting under 10fps in my test videos. I dunno if I'm doing something wrong.
Yes that's definitely not normal. Check that you're actually set to video and not "time lapse" which is an option on the camcorder.

Good question, it'd be nice if someone would upload a sample!

I attempted to take a video on my Nitro HD running the ICS leak.

Note it really wasn't that sunny it seems to apply lots of HDR or something similar.

Sweet! Thanks for that. Looks like the lens is oily??
Don't seem to see any interlacing effect so that's good.

Alright i cleaned off the lens so hopefully this is a better test video.

Short slow motion video captured on my galaxy note 2

Hi I just uploaded a very short slow motion video to youtube of my dog catching a biscuit.
Grab your popcorn and get comfy...

why's the resolution so low?

Coz that's the resolution the slow mo is available at, you can't set it higher than 720x480.

I did trim the video with the inbuilt trim feature in the video edit option it saved the video as 3gp could this have lowered the quality? Im not to clued up on this stuff but I thought it normally records in mp4 so either the trim option has converted it to 3gp or possibly slow mo is captured in 3gp to keep down the file size?
Ive just checked and the video trim has resaved the video in 3gp it was originally captured in mp4 not that this appears to have made much difference to the quality.
Im guessing at 8x slow mo it is recording at 240fps and because of the high frame capture there has to be a reduction in quality to make it possible.

It still wouldn't affect the quality of the video by much in the Note's screen.
It won't be good only when viewing in a computer or tv in full screen.
I hear people are not that pleased with the slow motion resolution but personally I think its great for a bit of fun. Sure not good enough for a professional production but its not meant for that. On the phone it looks fine... it was my favourite feature on an old LG viewty I had years ago and wow the resolution on that in slow mo mode was bad this looks crystal and very impressive in comparison. I know you cant really compare the 2 but it shows how nicely things have moved on.

This feature is not meant for serious work, it's just a gimmick, a toy to enhance movierecording in the phone. If you really want you can bump up the resolution to full HD on the computer via thirdparty plugins in After Effects or Premiere Pro.

If you thought it would be different you had unreasonable expectations. A GoPro 2, which has a much larger sensor than the Note 2 and more dedicated hardware, can do 120FPS at 848x480p. $3500 DSLRs like the 5D Mk III can't even take video at more than 30 FPS! To think that a cell phone camera could take high resolution, slow motion video is just ignorant.
Whatever, I like this slow motion thingy.

Can you or any one else post slow mo videos somewhere else cause youtube is blocked in my country?
you guys need to get off the n2's nuts.
i didn't know it's so taxing on hardware for video to be recorded in slow motion. that is disappointing.
it's an interesting feature but it seems counter productive to the huge screen of the note2 since it can't be viewed in hd on it.
Here is my test on the slow motion function.
Have fun!
(Since I cannot post outside links yet, here is the info for the video
vimeo(dot)com(slash)62170068
Youtube(dot)com(slash)watch?v=TnMH_N2fSOA
Notes: When I was editing the video I saw some blur on the images, this makes me think that the camera don't actually captures 240 frames per second, but instead what it does is duplicate some of the frames and create a ghosting effect.
I need to do more technical tests to see the actual capture rate frame of the camera.
Can anyone try something for me? Can you grab the camera apk off the note 2 so I can try it on the samsung mega? The mega does not have, irritatingly so, the slow mo feature. Has to be the 4.2 camera app version since the mega is running 4.2. Thanks.

You can't adjust the Resolution at all.
It's always 720*480 for Note 2 and S4 Zoom; 800*450 for S4 and for Note 3; and S5, Z2, F7, K Zoom(aka S5 Zoom) and the newer ones, it's HD 1280*720p.
