I have started to use my XDA's video camera facility whilst out and about. The camera only records in MP4 format.
Is there a way of shooting in .mov or .mpeg mode - failing that, is there an app out there to replace the standard 'camera' app on the XDA?
If you go to camera settings and choose video, does the capture format not drop down and allow you to choose "Motion-JPEG AVI"?
Have you already checked these settings? It's the first thing I would do.
Cheers

yes, but...
The jpeg/avi option takes up a lot of storage per clip.
.mov or .mpeg would be better as I want to use the clips on my website.

I've captured some slow motion video on the G3, but when I try to export it anywhere, or play it in another player it just speeds up to normal speed.
Surely this can't be right. It should save the video to be played exactly how you see it in the native player on any other device.
Does anybody know how to get it to stay as slow motion even after you've exported it, or save it as seen in slow motion?
To let you know I have done a search for this issue within xda, and it doesn't show any related threads. Has nobody experienced this issue?

Hi,
Your Video is fine. Just use a Player like VLC and reduce the playback speed.
Thats how slomo works!

Thanks, I thought it would be better if it actually slowed the footage down as a saved file (like on the Xperia Z2), then at least you could post it to a shared website and show off your creation. Is there no way to do that?

Check the PlayStore - there must be an app for that Good Luck! If you find something, share it!
The HTC One (M8), Sony Z2 and iPhones have a video editor that can slow down parts of a slow motion video, while keeping the rest of it at normal speed.
Has anybody found a similar app on the Play Store?
Or even, has anybody managed to make the Sony or HTC app work on other devices like the G3?
EDIT: The Sony Z2 app is called "Timeshift Video".
Im looking for this too.
Its crazy - shows slowmo video in gallery app - but with normal speed in Photos app
What are you guys taking slow motion video of anyway bouncy boobs lol
It doesn't matter what you take a slomo video of, the point is that the phone doesn't let you save the movie in a way that can be played in other devices. Surely it should do that.
I've seen a few slomo videos on YouTube made on the LG G3, how have they done that, if you can't actually save the video as the slowmotion version?
Surely, you'd want to show off various or interesting slomo videos to friends and family, so there must be a way to do it. I've looked for an app, but surely it should be native on the phone?
e.g. on my old HTC EVO 3D, the 3d videos were stored as 3D to see on a 3D TV for example if saved on a USB. Surely if you save the SloMo video to a USB you should be able to see the video in its slow version on a TV. Is this something that LG overlooked, or is there something that we're all missing on the phone?
The recorded video file is ~120 fps:
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 119.659 fps
Minimum frame rate : 116.732 fps
Maximum frame rate : 122.783 fps
To see it in slow motion you would have to set it as 30 fps on a computer and save it again. No need to recompress it or anything (so no quality drop at all) but you need this extra step to play it back on a device where you cannot manually slow it down.

Thanks for that info, I wish thought that the phone natively did that, so there was no need for that extra step, I think LG are missing a trick there.
@Bad4ss

The most simple way I know is to use mkvtoolnix (free, open source and works on windows/linux/mac)
Open the GUI, drag or add the file you want to work on, select the video track, go to format specific options and select your desired fps. Then press "start muxing".

Thanks; upgraded from 6.2 to 7.1 and mixed away. Video worked well but audio didn't seem to work out well
When I shot something in slomo on my Galaxy S4 the resulting video was slomo in all viewing apps or when uploade to facebook or youtube. only being able to view it in slomo in the LG gallery app is dumb. As much as they advertise the G3 as a great photo device the camera app actually sucks balls. Samsungs camera app is light years better and IOSs blows them both out. It still baffles me that android has no tap exposure and lock capability....
Is there an app that will save the lg g3 recorded slow mo videos and directly share them so everyone can see the videos in slow mo?
When uploading videos in youtube you get an option to increase or decrease default video playback speed.

I use an app called Lapse it Pro to import the file then render and save it at 20fps. After rendering..I'm able to share it as a video file
Well, I have read stuff about the Nexus 5x saving upside down images/vids with 3rd party apps that didn't use API correctly, but today I saved a video, which looks OK on the device, but when I send it to the PC.. it is upside down.
Is this common? it has any fix? can I fix the vid somehow?
If this happens to the stock camera... what the **** Google..
I've read somewhere that it's normal, the sensor it's upside-down so it puts a flags for apps to turn it around.. the problem is that I tested any program on Windows (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC, WMP, etc..) and ALL of them show the video upside-down...

Hmm, I downloaded the last version from hpc hc yesterday and it was still upside down. What is that madvr render stuff? Some sort of plugin? This is interesting because if this works im keeping the n5x, if not im returning it (because I want the video reproduced well on pc)
Thanks!
No special settings. Just set madVR as default renderer and launch video by double-click. At least it working in my rig with external GPU. Here is also the feature request in mpc hc trac: https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2202.
How has google/LG not come up with a better fix for this? Two of my apps that use the camera (Stampt and Chase Mobile Banking) show the video upside down. It is extremely annoying. I realize that the app *should* be updated to the latest API, but if you make upside down hardware YOU should be the one to fix it, not force everyone else to conform.

Works! Thanks a lot!!!! Too bad madVR lags some the video reproduction (specially when returning from full screen) , I don't know why I have to move to such thing just for this device. I hope MPC-HC adopts it soon!!

Google. They didn't even use the API how they say on most of their apps. Google is the enemy of nexus lately.
Another option in MPC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) besides MadVR is to rotate the video while playing. Use the following the shortcuts (alt + numpad 3) twice to rotate to 180 degrees as shown in my attached image.
I know it's a pain but this is a workaround for now at least. Along with MadVR.
The Open camera app from the Google Play Store has a curious little feature called "Video Stabilization" among its various options. I tried it and I cannot tell for sure if the output is indeed more stabilized than otherwise. I wanted to ask if you folks have observed anything in this regard.
I read that it's possible to enable EIS for video stabilization on the 5x by modifying the build.prop. Perhaps the setting does nothing until that change has been made.
Hello,
I just received my Xiami Mi Mix 2 last weekend. I usually use my phone to record sports games.
I noticed that 4K recording can only record up to 8 minutes and stops. I tried looking up online to get around this but seem to can't find a solution.
Oh well, I decide I'll just record at Full HD, but noticed that it would record up to 23 minutes and then continue recording in a second video. My main problem with this is after that 23 minute, there is a few second gap that is missing before the phone continues to record in the second video. Of course, merging the two video files afterwards is a hassle as well.
Anyone know of any solution to get around this so video can record continuously in Full HD without splitting up. Maybe a different camera app, etc.
My previous phone was the Huawei Honor 8 and I could record continuously over a hour with it's basic 1080p setting.
Oh yeah, when using the camera to take a picture, it always has a watermark (MIX SHOT ON MI MIX2) on the bottom left corner... how do we remove that?
Sounds like a file size limit issue. Some filesystems can't handle files that are over a determined size. I remember my old Nokia did just that.
You can remove the watermark by opening the menu (top left corner) and selecting device watermark.

Thank you. My menu was on top right corner and didn't know that existed.
Well still hoping someone on the forum knows how to get around the Full HD recording after 23 minute issue.
Have you tried installing a third party camera like open camera from the playstore? In the setting for open camera there is an option to record for an unlimited time. Hope this helps?

I saw that app but didn't download it. Wanted to see what other people are actually doing instead of relying on 3rd party app that may freeze or might be worse video quality.
