[Q] 720p Recording lag - Is it normal? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone
I am currently on Trip's IRIS rom, and even though it is quite brilliant except for the 720p recording. No matter what I do, closing down every process I can, the 720p recording lags like no tomorrow. When previewing AND playing on my PC, it pauses on multiple frames for 5 seconds and then skips onto next ones. Any suggestions?

Get a better SD card?
But it shouldn't be a problem, I have a very basic micro SD card and it doesn't lag or skips too many frames when recording at 720p, and I'm also on Trip's ROM.

Nevermind
Never mind people, the camera was by default set to Infinity focus which was beating the living soul out of the hardware. I changed it to Continuous and its working brilliantly.

720p video consumes too much

Recording in 720p eats up way too much memory. I believe it has to do with its codec (3gp). My sony camcorder can record in 1080p and eat up way less memory than my vibrant. Is there any app that will give more video codec features we can choose from?
Not sure what you mean. I recorded in 1080p at the Falcon's game last Sunday and had well over an hour worth of time to record. Not bad for a phone IMHO.
I meant that the vibrant phone camcorder records in 720p and eats up too much memory than a regular hd home camcorder would. A 10 minute video recorded from the vibrant takes up more than 700mb while a 1080p video recorded from my sony home camcorder takes up less than half of that. I think it has to do with the video format of the vibrant. I wonder if there is an app that can allow us to choose another video format other than 3gp to record with.
you cannot change the codec, and just so you know that 3gpp is just the container that holds the video but the video can be MGEP-4(XVID/DVIX) or H264 or many others. But our phones only record in H264 video and AAC audio and contain it in the 3GPP file. What I do is send my videos to youtube immediately so that they are cleared off my phone and youtube will convert them to a better H264 format and the MP4 container. So as of now you cannot change the quality of the camcorder and make it record a lesser video file.
Guess you just have to keep in mind that its a phone first, camcorder second. That's why you own a camcorder in the first place. You wouldn't expect your camcorder to get better calls than your phone would you?

I do agree that it is a phone first, but in todays world of digital everything it is nice to shed as much as you can and have an all in one device. I for one don't want to carry around a digital camera, camcorder and phone, so I picked the one that did the best of all three.
As for running out of memory there is a 32gig SD card option until someone can hack the codec to allow tweaking of the compression ratio, then again the CPU in the phone might not be able to keep up with the video being taken if it has to work to hard to compress the video more.
Not to hard to copy the files off the phone to your PC and covert away.
I believe I read that froyo firmwares record more efficiently in the MP4 container

that doesn't really make any sense. the video doesn't get put into a final true container until its done recording, its just a temp file while its doing it, and video containers dont affect quality, just playback
I know what you mean, but I believe they improved the quality as well as changing the container.

Poor framerate while recording

I tried recording 720p and 1080p videos on my SGS2, and the framerate stutters a lot whenever its auto focusing, which happens all the time. Ive seen many 1080p samples churned out by this phone with lots of auto focus and they dont drop a single frame at all. I just got my phone on sunday and its not rooted or modified in any way. Is there some setting i need to adjust or is it a software bug on my set?
Just tried it again in the same environment and same lighting. Was testing the auto focusing this time, didnt pan around too much as well and it seems to work perfectly. So is it just me? Or did i expect too much?
Am having the same problem....fps drops to 10-12 and video stutters like anything.Anyone has a solution

[Q] RUNNING UnNamed Rom v1.3.0 on i777-Video playback Problem

I'm currently running my phone SGH i777 on Unnamed rom v1.3.0, i'm experiencing some problems on video playback on my current rom. The video stutters while playing less than even a second but happens quiet constantly on the phone. I wanted to know is the problem with the hardware of the phone or does the problem exist on this rom.?

No problems here - but it depends on the video. Video that uses certain features that are part of H.264 High Profile can do weird things.
I am on UnNamed 1.3.1 and hadn't tried video playback since I installed so I pulled up Mobo player and tried some movies on my SD card. Movies with dolby digital and two channel AAC would sometimes close as soon as they started although they would play after I tried a few times. Video without dolby digital seemed to play first time. I looked at the Mobo options and turned on "soft decoding". I haven't got a close since then. Video playback is very smooth (32GB class 10 uSD card). My videos were encoded in Handbrake as H.264 using the AppleTV2 setting. I only use AAC for movies that don't have much of a soundtrack.
These were videos .mp4 that i downloaded using tubemate and played them on my phone..In software decoding mode the're working fine in HW dec mode stutter while playing, so does that mean that the default video player on this rom is unable to play back these videos with the support of the hardware..?

[Q] Video recording in ICS

Since upgrading to ICS, when I record @ 720p I see that the camera has difficult in focusing and sometimes the recording is stuttering like it got slow and stuck and then it gets fine again...
any recommendation on a replace app or fix for this?

UHD (4K) video and audio out of sync?

So, I've done quite a bit of video recording with my LG V10. One of the main issues I've been having is when I review my videos, the audio is about a second or more delayed from the video.
I am on marshmallow 6.0, in manual video mode. The video resolution is 4k, 16:9, 30fps, with the high bit rate setting. I am recording to the phone's internal storage.
I'm wondering if others would be willing to try to recreate the problem by using the same settings I'm using and try making a few recordings and watching them back to see if they are in sync or not. Maybe record several minutes at a time.
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback. I'm going to attempt to try recording to a micro SD card to see if that affects anything, but I really don't want to lower the bit rate or the resolution. Thanks for any input you guys have.
Are you still having this problem?
I'm having the same problem, don't know how it started.
Did you get it fixed?
Ok, I have done some test.
It seems that its the memory card that is somehow to slow.
If you flip it to save the video on the phone, and the back to memory card, it suddenly syncs.
In your case, try to flip it to save on the memory card.
If you don't have a memory card, maybe set it to 24 fps, that worked for me too.
hope it helps.
