Best video record settings? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to record video at the highest quality possible - should I use the "high" or "custom" preset? Is there any way to tweak the custom settings?
Thanks!

Low battery restrictions.

Is there an mod or way to get rid of that silly restriction from using a video player or taking a picture on your phone when you have low battery?

You can install an alternate camera through sgs tools that disables the camera battery check, but I don't know if there is a similar fix for the media player.

It doesn't happen with Trigger 2.8.1

Video capture lag in 720p

When I try to record anything in the stock blur camcorder it will lag and chop while recording and subsequently do the same on video playback. It will also freeze and make the phone nonresponsive from time to time.
Am I the only one with this issue. Its incredibly irritating. Every video I've taken in the last two weeks is junk.

I see this as well. It has been like that for awhile now. Stuttering recording = stuttering playback.
Happens to me too, really annoying. I thought it was because my SD card wasn't fast enough at first, but I upgraded to a Class 10 and it's still crap. Then I thought maybe it was fast motion causing bitrate spikes or something, but it even happens in my workout videos.
It didn't happen on 2.3.3. The only thing I can think is a bug within the 2.3.4 blur camcorder.

It happened on all three OS versions for me. I thought 2.3.4 was supposed to address it, according to the changelog...
I wonder if the newly released 2.3.5 has this issue?!?

Part of the problem is that, for some reason, Motorola set the bitrate really high (13 Mbps). I have had good luck using a 3rd party camcorder app that allows you to set the bitrate.

Lg camera, not too expensive and has a ton of options.

All cameras I have used have had long skips with recording and playback.. this goes for Blur camcorder and MIUI Camera and AOSP Camera.
I just downloaded lgCameraPro and having it set at 720p at 6mbps has no skips at all, but at the next setting (8mbps) it skips.

I have found the same. Shouldn't be surprising since the Xoom has similar hardware and it records HD at 6 Mps. Don't know why they set it so high on the DX2.

Audio recording

Does anyone know of a line in recording app that uses the headphone jack to capture the audio? I mix sound using sound boards and would love to capture a clean signal directly from the board.
I did a search but came up empty. If it had a clean ui and worked well, it would be worth paying for.

fps on video recordings

Does anyone happen to know what the frame rate is on this phone for video recordings? I see info online saying that it's set at 30fps but my recordings come out a 25.6 for some reason. Is this something that could be getting altered by the ROM I'm using? Really screws up the footage I shoot.

By default there is no way to "record it slow" but there is actually no difference.
Slow mo cameras, the real ones. Simply shoot at a high framerate (60,120,240, 1000s etc) and then they change the frame rate to 24 or something when they save. The phone wont change the frame rate when it saves so you'll have to do that yourself.
If you want to "record at slow mo" in which, I assume you mean get a video that will play back in slow motion by default, You will need to edit the footage in something like After Effects and set the frame rate to something lower, like 24 or 30.
So really what you want is high frame rate video, saved with a lower frame rate, which by default the camera does not have, sorry.
What frame rate is the gs4 slow motion feature?
