This is a sample (or rather many samples put together) of video taken by our new phone. I'm by no means any kind of professional video editor.
The video was taken in 1080p, antishake, auto white balance, superfine quality. A total of 3.8 gigs of video was taken (and trimmed).
This video was done as a joke, a type of roast, for a co-worker leaving. Youtube MAY be removing the audio clips in the video since they are copyrighted.

Be sure to choose 1080p in the quality setting depending on your connection.

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.
I've been trying to find information about this but I have been unable to yet (likely due to how new it is). I'm trying to find the best settings to re-encode my videos for a balance of quality and size.
Test the NT's video capability here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348488
As for encoding specs, it's simple: conform to MP4 specs (H.264, AAC stereo) if you want to use built-in player and hardware accel.
Newbies tend to obsess with encoding parameters, and there've been reams of how-to's for Handbrake encoding. You don't have to bother with any of that. The 4430 should handle anything in 720p, and the majority of 1080p. I would use the default settings of whatever encoder you prefer.
For quickie conversion to MP4 (from common formats), see my VidsOpt script conversion in the above link.
Thank you for the information. And it's not so much worrying about all the settings but trying to maximize how many shows/movies I can hold on the NT at once. I travel a lot for work and some of the flights are LONG so having as many options as possible is what I'm really looking for since it wouldn't be as simple as just loading other videos onto the NT at the time.

Get a 32 GB uSD card. I can hold 20+ hours of video on mine.
>to maximize how many shows/movies I can hold on the NT
There are two ways to lower a movie's size, reduce the resolution, or reduce the quality. Both are a personal preference.
A 90min movie averages 800MB-1GB, encoded at 480p and standard quality. Then, you can fit 32 such movies onto a 32GB uSD. With a larger res, you can fit fewer. You can also of course have more than one uSD card.
Getting ready for the Thanksgiving drive and saw this question, so did a test re-encode of Green Lantern. Original file is a 720p mkv
Video Bitrate: 720p (1280x536 @ 4811kbps)
Audio Bitrate: DTS @ 1509 kbps
Using Handbrake Normal as the baseline.
1) Container MP4, left extension as .m4v
2) Picture: changed Anamorphic to Loose, Width to 1024 (assumed native width was a good idea to reduce size)
3) Video: Video Codec x264 which means encode took about 50 minutes. Constant Quality 22
4) Audio: AAC Mixdown to Stereo, Samplerate Auto, Bitrate 160
5) Subtitles: need to play around with this later
Original mkv filesize was 5.7GB
.m4v file was 913MB
To me, it looked absolutely great. Could not complain and actions scenes didn't show any sign of stutter. Didn't watch the whole thing through, but didn't seem to come across any problems either.
I'm sticking with these settings and will see if there are any changes required.
I'm not a video encoding expert or a Handbrake expert - but I think I know enough and need at least 3-4 movies for the drive.
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much, I'm going to give those settings a try when I get home.
The settings are working great. So much that I actually put the setting into a preset file for anyone else that wants it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361819. Thank you very much for your help iron_c
Hi I took a 3min video today of my daughters 2nd birthday.. she was blowing the candles out.. and I filmed this event on my sgs3
As I did this on high quality.. Iand now have a 500mb video file... How can I best re-encode it to a much smaller file that I could post on tumblr, etc? I tried handbrake but I could only squeeze it down to 180mb.. it seems excessive for a 3min video
use any video converter
Hey guy with this method you can have Google pixel like EIS in your recorded videos on OnePlus One or any android device.
Steps :
1. Install the lastest version on Google photos.
2. Find the video you recorded on your device in Google photos.
3. Then open it and click on edit and hit on stabilization and wait for the process to complete then hit save.
4. Done.
In action, see the big difference it makes.
I just gave this a try on a short clip which I (accidentally) recorded in 1080p so it should have stabilization, but this still made a dramatic difference. The file size of the stabilized video was half of the original, so I'd have to view it on my PC rather than a tiny phone, to see if there was noticeable quality loss or if ZTE's compression just sucks.
So I am making a video, and long story short I needed to use a video I have on my phone, exported it onto the computer. I filmed at 1080p 60fps, stock settings. For some reason, when exported to my computer through a cable, the videos would come out with half the video having a green glitch, while the rest was fine. Audio is fine too.
My super slo mo vids came out fine, but not my 1080p videos. So I checked in "Video Size" and same that High Efficiency Video was enabled which is never an issue. I filmed and edited HEVC videos from the iPhone 8/X at 4k 60fps with no issues. But for some reason this fixed my issue. Not sure how it will react with 4k 30fps and 60fps video. I use this phone for my YT channel, and often record for 10+ minutes, so I need this stuff to work lol. The weird thing is they both export as mp4, even though one has the HEVC codec. Pretty sure the iPhone would export as .hevc. I don't remember.
Anyone having this issue, and if so did turning HEVC off fix it?
Happened to me this weekend. Handbrake converting fixed it so it has to be something with the viewing of the HEVC S9 file and not the file's content.
