I need to know guys how I could get a better sound quality while recording video in a concert. Usually, while we're performing there's a guy filming with a professional camera but sometimes we don't get a copy of it. I want to have a personal video of us taken by my X10, so I ask a friend to record and I let him to use my phone.
The results of the video vary depending of the ilumination of the place. But sound results are terrible. Loud amplifiers, distortion in guitars etc. plus people cheering make only noise in the video and what I sing isn't understandable sometimes. So please, Im asking if there's any way to get better sound in an environment like this.
Thanks in advance.
Are you using eclair? Or froyo? Well the original Sony firmware has better camera drivers plus it also supports HD recording. I would suggest you to use that. The sound quality is pretty good.

Im using Eclair .435 Generic Global ROM, wich I think is still from SE, Im not using any custom ROM.
Ahem... Im talking about the sound quality. The video is just great, but the sound is horrible when recording with a lot of noise around.
Thanks.
I recorded new videos yesterday.
I had earlier original rom but has same problem. I recorded this with MIUI official rom...
Why do we have so bad sound quality? We have PERFECT video quality but sound is like s#it...
Watch 2nd video and see how better sound quality on iphone 4. I love android but i just thought to buy iphone just for recording...

The Samsung based cameras are much better, with Potatoman modifying sound quality.

Hi !
I am new here so I can't post to dev forums yet but I wanted to let it be known to whomever that 1) I REALLY appreciate the extremely hard work that has been done by jokersax and the rest of the dev team on the Photon 4G CM9 project. It is AMAZING!! THANKS!!!! and/but ....
2) I have not been able to use the video camera for RECORDING with any of the betas. Other camera functions including taking rear cam stills and front cam stills/face unlock work fine and always have for me on the betas but rear cam video recording on 720p mode will lag to complete unusability and record button does absolutely nothing in ANY mode. Switching rear cam to 480p will reduce lag in viewfinder significantly but STILL will not record.
My (very)uneducated GUESS is that this problem is somehow connected to the inability to play back ANY previously recorded videos in hardware render mode without MAJOR lag. Using an aftermarket video player (mobo/MX) allows for switching to software rendering in settings, which then allows playback at VERY slow motion at BEST, but smooth slow motion which is better than nothing I suppose. I also had a similar problem on an Optimus S that turned out to be related to the SD card for some reason. I am lost on this one.
I have cleared all caches multiple times, reinstalled stock everything, reinstalled the betas and so on and so on, but have NEVER had a working VIDEO camera since the alphas/betas started showing up. I haven't seen very many people complaining about the video camera and video playback issues so I have remained quiet, assuming there would be a fix on the horizon and that maybe this particular issue was just not very important to the majority of my fellow users. Please advise on any possible fixes or with any information or service I could provide to help make this AWESOME project even better than it already is.
I have been on the main thread for this project everyday for around 2 weeks now, but have not found my answer. I have only seen a few people post about this but did not see anyone get an answer. I apologize if I missed something that was already posted. I did search as well as I could for a solution.
I am NOT a great developer but I AM very good with all the technical stuff and can follow directions fairly well. (I THINK!! ) This video camera problem is the ONLY problem I am having with this rom, other than the loss of 4G, which I could really care less about at this point. I just clocked my 3G after installing 0.3.0 at almost 2Mb !!! That is the fastest 3G I have ever seen in my area!! ) Thanks again for this great rom !
AFAIK video recording is still a no-go. Has been for me atleast, I haven't flashed to the latest Beta yet though, im charging up now for it actually. Ive got no issues with video playback using a third party software and I use it regularly. Sure its only a matter of time until Joker gets the few remaining kinks worked out.

Roger that and agreed!! Joker is THE MAN and he has not left us hanging yet so I can wait!! I am currently on the latest beta, 0.3.0 and it is nearly flawless IMO except of course for the video cam and video playback issues, and some minor quirks here and there which are to be expected. I cant wait to see whats next!
Thanks a lot for your reply!
i read on the main thread some one say videocam illusion app works, its a little choppy but works..

anything new?
Sorry it has taken me so long to answer, but in case you don't already know, A LOT has changed in terms of getting the camera working correctly in the builds I am using. Right now I am using a MIUI port by TheBill and Spleef which is based off of Joker's CM9 work, and it is AWESOME! VERY smooth, and I have video recording AND playback, by using Videocam Illusion app for recording and MX Video player for playback in the SOFTWARE render mode. It works very well!
Joker seems to be making MASSIVE strides forward in getting CM9 perfect for the Photon. It is definitely worth the time and effort to follow his work and to flash its' results on the phone as they become available. He just announced that he may have cracked the proprietary code issues plaguing development of the portion of his CM9 responsible for 2d accel and video, which we have all been having issues with.
Cant wait to see whats next!!
Video recording
Hi guys any update on the Video recording issue that was present ?
I also have the same issue. Have tried the videocam illusion but i think it works well in 640X480 resolution only, if i increase the resolution there is a significant lag.
Other than the video camera all other things works great.
I keep seeing everyone say video cam illusion works but whenever I use it I can view the video immediately after I record it, but after that how do you view it? I go to the video camera illusion folder but the videos all show up as text files.

Hey guys,
I just saw some nice stuff that was did on the nexus7, like enabling 720p video recording with front cam.
Well, our beloved phone can do this without problems.
But the crap is, that the s3 has only 3 or 4 choosable resolutions, one is 1280x960, other 2 are more like squares, and the standart 640x480.
But actually I want to take picutures in 720p or 768p, what would be below the 2MP range. I know the phone is able to do it, since it does video recording i the same resolution.
Maybe someone can tell me, what file need to be modded to enable this?
I would try it.
with regards
alex
Hey so I heard about the camera mods and was interested in the addition to take pics while filming UHD and 1080p 60fps, also upping all the bitrates as I was told the higher the bitrate the better the quality
I did try to root my device then install a camera mod but I had trouble at first the camera would not start at all then I got it to work BUT the 1080p 60fps mode kept saying failed and other problems so I managed to totally restore my phone to the original state so my camera was back to normal...im a noob and not done this before usually there are step by step videos on youtube but I can not find any for the mods I want.
Cool
considering that you provided zero informations about your phone, no one can help you.. try again
