GTalk Background Replacement - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need help here, in S3 on talk video there function "Background replacement"?, what is this? I really no idea. How to make it work? And also when I enlarge the video on myself the width of screen become wide out, so it look my face so wide and big. It seem to many pixel width so video image produced to fit in. But I need confirmation here, Anyone?

In space, sunset and disco doesn't work!
GTalk background replacement "in space", "sunset" and "disco" doesn't work!
In Samsung Galaxy S III original stock ROM there is missing videos files:
system\media\video\AndroidInSpace.240p.mp4
system\media\video\AndroidInSpace.480p.mp4
system\media\video\Sunset.240p.mp4
system\media\video\Sunset.480p.mp4
Which these file cause the Space and Sunset background replacement doesn't work in Gtalk video chat, I'm not sure for "Disco" what kind video files.
Original stock Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S have these video files.
Samsung you missed this out on your stock ROM. Very bad!

Why two posts?
Both have incorrect information.
Those files are videos.

I don't know I can't delete other thread, these video is to playback the background replacement.
Did you notice? If not I guess you not often using Gtalk video chat.
Background replacement is work with video not images, it will playback the background with video.

No, it does not play the background as video.

Yes it does.

Video playback is upside down

This may sound stupid but when I upload recorded videos from the phone to computer, the video is upside down. Why? It's oriented correctly on the phone.
How can I fix the video without downloading some video editing program?

Is this also the case when you record a video while the home-button is on the right during recording?
I don't know. Haven't paid attention to that. I figured that either way the phone is positioned, the video shoots right side up. Guess I'm wrong?

I have the same problem, tried it both ways and the video's show correctly on the phone (autorotate with phone), but on PC (Windows 7) one is correct and the other is not. The weird thing is that when uploaded to youtube they do show correctly, so I am thinking there is probably some metadata information about the orientation the video was shot at that some videoplayers (WMP, VLC, MPC) do not take into account but youtube does.

Video editing app?

Hi there, I have looked everywhere it seems, I am looking for a app that does video editing, like adding mp3, clips, cutting, things like that, I need to edit a video for youtube.
I thought maybe someone might know one, so..yeah.
Thanks

We had the video editting app from the S2 on here a while ago. . . let me see where it is. It does the tasks you listed, but its no Final Cut.

+1 for the Android Movie Studio. It sucks, but I still find it better than anything on the market. The Tablet UI is better than the Phone UI however. VidTrim is good if you just want to trim, extract screenshots or transcode (however it takes FOREVER to transcode). But honestly...I've stopped trying to edit videos on my phone and I'll just transfer the files to edit in Premiere on my PC.

Mod suggestion: picture in picture

I was messing around with my buddy galaxy s3 and I noticed they can do this picture in picture kind of thing where they can minimize the video and still use other functions on their phone. I was wondering if anyone can implement this mod in their room or even make it available for the EVO.

? you mean minimize a playing video and have it still play in the background? or be recording a video and then minimize while recording to do something else? im not quite sure what you are trying to get at here haha think you can find an example somewhere?
Watching video and minimize it
Sent from the euphoric state of my mind
or maybe he means this? i can do this with my computer monitor but it requires 2 different sources for video. so i can have my computer video full screen (via a dvi connection) but then have lets say a xbox playing in a small corner at the top through a different cable such as hdmi. looks something like this

No I believe he is talking about the "Pop-up Play" feature that the GS III introduced that lets you play a video, minimize it to do other stuff like text and browse while the video is still playing in a smaller "picture-in-picture" window like seen here. luisrod03 was also correct. Here is another app that let's you do the same thing but it isn't free like luisrod03's link.
Yes the app let me do what I was trying to do... I wanted to view a video while texting and doing things on the phone... Also when u tap on it it will go back to full screen but I do like that super app though

Only catches are that it's $1.79 and I've never used it.

Picture while recording?

Is there any way to take a picture while recording\watching a video like the s4?

Would it work for you if you could extract a frame from the video?
Sony FrameGrabber is a fantastic app for taking a hi res image out of a video.

I wanted to get a picture of my dog jumping into the water but the freakin camera lagged so bad it was impossible. I found that app, shot a hi res 10 secod video, and used the app to get the best shot. Now I'm hooked on action shots. Its worth it.

Preloaded videos

This might be a stupid question but when I bought the phone yesterday I remembered seeing some pre loaded videos that looked pretty cool at showing off this wonderful screen but now I can't freakin find em.
Anyone know the location of the video I'm talking about?

Mine also got deleted. This phone comes packed so much extra crap you lose a lot of usable internal storage so I just wipe the whole thing. I was pleasantly surprised that I had 22 gigs of storage

Agreed, and would love to have one of the original videos that came with the phone. It showed off a bunch of landscapes but looked fantastic to really show off the display. When I first factory reset my phone (before rooting or anything) it wiped the files. I went to show the girlfriend and it's no longer there.
Presumably playing one of the Discovery Planet Earth videos in 1080p on Google Play would be able to show it off just as well. But I used it to play around with the built in video player that you could re-size etc.
I tried to share it elsewhere and it wouldn't let me, saying that it was a protected file. Even tried looking for it with a File Explorer and came up empty.
I must admit, those videos make the screen look GORGEOUS! Full HD 5.2 inch screen on minimum bezel...

they are protected files yes, locked to the individual devices. so once gone, they are gone forever.
speaking of those videos, did anybody find any demo videos that look as stunning as those on our screens?
I've deleted them when I got my phone, because I wanted more free space, but the other day I soft bricked my G2, so I had to restore everything and I got them videos back. I can upload them if you guys want.
again, they are protected and locked to individual devices, you can't play them anywhere else but your own phone.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Ohh, I see now. You can't even take screenshots during the video. Silly DRM. Then I uploaded 2 other ones, they are regular .mp4 videos, so you can play them on your phone or anything.
Video 1 - It's actually an extended version of the stock Europe video, there's no music though.
Video 2 - This one also looks really gorgeous.
In you tube search lg 4k demo, you found several demo videos from lg, download with tube mate in original video o 4k resolution and you get a lot of videos in excellent quality.

I think you're right.
it doesnt hurt to try so for those who want to try, here are the videos coming from my G2.
download them and rename the extension with .dm instead of .mp4 and see if they play.
