Hi there,
I have a problem with video length when recording it on HTC One. Every video is limited with 4gb size, in other words maximum duration of actual 1080p video is about 30 minutes.
Is there any way to record longer video clips without changing it to 720p or reducing quality of video? Or is there maybe some function on camera (or application to download) which enables automatic recording next video when first one reaches 4gb limit and stop recording?
It would mean a lot if anyone could help me with this issue so thanks in advance guys!
Anyone?

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 took this video from the sky with RC plane

Can I take such a video with the Galaxy II ? Can it produce 60FPS?
Does anybody know a better video recording app than the stock ?
Thanks
Sharon
It can do [email protected], I am not sure what FPS it can do at lower resolutions.
Some people like LGcamera
There is a maximum file size of 4GB due to filesystem limitations, so that would limit the recording time.
Hi I wanted to know if it is possible to improve to improve audio recorded during a video??
I mean I can record video at 720p 25 fps, but the DAMN audio gets recorded at 12 kbps!!
It's just tinny and annoying sound cuts up all the time.
So it is it possible to increase the bitrate of audio via modifying some system file or changing some parameters in phones hidden settings or something like that?? my phone is a Chinese Zopo PILOT ZP100. Thank you.
btw, When I use Sound / voice recorder, it records in 3gppp at high setting with 127 kbps AAC audio.

some users with the same problem on other phones use this app with AMR_WB encoder selected and they reported a significant audio quality improved during video
Try it, it might work
Thanks mate. this actually CAN record high quality audio but the video even when selected to record at 30 fps , reciords at 10-11 fps, I guess its my Class-4 card...
Perhaps compare the data rate required to store video+audio data compared to audio data only, and also account for the lower transfer speed of a class 4 SD card compared to class 10. There might be other limitations as well - if a product is sold as a mid-range phone the picture quality may be deliberately downgraded compared to what the hardware is capable of. Samsung galaxy ace 832MHz arm CPU with class 10 SD card = 320 x 240 video recording

when I use native app to record video, it records with bitrates of 11,000+ and 25 Fps! Just that audio is ****ty 12 kpbs!
With the lgcamera app as I reduce the video bitrate the fps goes up so I think it is a bandwidth issue only but then the native camera app can handle such high bitrates....!

try to find out what encoding is used for 720p in the stock camera app, and make sure it's the same in lgCamera.
with the wrong encoding settings your phone may fall back to software encoding, which is much less efficient.
my phone for example is capable of 30fps 1088p video recording, but using software encoding(hw en/decoding is broken in the rom i use) it can only reach 30fps on 480p, or 720p if i overclock.

Don't know, I guess the free version is capped at 20 FPS cause no matter what parameters I set frame rate doesn't go past 20 FPS...
The default encoder for phone was H.263 in 3GP container. still it doesn't make any difference. I was thinking about editing the Media_profiles.xml in ETC folder but it's not even there!!

Hello,
I have Zp200 and I have the same issue about audio quality... and Lg cam software does not work properly (sometimes close and lock the phone during record).
Do you have any new about how to change this bitrate?
Thanks, Caio.
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.
It's a bit weird that the Xperia 1 III supports 4k 120fps through Cinema Pro but only 4k 24fps in the camera app.
Sometimes, I don't have the time to setup Cinema Pro and just want to quickly record something, is there a way to enable 4k 60fps in the main app? I have a rooted device if one solution requires it.
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and there was an app called Camera Mod that allowed to tweak some settings of the stock camera app. Can something similar be developed for the Xperia 1 III?
Also, and that's a lot less important, it possible to record native 120fps files (either 4k or 1080p). By that I mean a video file with a frame rate of 120fps (not slowed down to 60 or 30fps). This phone have a 120Hz display so I would like to record and playback at that refresh rate if possible, without any slowmo, just 120fps recording and play back.
Thank you very much.
