What is the best way to record, edit.. and maybe compress videos (on android) to store on PC or upload on internet.
Sorry for the noob question: Is a good idea to compress an mp4 file? Can I compress (lossy way) an mp4 video?
Or should I set a lower quality in camera setting?
1080p generates very big files.. And I can't send via mail/whatsapp or uploading to facebook takes too much time.
What is the best resolution/quality/size compromise on Stock Galaxy S3 camera?
Is there a way to edit (append) many video into a single file in a lossless way (android or pc)?
I hope you understand what i need..

1. Idk if u can compress it but I think u can.
2. For me I use 6 MP instead of 8 MP so tat my picture will end up bigger in 6 mp than in 8 mp.
3. Are u thinking of combining the videos into one or?

1. Yes but maybe i can set a lower quality while i record video, maybe it is the same result
2. Sorry, I meant video recording settings: I use 1080p and best quality.. But video files are too big. Is there a more efficent way to record video?
3. Combine more videos in on video.

1+2. There is no other way to decrease the video size unless u reduce the pixels or quality.
3. If u are using windows, use windows movie maker. Mac: Shld be iMovie. Linux: OpenShot or others.

Hi everyone, is it possible to play 720p (1280×720) movie on X10 smoothly? If so then which program did you guys use to convert and which encode did you use? Because I did try both .mkv and MP4 H.264 encoded and it seems to be lag or super slo-mo alike. Really appreciate with any help from you.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ya u could download the apk file called rockplayer.apk and install it and throw any file in your memory card and this app will play it smoothly
I did use Rockplayer to play but the result was somewhat unsatisfied. I got lag and slow motion video play
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You could try yxplayer, but that's probably going to do the same thing...
So noone suffers the same prob as me? Everyone can play HD video smoothly. Can I ask which codec did you use? I used MP4 H.264 one
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have the same prob.
Lag on rock player playing 720.
Just like lag in phone overall
Can I ask why you need HD playback on a none HD display? You would not see any difference from a 720p file to a 854X480 file regardless.
The Ironman file I encoded to the proper size plays perfect and I cannot tell the difference from source (720p). Encoded MP4 H.264 with Videora.
I just tried, and in mp4 format, it lags significantly (like it plays between 7-19 fps), but I converted the same file to DivX, picture and sound quality looked exactly the same and it plays perfectly fine at full frame rate.
Well, probably the 2.1 update will bring something to play HD video, since the X10 will be able to record HD video. At lest it is logical.but who knows, maybe we ll record on our X10 the video and watch it on a hd tv. i hope i am wrong.

Yeah. Hopefully you are wrong. That would be stupidity redefined.
Coming back to the playback issue. It's the same thing here. I got the best performance with rock player, which managed to play a couple of hd files.but mostly even rock player is too laggy.

Thank you very much guys, at least now I know I'm not the only one who suffer. Maybe I will try different codec like DivX for example

My thoughts exactly. Unless we're able to output and watch these files on our HDTV's, whats the point of needing to watch a 720p file on a 854x480 screen that isn't HD? Makes no sense to me...but to each their own.
I recall reading the update info on SE blogs that we will apart from HDrecording also get wireless video out, i'm guessing we'll need to buy some reciever for our tv's for it to work.

Personally I want to be able to play 720p video on my phone because that's what format the majority of my video is and I'd like to be able to play it without transcoding
That said, If I remember correctly the snapdragon has a hardware video decoder capable of playing 1080p @ 30 fps so it is probably a 1.6 related issue.
hi mate i just got the phone today its amazing for i have a question whats XDA App that u use for transfer the file i guese??
My guess is that these video players do not have access to the GPU for hardware acceleration, which would mean the CPU would have to do all the hard work (don't forget, playing HD video IS hard work for any mobile device). Whether that would be an Android 1.6 restriction, I don't know.
anybody looked at the bitrates of these videos?
a bitrate of 8,000 in comparison to a bitrate of let's say 1,000 would make a bit difference... am I wrong?
Also, if you are using the stock CLASS 2 memory card, then playing high bit-rate files will be problematic.
I know that you guys don't want to transcode, but 720p really kills battery.
I haven't tried on my new 16GB class 2 card, but with the 8GB that came with the phone I got smooth playback with 720HD with these settings:
MP4:
ffmpeg
1500kbps for video
48channels or whatever it is
160kbps sound
1280x720 pixels

O1 can play video having bitrate upto 2Mbps having resolution a max of 624 * 352..If .avi file has mp3/aac audio codec and xvid/h264 video codec that fit above criteria then the file can be played without even converting and by the Stock Player itself !!! Else wat u cud do is go to http://miksoft.net and download mobile media converter ..install it and use ipod profile for converting your video and play them on your phone ..Enjoy
Or you can use another video player,I use mVideo player which supports subtitle,it's great.
Last night I watched a 688 x 284 movie running very smoothly.

the real slap on the face with P500 is that ...with hw rendering it barely touches tha VGA resolution and with its slow 600MHZ processor u can barely touch even VGA playback with sw rendering ...To get the most all u can try is OC your phone to 800 MHZ use latest kernel posted in this forum and try ROCKplayer universal its the most optimised player ever..Or try chinese qqplayer its good for avi files
if you cant play divx(avi) at all then check your stagefright settings. if its enabled then just disable it and you should be fine
I dont have any knowledge about stagefright can you tell how can I access its settings?

root your phone theres a file /system/build.prop mount your /system rw ..using root explorer mount open /system/build.prop u will a column in the end of the file like "stageplayer.enable=true" (switch it false to disable stagefright)
Im using vital player.. Its frickin awesome.
I think this problem occured when I flashed the zip which increases quadrant scores therefore I just reflashed stock rom using KDZ and now everything works well.

yes it can play avi, just reduce the size of the movie you're gonna play.
which video format can I watch on my phone and how do I watch it on the phone?

Pretty much anything you throw at it will work, and you play videos by opening the video player application.
But first put the videos on the phone .

You prolly will want to get a decent video conversion app on your pc and convert them to a good quality format that doesn't take up a ton of space for each movie. If you want to convert a dvd collection dvd fab platinum is awesome if you wanna pay a little to get it.
Dvd fab can extract just the main movie from a dvd and put it in just about any format for any device, psp, ipod, phone, plus all the standard vid formats like avi, divx, wmv and alot more.
There are some other apps on the market for playing videos on your phone but I've always just stuck with the one that came on my phone. You'd just have to try em and see what you like most of its personal preference anyways.

Jsmokey- "...and convert them to a good quality format that doesn't take up a ton of space for each movie." Which format is that?
I just downloaded handbrake..only has 2 outputs mkv and mp4. And you can tick on untick a 'large file option' and change resolution and frame rate. Im guessing all these tinker with file size. Trying MP4 now on default settings
If you use mp4, you might want to go into options and stop idevice compatibility because it puts it in a m4v file instead. I have no idea if this is compatible...just found out now and its half way through converting so i guess i will find out soon lol
The 1gb movie i converted on a m4v file, at the default res it provided me....about 640x300 ...is 590mb in size ..hmm hoping it would be smaller

I've always used avi and divx cause they have a fairly good quality and don't take a ton of room up like some hd and other formats which I think is a waste of space on a phone or pc, or really anything. personally I don't really think most hd formats are worth the extra space no matter what you're watching it on.

Hi Friends,
Please suggest me few best video convertors for xperia x10 that doesnt compromise in video clarity and scaling....
I have very good music videos that i want on my phone!
I've used the program MediaGo! that comes with the x10 to put AVI files on my phone. It works great, you just drag'n'drop the files onto your phone with this program and it will automatically convert the clip to a format the X10 likes.
You could also try an app such as RockPlayer, which will natively play .avi (and many other) formats directly on your phone.

I use HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr/), which is a great free utility. It's available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
I use it to convert Flash (.FLV) files and MPEG-2 (.VOB and .MPG). It's not a simple drag-and-drop type of program because it allows you to adjust a lot of settings, but the resulting quality is fantastic. There are also lots of usage write-ups and help available online.

see if u want gud videos then download the latest youtube downloader and use convert to try and convert the videos to PSP videos in high quality !! the clarity is really awesome !!
hope it helps
plz thank me if it does!!
I use Audials Tunebite to covert videos and movies for my mobile devices, for example. Works fast and it can be used to convert videos to avi, mp4 and all sorts of video formats.
Another useful thing is that this one also has customizable conversion profiles that let you play around with the conversion settings and to choose whatever bit rate, frame rate etc. you need to get the files converted in perfect quality for any devices you need.
I for one am pretty happy with the way this one handles converting my videos, movies and music.
Thanks friends....but i guess playing the videos in mobyplayer was a good idea and also using youtube downloader was very much helpfull.
hi, dunno if it could help but on my mind best converter for any media is "super" (yeah thats the name lol).
but the fact is if you re looking for control just dl it's the more interesting exept if you don't really understand media format.
hope you ll give it a try
don't need to convert it, just use Mobo player. it support almost all format.

Hey Guyz,
I'm using an xperia ray device & I've been going through so many converters to get some video converted on to mp4 to view it through my phone... I just don't understand what type of encodes, formats that I should exactly use...
If anyone can advise me on this + a good converter name which can do this job.. that will be a great help for me..

lol we are not using a 2003-2007 phones anymore.
your ray supports any video format. you dont need to convert a video to mp4 or anything to make it playable.
since you're using android, try Moboplayer from the market. it supports nearly all video formats.
the matter of fact, converting a video format from this to that will reduce the video quality and will make the converted video really bad. so just let the video formats stays the way it was to enjoy the original quality.
If you just send video file throught MTP connection (using Windows Media Player except USB Flash mode) Windows offers you to encode video for the best experience. If you are advanced user check SUPER encoder. It has huge number of settings to encode your video as you wish. Good luck ;-)
Download handbrake and use the android preset. It gives a really good experience.

Yeah! I know that the latest smartphones supports almost all known formats except for few, I've even tried mobo player.. some avi's, mkv's & mp4's doesn't play properly.. its like a little slow than a normal video + voice & video plays in two different ways.. that's what I wanted to know wat are the possible codec & cordinates to convert...
btw, I'm gonna try handbrake & see whether I can do anything using that...
