Droid X video quality is terrible. check these videos - Droid X General

here is a few video clips i have taken on the DX. i am not too pleased with them. seems there is a lot of video noise going on. i have not messed with any settings. running Fission 2.2.2 and the DX Camera installed. settings are on High. seems to be the same on Youtube High but only difference is that it is limited on length.. right?
thanks for any advice. be sure to click the 720 setting......
edit... go to my youtube channel.. "tha5150" since i cant post links yet.. since im a newb

and you're expecting 1080p HD quality on the Droid X? I don't get it. What are you comparing the video quality to?

not expecting 1080 by any means.. and not really comparing it to anything i guess. just seems like there is a LOT of video noise in here. especially the one of my dumb friend trying to dance. that one has lower light but looks terrible to me. maybe i am expecting more than what i have?
is this me or not?

Im pretty sure you can change the settings for which mic will turn on when capturing a video, if not all of the mics will be turned on...I may be wrong but I feel like I remember something like when I was watching some reviews on youtube

not audio noise but video noise.. thanks for the tip though.

I looked on my phone, try changing the scenes... that may help

It was probably the poor lighting that caused all the noise. Check out my sample clip (once it's rendered in 720p)

I'm not sure what you're asking. That was on Fission 2.2.1 using the stock Motorola Camcorder app though.

Do a search on you tube for vids taken with the dx there is one of someone at a trans Siberian orchestra concert and it sealed the deal for me on buying the Dx. The video and sound looked great. You just need to play with the settings.

[Q] Youtube Quality

Even with HQ I still think the youtube quality is pretty ****ty when compared to the Froyo devices. Anything we can do about this?

I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed it.
I had been spoiled by the youtube on my TP2--quality was never anything but awesome. Even it's low quality settings were better looking than HQ on my fascinate. Very strange.
Youtube is really nice on my fascinate but I am using the HD youtube app that comes on the EVO, Incredible etc. Try that and see if its better.
where are you finding this hd youtube app
you could probably go to the incredible,or evo forums and find it

I tried this apk, works great for the first 45sec then freezes for about 10 then continues. I'm on 3g and wifi...is it just the buffering?

[FYI] 720p HD Recording Test

Figured with all the snow we got, and salt on my car it was time to get it washed.
So i tested my Atrix Recording out with 720p.
Its the whole car wash, so if you dont want to watch/listen you get the idea of how clear and awesome it is, give it, to atleast 1:55 seconds
Atrix Video Recording Test Make sure to change it to 720p, It Matters!

that there is nice Awesome in 720 just not a big Motorola fan lol
That background music was great...well, at least until 1:55!
Who's the artist?

got same message here also. Tried to watch it on my iPad. But I was able to watch other Atrix 4g 720p test videos and quality is great. Looks even better playing on my IPad IPS screen.

Yes! Its got slow motion video :)

Just incase anyone was wondering it has a great slow motion video feature allowing you to film in 1/2 1/4 or 1/8 speed (I believe its actually recording in high speed and playing back in slow speed) but its smooth and decent quality and great fun to play with. It also has a fast motion setting.
Im sure you probably knew already but I just found the settings and was chuffed and thought id share it with ya.

I can only imagine how that will look in slow motion, it already looks crazy on video. What equipment are you going to use? Maybe some 15" zv3 sundowns?

I guess it's understandable that the Slo-Mo is at a lower resolution (gotta sample more per second) but I don't understand the fast-mo being lower resolution... just take 1080p 30fps and then play it back at 30 fps while dropping every other frame...
I'll post mine when I'm allowed (after 5 more posts, I think)
Stay tuned.

I'm confused What has slow mo?

I keep forgetting just how damn good the One is at recording audio

Most phones blow out the sound when recording stuff that's super loud, but apparently not the HTC One. Sounds flippin' fantastic. Here's some nightclub videos I took last night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8QdbQe--3k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVW9B_tfri4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Ac02Qb_qU
The videos quality itself is also fairly commendable considering the poor lighting there.
Very good indeed. I'll give it a shot myself...
I'm really pleased with the audio. I was in Disney world, recorded tons of videos of the rides and while really loud, sound is great and not distorted at all.

Don't forget only people who got their Ones early got the awesome HDR dual membrane microphone that makes this possible. Due to a court ruling HTC must begin shipping phones with a different microphone once they use up their existing stock of phones with the old microphone.

The Serial number will show when the phone was manufactured. So far, there has been no news of HTC running out of their stock yet, so we can safely assume anything made up til Mid-May will have the HDR mic.

Kind of right I think..I believe they are allowed to use the rest of the stock the bought from ST Microelectronics..Even if they weren't in new phones yet..
Sorry, yes I think that is more accurate.
Either way we don't know how good the replacement part will be. Might be very good, but hard to imagine being as good as the originally spec'ed part .. .

What a difference 1.5 years of phone technology makes...
Does anyone know if apps than the video camera can use the HDR audio capabilities? I tried to record our band rehearsing last Friday and it was just as distorted as on any other phone.
We play really loud, probably louder than the music in that club (we use earplugs) so maybe it was simply more than the HDR microphone could handle.
However, I used a 3rd party audio app (J4T), and now I'm wondering if it would have been better if I had shot a video using the stock camera instead.

I believe the mic is rated to record up to 140db with no distortion.

Thanks! Well, maybe we were just over 140db, I don't know -- although that is pretty loud. I'll experiment with different audio apps and the video camera next rehearsal.

New HDR Video.

I noticed many people (including myself) trying to figure out HDR video in the new MEA base. This thread is for that discussion. Hopefully someone will be able to give a clear answer on it and it will help everyone. So what magic must be done to enable HDR video? Is it on by default or is there some hidden setting?

thus far havent been able to do it with stock or ktoonsez kernels. how it works is pretty simple and should work ok, but should show some artifacting with heavy jello. basically it underexposes and overexposes every other scan line (not sure if it oversamples, averages, and combines from higher than 1080P res or just does so at regular 1080P resolution (most likely) in which case best quality would be found at 720P settings, as this would allow full blending.
What about faux123s new kernel? Interesting that we can't do it on the stock kernel.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
i havent seen anyone find it yet; im interested to compare quality of 720P vs 1080P and see if my theory on transsampled scan lines is correct; its a dirty way to do it, but would work decently. HDR photo mode should work the same but it doesnt; instead any movement translates to blur (eg leaves, bugs, cars, etc).
Are you people stupid or just lazy? How bout going into the camera app hitting mode then scroll to HDR then hit the video button.

That only works for photo mode, which works totally different from video mode. i work in television and film; i took several sample clips in controlled lighting environments; photo mode does not alter video mode, in this update or 4.2.2 original, AOSP/CM, TW UCUAMDB/UCUAMDL or any kernels thus far.
watch who you call lazy and stupid; might come off a bit rude, to say the least.
Well according to this HDR video is included and there is only 1 HDR setting in the camera so unless there is another setting buried within the camera... That's it
