[Q] Narrow video on youtube, how to record lull screen yt video? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I recorded my first video for test, and uploaded to youtube.
I used max. camera resolution setting.
After upload on yt, video is nice quality but narrow, not full screen, like strip in middle witch video.

How can I make it full screen? witch good vid. quality?
What settings?
Other question is how i should keep my phone when filming? horizontal or vertical ?
cuz its gives me some funny staff as well.
Thanks for help

You should keep your phone horizontal while you record video. That way you will get video that fills the screen and is wide screen.

[Q] iphone 4 to SGN burning questions.....Thanks in Advance!

I just got my Note in the mail from Clove UK. And everything is great so far, and I dunno if this is and Android thing (This is my first Android device) or a Samsung thing. When I play videos from You Tube or videos that I encoded the blacks are heavily pixelated. (Not sure if that's a word). Am I doing something wrong? What program and/or setting is the best to get rid of that black pixel issue? The test video of the jelly fish works great. Noob questions I know! Thank in advance again for your help.
My guess is that its not directly your fault.
There are several aspects to think of here:
- It may be that artefacts (caused by video encoded in low bitrate) are more noticable on a screen like that of the galaxy note than others.
- It may be that youtube just delivers you the low quality version of the video.
- The video on youtube may be in bad quality to begin with, try other youtube videos and see if it happens only on a few ones or many.
- Note: I see now you already tried the video, so that is probably not a cause. (Your screen itself may have some flaws. Check on that for instance by using a screen test tool like "Screen Test" or playing the video already supplied with the Note (Open the standard video player app that comes with it and select "lightness & slimmess"))
When it comes to watching youtube on a mobile device I recommend (if you have a mobile data connection with enough bandwidth, such as good umts or hsdpa or Wifi) to enable high quality in the youtube app (whenever possible, use the youtube app, and do not play it in the browser).
To do this hit the options button in the youtube app, select settings and enable the first option to enable high mobile quality.
Secondly many videos will allow you to switch between lower and higher quality with the HD button on the upper left (visible at the start or when you tap the screen while palaying) - if you enable high mobile quality this should be turned on to high quality by default.
When it comes to youtube thats probably all you can do to improve quality.
When it comes to playing videos in general (excluding youtube) the standard player can manage most formats. However if you have trouble with some videos you may want to give Dice player a try!
Hope this helps!
Ok thanks, I will def try that!
I belive this is coursed by the hight res/density of the Note screen and low quality of the video in YouTube app, I think the highest quality of video in the YouTube app is only 480P.
I also noticed this problem while streaming old TV shows from PLEX to my Note, this is less noticeable with my Tab 10.1 with the same resolution but its screen is about 4 times larger.
You could use the stock or most aftermarket browser and watch 720P YouTube using Flash on normal YouTube site.
simple solution is to not use the app and just use a browser. ive had no issues watching 720p videos in youtube on the browser.

can you post the youtube link so u can test on my Note.
I have also experienced this on other vids and am convinced it may a bit depth limitation of the Note screen... but need to verify.

I've noticed this too with the You Tube app. The blacks sometimes are blocky. A good example is the Avatar 1080p trailer, especially around 15 seconds mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2RCBa3l-g
If I view the same clip on You Tube via a browser (720p settings) it looks better, but the browser is a fiddly substitute for the app on a phone. It does seem to be mostly a bitrate limitation though, so maybe Google or a.n. other hacker needs to modify "HD" on their app to mean a higher bitrate, now we're defining 1280x800 as a mobile screen resolution .
[edit]
Actually, if I watch that Avatar clip in the browser with a playback quality set to 240p or 360p it obviously looks pixelated, but doesn't show the blockiness that's in the You Tube app stream. Looks like the app either is handling the stream differently (badly) or the stream itself is different to that which is sent to the flash plugin in the browser. Wonder if Google is using a different codec for their app. WebM maybe?

about the camera?

plz tell me ...since iv got the phone every pic i had and every pics i take and the youtube hd everything looks very pixel
i see i dont have problem with the screen its ok.but the youtube not looks really hd (even if i thick the good quallity in the settings)
and all the pics if i make little bit zoom it looks pixel?strange
yeah i am on the same boat any news to this ?
Some one????
Even when i watch youtube in 4k that shot with this camera its very pixelly
Youtube or Google +?
My videos on G+ are all pixelated, but if i see them directly from the file they are all ok.
Not following what the issue is here. No issues with YouTube playback or playback of 4k video I've shot

Best Videos to show off your N6 Screen

What videos do you guys/gals keep on your Nexus 6 to help show off how pretty the screen is?
Not necessarily movies or anything like that... Just high quality videos or clips to take advantage of the Quad HD screen...
Share them here!
THIS!! I've been wondering the same thing since I got mine yesterday! I downloaded a 1080p version of Guardians of the Galaxy and it looks good, not great. I've seen a couple YouTube videos in 2K but not enough to really show the screen off.
Used this one last night
This one has great visuals as well as sound. Great for testing the stereo speakers!
Here is a classic screen sample video
Optionally you can download a full quality video.
Is it true that YouTube only plays at 1080p on mobile?
YouTube 5.18.5 supports 2k, but only direct download yet:

Recording Full screen video

Previously was using a Galaxy S6 now the LG G6. I found it to be a very good phone and performance is up to the mark, however I'm a mobile gamer and i have been for the past year recording games and uploading to YouTube. With the S6, the game launcher is something i found to meet all my recording needs. Internal sound recording! Not the case with any screen recorder for my LG. My issue is actually with the screen size. No matter what screen recording app i use for my game recordings it will not record in full screen. More like a large letterbox. Why?
Black borders all around. I adjusted the app scaling and tried different resolutions for the recordings but no joy.
Can anyone help?

Lg g6 ultra wide

Can you watch YouTube in ultra wide? Or just camera and video shots?
I don't exactly know what you mean because in terms of our cameras - the image or video is "ultrawide" because of how the lenses in ultrawide camera work and gather light/image in wider degree. The sensor itself is not "wider" physically. In fact we have identical sensors in both cameras in our G6's
However in terms of video format - yes, you can. If the video is 18:9, it will fit perfectly to your screen covering 100% of it (look at sample videos on YT taken by other 18:9 phones).
18:9 format example: https://youtu.be/Enc1xN4HaAk
Movie formats, 21:9 for example, if made correctly, will fit to our screens with black bars on top and bottom of the screen but these bars will be smaller than on 16:9-display devices.
21:9 format example: https://youtu.be/pEzpiu4zeAc
I meant could I watch YouTube videos in ultrawide mode 21.9 per only 18.9?

Yes, you can, check the second link I pasted.
You won't be able to use pinch-to-zoom feature to remove black bars from the bottom and top but the video plays perfectly fine.
Pinch-to-zoom in YT is only available for the videos that have black bars on the sides because of "smaller" width-to-height ratio than our display has (18:9), 16:9 videos for example.
