Ok. I recorded some video on my AT&T Tilt with a memory card. It plays fine on my phone. Well I want to get it on my computer. When I tried to, it was in the MP4 format. So I opened it with Quicktime and iTunes and it wouldn't play. It said there was an error. So I was gonna convert it. I tried to, but it gave me a warning saying that it would have no sound, so I didn't do that. Then I downloaded VLC Player and when I played the videos, they didn't have sound. I tried putting them in Windows Media Center, didn't work. I tried ActiveSync. Didn't work. There has to be some possible way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happens to me. Now I just record in the other format, QIF I believe. And that works fine.
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!
how did you even get "good" video playback?
how did you even get "good" video on the TILT? is it the change in file type that makes the video better in itself? where do you change it?
You can change to CIF by selecting it from the Capture Settings menu (hit menu when the camera is running) under Resolution. The capture format can be changed from MPEG-4 to H.263 if you go to Advanced > Capture Format.
Recording in a well-lit environment helps. I'm not usually affected by placebo, but I and a few other users have reported increased camera performance after installing the latest test drivers for the Kaiser from htcclassaction.org. It DID seem that the framerate was higher. I can't rule out the possibility that updating to windows mobile 6.1 may have made a difference, but I know I don't keep apps running in the background and the comparison whilst not scientific would be pretty fair.
What can be used to view H.263 on the home pc? Will media player play it? And is there a good reason why it just doesn't record to .wmv or regular old mpeg? As you can tell I am a moron when it comes to video.
VLC will read it

QuickTime will play H.263 encoded files.
The Tilt does not use WMV or MPEG because they do not have formats optimized for mobile devices, so the files end up being huge.
Thanks, that makes sense!
my mp4 videos run fine on wm player! try downloading the vista or xp codec pack which is available on most torrent sites
I know its old but anyway...I record video w/ my kaiser, bluetooth the video over to my laptop, convert with WM convert, open w/ movie maker, edit then post. Sooooooooo easy and no cables required!
You're all going through waaaay to much by using converters & what not. When recording in mpeg4 format just rename the files to ".3gp" after you transfer them to your computer and they will play regularly through quicktime with sound & everything intact.
download K lite codec pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
it will allow windows media player to play ANYTHING, throw and file at it and it will play
VLC Works for me
VLC works for me, try it

Use a converter to be able to edit the video in windows movie maker, it takes like 10 seconds to convert a MPEG4 to WMV. (i've got the codec pack but in order to edit the video you need to convert it.)
hi all
is it possible to make use of the built-in camera mp4 (h264) encoder in a third-party app? the problem is: when i record clips using standard htc software (6.00 build 31516) it creates nice and small mp4 files but in case i want to record them with some other software utilizing the camera all i get is big asf file created with "WMVideo9 Encoder". no chance to select "mp4 encoder" .
any ideas?
regards

Even I had the same problem I tried to see the video on real player and had no sound. Then i played the same video on VLC media player and I can hear the sound. Try the same video in different players. This is on my computer not on phone.
This is a decent site to take the mp4 and convert it to a different format. You could then move it to another program and play with it (i.e. once it's an avi).

I have a TILT 2 & I need help with recording in H264 and MOTION JPEG. Whenever I try to record in these two formats my camcorder does not record anything and the screen turns black. I am thinkin i am missing something from the registry cause 3GP works fine. Can someone that can record in H264 & MOTION JPEG upload all the reg keys located at HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/CAMERA? By the way I used BSB TWEAKS to unlock the hidden video formats I would just like to take a look at the reg keys to see if I might be missing an entry.
What program do most people use to convert their 3gp Video files to mp4 ?
My media streamer doesn't support 3gp. I tried Handbrake but wasn't happy with the results.

quite simply Avidemux 2.5. Best video converter hands down. And it's free.

Simply drag any video in. On the left you can choose what video and audio codec to use. I believe mpeg4(divx) for video, and aac for audio work on the DHD. Then simply choose what container (format) you want to save it as. I believe mp4 works with the DHD. With these settings the Desire HD will be able to playback your videos in hardware mode since these codecs are supported at the hardware level thanks to the new snapdragon chipset. The advantage is its better on battery life, and plays back MUCH smoother than software mode.
After you choose what you want, click save.. and the important part is to write .mp4 at the end of your filename when saving! So it should look like "myfilename.mp4" without quotes for example.
Really brilliant software. Works with every format, even MKV.
edit: maybe i should make a guide for others..
There is also the free and excellent Format Factory :

Hi,
i see all of developers are very busy making new roms or upgrading their current roms. it is cool to try different roms everyday.
But i can not find any solution for video recording on optimus black. we are recording 720p in 3gp format, i think this is unacceptable.
Can we change video output extension to mp4 or sth else ?
Thanks ...

I think that 3gp in our phones is the same as mp4. It's only other extension.
Mp4 is only container for a/v streams. It dosent have anything to do with quality.
Windows movie maket doesn't accept 3gp

have a look for applications which support multiplexing (muxing) of video files into other formats. This means that the video and audio is extracted out of the .3gp container and placed in another container without transcoding video. Takes like 2mins to do.
I do it when muxing .mkv with AVC to .mp4.
