Video Quality Record Options on Froyo - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know which one of the following quality options gives the best video? The options are "High, Low, MMS & YouTube". I've tried high and youtube, both giving me the same bitrate, so just wondering if they're using the same codecs. Would obviously prefer one that did h264, not vp8, which Google seemed gung-ho about at the conference.

Coreplayer 1.2.1 With Youtube Integration is OUT !!!

The new core player 1.2.1 with youtube integration is OUT !!!
Go to Mobihand and enjoy.

Great news thanks
As core player does not have a trial, and is pretty expensive, could you do some screen shots of this feature?

just check out the video

Cool. Thanks. Pretty nice. Looks like I will be shelling out, after refusing to pay for software without a trial for more than a year now.
Anyway, any way to get core player to play .flv files saved from YouTube. I know it does not support it natively, but I wonder if there is a hack or not.

Youtube integration works like a charm but trying to use H.264 for streaming (highest quality) makes me lose ~75% of the frames.
I dunno I guess I didn't expect it to be perfect but it's totally unwatchable. The medium settings works fine but looks worse than the flash video bundle with tcpm. (The actual interface is retty nice though a bit unresponsive and it doesn't always bring up the video when clicking a video, thus making you have to change "view" to see the actual video. pretty annoying.)
That youtube integration looks kinda slick.
I have core player, and am very happy with how it plays the videos I have on my storage card. It's clearer and sharper than WMP or TCPMP.
I don't have the you tube integration yet. What advantage does it have over TCPMP? Does it upload faster, or play the videos better? Sounds like undac didn't find the quality to be all that great.

eeks, h.264 youtube LOOKS great, but as undac pointed out...it's unwatchable... dropped-frame city...
medium setting RUNS great but looks bad...
so still flash video player and tcpmp for quality youtube...
if you just wanted to watch a video asap and didn't mind the quality, well medium setting core player would work ...
I tried the new version and really like the YT interface. I played several videos via WiFi and 3G and saw good results, video's only dropped about 5 frames in 2,500 pretty consistant with both radios with h.264's and zero frames with MPEG4s.
To select videos, I pressed the "i" icon on the right of each video, then in the larger info screen, pressed the play icon. Worked every time and seemed pretty responsive as well.
Edit, Oops, that was with the stock settings (Medium), when I changed the network setting for YT to high quality, the Kaiser chokes as reported. It played 101 frames and dropped 1515! Is this strictly a Kaiser/Tilt missing video driver issue??? and other PDA's function with this setting??
Just tested several H.264 Videos over wifi. 10000k frames played 400 dropped - frame rate 25.68. Thats pretty acceptable to me.
Not sure why my is performing better than some. Yes I did check to make sure it was h.264 High.
any1 have the cab for this? I know its not free I have purchased it but for some reason handago didnt provide me with the link for new version they still are selling the old one.

I am sure they will have it soon enough. No warez posting is allowed here. Mobihand.com of course has it already and I have to say it really is working nice. Love the youtube interface and streaming is really flawless with hsdpa.
High quality (H264) YouTube playback over wifi on my HTC Advantage is virtually flawless in CP 1.2.1 - I have it set to use the ATI Imageon video decoder w/acceleration selected. Supposedly the ATI chip doesn't have the capability to do hardware acceleration of H264 but in CP 1.2 and 1.2.1 I get incredibly smooth playback of H264 video (not at 640x480 unfortunately).
Can anyone advise on optimum settings van CorePlayer?
YouTube doesn't look too good here either. Can anyone advise on the best video (and other) settings to use with CorePlayer 1.2.1 / TyTN II?

I would just suggest you make sure under video settings you have the qtv option selected.

The "default" setting for Youtube video's is the crappy 3gp mode
to get H.264 goto
menu -> tools -> preferences -> Network
and amend the "YouTube Format" to "h264 (High Quality)"
Also make sure
menu -> tools -> preferences -> video
has "video Output" set to "QTV Display" (I'd recommend setting it to GDI first, exit, restart, set to QTv, exist and then restart)
QTv mode has some quirks (it wont display some of my album art) but for video it's way better than GDI

bratag, can you post links to some youtube vids and your live benchmark on them over wifi at h.264?
I've only tested it a little and so far it seems great to me. Having Youtube integrated kicks ass. Here is a sample I tested:
with three bars on HSDPA and Youtube set to high quality...
Wolverine trailer
320X240 25 fps
1405 frames played
165 frames dropped
actual framerate 22.373
Im sure that larger pixel dimension files will drop more frames. But so far I am happy. This CoreCodec team is the heat. First the QTV overlay and now youtube. Props
It very much depends on the size of the youtube video. Anything over about 480x runs choppy. You have to go down to medium for that. But anything encoded at a lower size than that is fine

Video/ sound sync probs

Audio is not properly synced to video much of the time. It was bad on rooted stock but still problematic on nookie froyo.
What is the reason for this? Is there a fix?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Not sure what video you're referring to but suffice it to say that for optimum quality of video file playback re-encode your video to a format that the hardware acceleration of the nook supports by default.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894165&highlight=handbrake+preset
My recommendation is to re-encode using Handbrake with the preset posted in the first post in that thread. The only other change I'd suggest to that preset is to change the video setting to constant quality at a setting of 22 (or 20 if the format of the original file is smaller than 720 pixels wide).
Video playback questions pop up almost every other day on this forum and it always ends up being a debate about what works and what doesnt. Much of the time the difference is basically subjective opinion on what is acceptable playback quality. Some are satisfied with some audio lag when playing back avi or other format files using 3rd party software. Others demand no dropped frames and perfect audio sync which is where your best bet is re-encoding to MP4 in H.264 baseline.

Video Recording (Audio Scenes help)

Haven't been able to find much info about the Audio Scenes available when shooting video. Do they just change which microphone(s) is used while recording? If so, can someone tell me which ones use which mics? And is it really best to use Concert setting while at a show, or would Everyday get a fuller sound? Thanks!

Recommended Handbrake Settings

Can anyone recommend some good settings for converting videos for the Bionic thru Handbrake? I found some online but they didn't really seem to be optimized for the Bionic. TIA
bump...anyone have recommendations for using Handbrake?
I was wondering the same thing, but then I just threw the videos on my phone, downloaded Rock Player and let it do its thing....no more converting

Thanks for the reply. What's the resolution of the videos you're playing, and is the playback quality any better with Rock Player vs. default player?
The reason for the thread is because I have a lot of movies in 720p format that have choppy playback on the Bionic. I found this somewhat ironic since the video camera allows you to shoot video in 1080p and it plays back fine. So I copied one of my 1080p vids recorded by my phone over to my PC so I could look into stuff like the frame rate and audio settings to try to figure out what settings I should be using in Handbrake. And despite my best efforts, the videos I convert in Handbrake still have choppy playback.
Since the Bionic has HDMI output capabilities, I'd like to find out what are the best settings in Handbrake to preserve picture quality while maintaining smooth playback on an HDTV.

Video recording (Audio) inconsistensy

I have noticed random audio qualities when capturing video on my Stock Vivo V20. Im on the latest verion Funtouch OS PDDD2039F_EX_A_1.15.1.
I have done tests with variying and constant volumes to test what triggers the difference in Audio capture quality.
These two videos below was the best ones i replicated the issue on. Both videos were recorded next to each other with the same volume, distance and song on loop.
One video sounds full quality and the other sounds boosted for mid or vocal ranges. And there are no settings for this in the app or the phone.
Any insights on this or fixes?
