Cupcake video recording details needed. - G1 Android Development

I'm wondering what the specs are for video recording under android 1.5/cupcake?
What resolutions will this phone do? What frame rates will those resolutions handle? What video and audio format does it record to?
I've looked around, but have not found anything this specific with regards to cupcake...
Anyone have any details?

Nobody has any idea?
Can anyone with cupcake installed tell me what options are available in the video recorder?

It records 3gp video, but I don't know what codec it uses.
The options are only for high quality or lower quality.
One of the HTC builds that I've triend also had a choice between differenc codecs, one of them being MPEG-4 (can't remember the second one).
I've recoded a short clip, you can inspect it and see what codecs it uses: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/39463944/file.html
Here's the information that VLC gives:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

I was able to play it on VLC in Linux (Ibex), but it had no sound, so only video. Overall the quality was pretty good (for cell phone standards), and there is an option to auto upload/publish to youtube which is kind of neat

I have no sound either. It must use some weird non-standard sound codec.

Thanks Karolis.
So was this taken with the high quality or low quality?

This was HQ. LQ is for MMS messages.

It does have audio, using the (S)AMR codec (Adaptive Multi-Rate). This codec is not shipped with precompiled versions of VLC due to legal issue. You can get it if you compile yourself.

I've installed both: amrnb and amrwb separately, and the video still has no sound

My sound played fine when I used quicktime. Here's the format reported under quicktime if you're wondering.

There's sound for me also.
I'm using media player classic from cccp

Here is a video I upped to youtube via the phone.

Ya the .99 VLC would not play sound
Dude.92 is the distrib im using

I guess it was too much to hope for 640x480 at 30fps like the Xperia.

Developers....idea for YouTube?

Is there a way to rewrite the YouTube program to direct it to other sites? Seems it would just need a way to manually enter addresses.
The Youtube program itself doesn't handle the playback of video, it's just a wrapper that interacts with the special Youtube-specific features like comments and user ratings.
That said, when you visit youtube, you're actually viewing m.youtube.com content, or RTSP/3GP video. This is not FLV video. That means there is no way right now to easily modify the existing software to view other sites unless they have RTSP/3GP content. An example of a non-Youtube RTSP/3GP site would be www.zoovision.com Visit it in the browser and you can watch the videos in the streaming viewer.
By the way an excellent RTSP/3GP site is www.vuclip.com. They transcode content from other streaming video sites into RTSP/3GP.

Android being Open Source Project, is the main reason seems that they have not implemented other other Codecs and Video Streaming Protocol out of the Box,
3GP is Third Generation Mobile Partnership Protocol and Free to use without Patents. I think we only could get other codecs as Addons from Google, but getting it as In built will be a Problem.

3GP is not a codec; it is a container for audio and video streams like how FLV is a container. Android probably has libavcodec or something which can handle most commonly used AV codecs. It can definitely play back H263 and H264.
Interesting !!!
Not sure if the streaming is exactly the same for VUclip, Zoovision, etc.
On Youtube, I get zero frame bleed on GSM or up to Wifi and the vids scale to connection (GSM, Edge, 3G and wifi)
Wifi looks amazing on the G1- as good as desktop view (IMO).
I get a LOT of frame bleed even when using wifi for any site other than Youtube.
The bleed is so bad the vids are not watchable. Very few do not exhibit this issue, but I could
just be unlucky with it.

Can't watch any movie at all

Two weeks ago I hard bricked my LGP920 (firmware update screen) and last week I got a replacement through LG's 24-hour service, but the phone has had a problem from the beginning: I can't play any videos. At least not properly.
I haven't rooted my device, it's running on T-mobile and version v10d.
When I record a video and try to watch it it simply says "can't play video"
The 3D videos that were on the phone were all green and blocky
Youtube videos are also green and blocky.
It doesn't matter whether they're in 3D or 2D
The strange thing is:
I can make pictures, watch pictures, make the videos themselves, play games, do whatever all without any problems.
When recording a video I can see the preview just fine, the playback is broken though...
Sometimes the video recorder (stock) crashes to homescreen right after pressing "stop recording"
I've tried the LG software update, it didn't make any difference.
I've also tried resetting to factory settings from android's recovery menu, no luck.
I cant suggest an answer but I can say that the problems you describe often happen on computers where it needs a specific video codec installed and maybe something is missing on the phone you have.
You could try playing videos with a different player and see if they then play properly, if they do it would suggest a problem specific to the video player I think but other than clearing its cache from the phones settings I cant suggest a solution.

I agree with you that it looks like a codec problem.
I've tried the stock media player, the youtube app and the ES File browser media player. All act the same.
I forgot to mention this:
Sometimes the video recorder (stock) crashes to homescreen right after pressing "stop recording"
Sometimes, very rarely, I manage to record a video that does play, but it will be a black screen with only the sound...
Have you tried resetting it to factory settings? Worth a try before trying to get a replacement best of luck!

Yes I have
Also I just tried formatting the SD. No luck.
I just tried recording a video and playing it on my computer.
The sound works kind of ish, but this is a screenshot of VLC playing it:

So you don't know the solution?
Thats what vlc looks like when playing a low resolution video that it cannot decode properly, which is odd as the picture should be much bigger. If on vlc you go to the menus and click the menu option (second menu from right I think) that says media information it will show you the resolution and codecs used.
It will at least help determine if its a codec (on phone) problem or a recording malfunction. Was the video high definition or 3D?

[Q] Is Nvidia Shield HDCP Protected?

Does anyone know if the Shield is HDCP protected? I'd like to use something like an Elgato Game Capture to capture video.
Thanks!

People have been recording video from the HDMI output, although I believe HDCP will kick in if you try to watch a movie via Google Movies.

Even if, you can use Apps like Fraps to record it anyway

I am aware of software / apps that can capture video; however fraps is not available as an android application (as far as I know). Additionally fraps affects your framerate and whatnot when you play, unless you have a really overkill PC.
I'd like to capture video of Android games. There are some apps like Screencast etc that are software solutions, however again they are software based, affect your framerate, and screencast is not currently compatible with Tegra.
Hardware screen capture products (capture cards, elgato, etc) have several advantages over software based solutions like fraps. They don't affect your framerate, and some have hardware video encoding. Elgato has hardware h264 encoding.
If google movies activates HDCP anyway to disable it or should it just be off when the app is closed?
I'm asking because I had no problem recording my games with my avermedia gamebroadcaster HD but all of a sudden i cant record anything not even the homescreen because it says HDCP protected and the only thing I can think of that I last did was bought that free elf giveaway on the play store.
I am not trying to record anything but some emulators which used to work just fine.
Any ideas?
I'm also having trouble recording with a PVR

[Q]Yuv\rgb16 color format problem on (some) x264 10bit files

yuv works absolutely fine on every hi10 i tried , x265 , everything with 99% stable fps
except some of the x264 10bit , it generates black artifacts on white backgrounds like this one​

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
only fix i know is to switch to rgb32 , 16 doesn't solve this
and on my xperia z3 , no roms , 4 months old it runs slow , with cores up to 4 and it sucks to keep changing the color format depending on what i'm watching​
RGB32 is the superior format in terms of picture quality. Based on how the colourspace is defined in the hi10 profile, it's expected that artefacts may occur on YUV and RGB16; I don't think that anything can be done about this...
It is true that RGB32 is more processor intensive; unfortunately nothing can be done about that.
It looks like artifacts from some HW/HW+ decoder.
Please try SW decoder if HW/HW+ was used.
It was with s/w , cant run it with h/w
I dont mean anything bad really but other video players with yuv ran good -no artifacts- with the same fps
-But they're audio was far inferior quality and loudness also the 200% boost so..-
Is this something to be fixed in future updates or by custom codecs or something?
Thanks for the replies

MXPlayer Pro can't handle .TS stream from TVHeadend

Hi there,
I need some help in order to make use of MXPlayer as a player for my TVHeadend streams on Android.
I have a TVHeadend Server setup and working perfectly on my Raspberry Pi Zero. I'm used to watching these streams on a RPi 3 running OSMC/Kodi without issues.
Here's where I am stuck. I want to use MXPlayer to use these .ts streams to no avail. I only get a garbled image and a chopping sound.

I am in Brazil. Here we have as a Digital TV standard a variation of ISDB-T, called ISDB-Tb.
I know it uses H.264 and AAC.
Both AFAIK are supported by mxplayer pro.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have attached the logs,
Also, As I get home today, and sampled a .ts file. I've noticed that MXPlayer Pro can play this sample as you'll find out.
But it cannot stream it. It is NOT a bandwidth issue. I know that because the default video player can play (without sound) the same streaming coming from TVHeadend.
Hope that helps

I have tried to stream the video from a remote location & couldn't find any such issues.
The logs in your report are only a few lines. Looks like some other process is generating more logs & MX logs are getting erased before you collect the report. Can you increase the log buffer size in developer options of your device & collect the logs again after reproducing the issue?
does it happen with all decoders?
basically, HW decoder uses the same media player API used in stock video players. So, it should behave exactly same as your default player in most of the cases. What about HW+ & SW?
Here is the log with increased size (4MB)
I have tested with HW+ and SW.
With HW+ it behaves basically the same as HW with the difference that it plays a couple of seconds more before stalls with a garbled image.
SW: it plays, sort of, losing A/V sync. Unwatchable.
Hope that helps;
same here, instead of that if I save the stream to local storage, mx player can play A+V with HW
