I can't find anything that does this on the software that's included with Mio.
Can anyone help me on this one?
ROM R55
The 'Pictures' app included with Windows Mobile PDA/phones should be able to rotate and save pictures - look closely at the buttons on the bottom row when a picture is open.
As for videos, I'm a bit confused! Do you mean you want to temporarily rotate your videos so that you can view them on landscape on your PDA? Then use TCPMP (Google it), a great freeware media player that plays Divx/XviD, WMV, etc etc...
If you mean actually changing say, a 320x240 video to a 240x320 one (permanent rotation), then I dunno!

Ah, thank you!
Now I saw it. You will have to View the picture, and then press EDIT. I don't know why this is not available on the thumbnail mode...
Thanks!
About the movie, I've heard about tcpmp, but what I want is to change from 320x240 to 240x320.
Thanks for the info!
Anyone else knows how to accomplish this?
That would take actually re-encoding (I think) which even for a 100MB movie would be a bit too much work for a PPC device.
Such app might exist any way but I don't know any.
Try a desktop app called Virtual Dub. It's free and lets you manipulate just about any format in any way (size, orientation, encoding etc.).
TCPMP can of course rotate to landscape easily.
If you want to reformat the source video itself, as Levenum says, use Virtual Dub and apply a filter to rotate. It doesn't take too long, but is a lossy process because you have to re-encode.
This is definitely not something for the PDA, PC only.
If you're recompressing or reformatting for PDAs, I highly recommend SmartMovie, http://www.lonelycatgames.com/index.php?note=smartmovie&chapter=smartmovie
or Lathe/PocketDivXEncoder

Humm..
The thing is I can't play 3gp taken by MIO on Nokia phones. I assume that it can be due to "size", but I don't know.
Thanks for all the input!
Well I don't have a clue how MIO's camera apps work, as I only have a HTC Magician, but try and check that your camera is indeed recording apps to standard 3gp - meaning it uses the H.263/H.264 (i forgot which) or MPEG-4 codec.
Also, as far as I know, only the most recent 'N' series of Nokias and some other high-end Nokias use 320x240 resolution screens. For Series40 Nokias (eg. 6230), the screen resolution usually sits at 128x128, with optimal support for 128x96 videos. Series60 (eg. 6600) usually have 176x200 screens, meaning that 176x144 is best for them. If your MIO has any resemblance to my Magician, its camera app should have options for you to take video at these lower resolutions.
As for resizing existing video, yes VirtualDub is the best, but it won't support 3GP (from my experience the MOD version will only do AVIs and MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 reliably). You could try ImTOO MPEG Converter (Google it), which while of dubious coding quality will convert many files to many other files. A free and perhaps better option is SUPER, though be wary as it will spit out some out of sync files on some formats (but theres so bloody many formats supported that it's hard to list them)!

That's it. Thank you very much!!
I recorded in H.263_AMR 240x320, and since it was sent to a 6630 it wouldn't play it...
I will record and send in 144x176 and try it!
BTW, why does the quality suck on Mio video capture?
Look at these 2 clips and a bit of a picture.
Sorry bout the long reply, been quite busy recently with work!
Anyway, video capture isnt a particularly strong point with Pocket PCs and phones in general... their processors cant capture full 25fps video at high quality - remember thats like taking 25 photos a second! My Magician wont do nice smooth video even at 176x144, and I daresay that the Mio range fares worse since most of them use the slower Windows Mobile 5. Thats just something that no one seems to be able to fix, unfortunately .
However CoolCamera apparently will work better with the camera than the default camera apps... however I don't think its compatible with the Mio. Even if it does, you'll have to pay for it :roll:. Also note that it can only record to AVI - Motion JPEG codec, so it wont play back on Nokias.
EDIT: Not sure if this is the same case with Mios, but on my Magician, formatting the storage card to FAT16 makes a huge difference to read/write times! Try that to speed up your video to storage card!
Well i am not sure,but i think you can change some settings about the video recording.What i wanna say,is that i would like to have some more FPS to my videos.Is it possible to do that by reducing a bit the pixels?Is there a file i might be able to edit to do that?
Hi,
is there pls a way on how to improve the sound quality in recorded video and improve the still image quality/compression ?
The video in 2D and 3D is quite OK but the sound is recorded at 24kHz (while CD quality is 44kHz). Is there a way to get this improved? The sampling rate is quite low and decreases the overall quality of the video.
Also, i'd like to know if there's a way to change/setup jpeg compression for stills. The jpeg files and quite low and missing lots of details, i believe this could be much better if i could adjust the jpeg compression ratio. Is there some way to do it? some xml configuration file that can be modified or other way?
My phone is rooted, stock rom 10D.
Thanx,
Josef

Is there anyway to reduce the video size of Android
You can use MX Player to see videos and change the zoom to more or less by pinching the screen, just like when viewing a picture. There is other gesture support too like changing the volume and brightness. All in all its probably the best video player for Android...
If you are by chance referring to the screen resolution to make your screen smaller for all of your Android display and not just while vieweing videos, then you need to root your phone and use an app like NOMone Resolution Changer
Thnks for replying... but besicaly I want to know that how to reduce the size of camera's video file without reduce the quality. Why Android makes a captured video file size so bigger then its quality and lenth.. Is there any patch for it ??

Oh well i don't know for android
But on PC you can convert the video file to smaller file size

Oh I see! Sorry about that haha!
There are many apps you can use for video file conversion similar to how you would do it on a PC. One such app is Video Compressor, but you can search for many on Play Store if you type in keywords like 'video file size reduce' or 'video converter' etc.
However, if you are sharing on Whatsapp then it automatically reduces the size greatly and before sending and it happens quite fast somehow as opposed to using a video converter. There is no apparent loss of quality as long as you are seeing that video on a phone screen I suppose. If I want to share the video on something other than Whatsapp, what I usually do is Whatsapp it to myself to another phone or to my brother's/friend's phone and then share that file.
I really think Whatsapp has a very good and fast video converter built into their app which they should offer separately!
steps to reduce the video size
1. After installing Video Converter Android on your device, launch it and import the video you would like to shrink. After you select the video, tap the Convert option at the bottom of the screen.
2.Select Manual profile to convert the video and reduce the resolution, bitrate and FPS of the video. The recommended settings while reducing the size of the video is 176×144, 800 and 23.98 respectively. Leave every other settings as it is and convert the video.
The tool will process the video and reduce its size considerably. If the receiver will view the video on the device itself, he will hardly notice the reduced quality. After the conversion is complete you will see the video in the Android Gallery from where you can share it on WhatsApp or at any other social network.
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions :angel::angel::angel::angel:

hi guys can anyone tell me is it possible to record a normal video in 120 fps in my mi4 mobile.
Because i need that to use it in my editing program to slow the video.
My camera is able to record only at 30 fps and its not enough for the editing software to render smooth slow motion video, that i intend to create.
so as per the research i did, i came to know that i need to have a normal speed (real-time) video recording in 120 Fps.
so what should i need to do to increase my mobile's Fps.
