I downloaded Avatar from the net in .mkv format at 1080p. The video looks very choppy and the audio sounds ok. I also downloaded another version .mkv format at 720p. This one the video looks good but the audio starts ok for the first 10 seconds but then it goes away. I've tried rockplayer and mvideoplayer and nothing seems to work. please help me.

you mean the video player that comes with the captivate.

Any help please.

Yea, the video player that is stock on the Captivate.
I'm just curious how you got a file that big on your phone. I've never been able to transfer anything bigger than 4GB to my captivate. A 720p or 1080p rip of Avatar both have to be bigger than 4GB.

720p
You will be surprised that a 720p video is less than 2gb in size.
The video player that comes built into the Captivate will play .mkv videos.
When I play a movie, I usually go to "My Files"> folder where I have the movies> and play it from there. It will open the Captivates Video player.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Recording Video Other than 3gp?

Hey everyone, got my Inspire 4g yesterday and love it. However, whenever I record video it is only in the 3gp format. Is there an option I am missing to have it record in a h.264 format? Any help would be great.

Old Threat but I am in the same situation. I wonder why my HTC Inspire only record Videos in 3GP format?

Find an app that supports recording in another format. There are a few apps that will record and save in different formats. Mind you the stock video player doesnt play all formats

or mobile converter??

Those are all great ideas and im not sure why nobody has seemed to try to make an app for recording in mp4..

Our phones DO record in .MP4 format already. 3GP is just a file container. If you would really like to change the format from .3gp to .MP4 you can most likely do it with perm-root/ S Off and / or possibly with another camera app.
Don't get too worked up though because you are already recording in .MP4.
Hope this helps DAWGS.

[Q] Xoom record video in MP4 not 3GP?

I hate to post a nooby question but I have searched and searched and cannot understand, or find an answer to my question.
I have a Xoom and several months ago it recorded video in MP4 file formats and stored the files under the "video" file folder in the gallery. Sometime ago it stopped doing this and is now recording video in 3GP and storing the video in the camera folder.
I know that the 3GP is a variant of MP4 but my networked media players do not support the file extension and I do not want to have to edit the files manually.
Why/how did this change and how do I revert to recording video in the MP4 format?
Thanks.

Anyone with some experience can recommend an app?

somewhere in the developer forum there is a modified XML that changes the video recording of the camera to mp4 and boosts its quality. If I recall, though, the variable frame rate that the Xoom records with screws up playback (for me at least) on an Xbox.

Thanks Jeff. I will search it out.

Editing CM7 M4V videos with Avidemux

Hi,
Not sure if this is the best place for this question, but just on the chance that anyone knows a solution
Basically I have CM7 on my HTC desire and as far as I can see, it records in M4V which is h264 or something?
Anyway, I recently downloaded Avidemux video editor and opened a file I recorded off the desire to do minor editing (removing audio from a few seconds of the video, still haven't figure out how to do that either )
anyway, on inserting the video file, I get a warning saying "H.264 Detected: If the file is using B-Frames as a refrence it can lead to a crash or stuttering. Avidemux can use another mode which is safe but YOU WILL LOSE FRAME ACCURACY. Do you want to use that mode?"
then when I playback the video, there's a big delay on the audio sync. It plays fine in media player classic.
Any help or feedback appreciated

That's a generic problem with Avidmux and H.264 that I've run into numerous times and not related to CM7. I get the same problem using my Hauppauge HD PVR recording HD from component video to my Linux system. I'm had some success using Handbreak to convert formats but still looking for a decent non-linear video editor that will handle this stuff. I've about given up on Avidmux. Sorry for not being much help. :-/

Thanks for the reply. That's a pity, is there any format that would work easily with Avidemux, that CM7 can record in also, or is CM7 only for wm4? As far as I remmeber, leodroid recorded in 3GP?
