I'm now uploading them to facebook but noticed vid quality got reduced on that platform.
I will probably go dropbox in the meantime.
Why is youtube direct upload still missing?

Just wait for LazyTube 3.0 which will offer direct upload of your videos to YouTube.

Your "trick" doesn't work at least on Samsung Focus.
P.S. Budniu, are you able to upload 720p video longer than 25-30 seconds? I just tested on Samsung Focus/HTC Surround, I can only upload max 20 seconds of 720p video. So as I said it's useless (at least for me). However probably we can do some registry tweaks to extend current attachment limit...

Now I tried upload only that movie: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18602238&postcount=6 (28 seconds but not 720p). Tomorrow I try upload 720p longer than 30 seconds.

Nice, but we can't upload movies other than records by that app. Eg. I have movie with my son and I want upload that. How I can do by WP7 device with "Social Camera" ?
Ok I checked - movie 720p longer than 30 seconds can't upload by that method. You rights, sr.

let's wait then, in the meantime I'll do it with a PC.
I really don't understand why facebook can't handle 720p vids correctly...
I am currently running stock unrooted ROM 32.1.A.1.185 with unlocked bootloader. The video is currently to record in Full HD at 30 fps. When I inspect the details it says 1920x1080 but the file size does not look right. A 7 second video is around 15 MB or so. When I upload the video to Facebook and YouTube it's not recognised as HD. YouTube reports the size as 360p!
Has anyone else had this issue? I have trawled around as well as I could and found nothing reported. Do I just have a faulty phone?
Thanks,
D.
Further findings:
If I upload a video by recording it through the FB app then the HD option is available when viewing. If I record the video outside FB, then share it through the FB app, the HD option is not available when viewing! Go figure...
thats very odd and I dont know any solution aside to reflash the stock firmware of your device
I havent tried with youtube but anywhere where ive uploaded a video recorded from my phone it shows as 1080p
Very strange indeed. It seems to be weirdly network connection dependent. If I watch the same YouTube video on my desktop, on wired network, the 1080p option is available. If I watch it on the same network, but WiFi, it's only showing 480p!
Very odd im not sure what could be causing this but i know of some similar odd issues where youtube wouldent load on wifi for me some time ago, this was with my xperia z2 and a reflash and reset of the device solved this.
Hey I just got my h5 and so far loving it. Has anyone gotten the 360 cam? I'm excited to get it but have a question on it. How does the process for sharing the photos work? If I were to share it with an iOS device, do I share it like any other photo and they can see the 360 effect ?

No - sharing has been the biggest challenge with the camera. But I absolutely love the camera.
If you text it to them, or even email it, it almost always comes as a flat jpeg when opened on a mobile device or even desktop/laptop.
What I have taken to doing is to upload it to either Google Photos or Flickr, and then sharing direct links to the photos via text or email, but even then on iOS they have to tap the photo (or the 360 icon) to see it in it's full mode. It's a bit of a challenge and Android has an advantage on viewing these on mobile devices at the moment (especially if you share the link via Google Photos).
On a desktop/laptop, Google Photos or Flickr both look really nice and there is not much more work to be done by the end user. It's much more intuitive on a bigger screen.
Videos are also a challenge - you can upload them to Facebook without much issue. Youtube requires you to package them first before they can be viewed as 360.
It's definitely an early adopter problem and will probably get easier in time.
I'm still debating on getting it. I love the idea

Question about video length: I read in the manual that at highest video quality, time is limited to 20 minutes. However it also says that if it hits the maximum file size of 4 GB that it will continue recording in a new file. So is it possible to record longer than 20 minutes, and does it just break it into extra files?

That was not true of the original software, but I haven't tried if since the two updates. It was originally limited to just 20 minutes at a time, and then you had to hit record again.
But if it's in the manual that way now, I will try it again right now with the May 24th update and see what happens!
EDIT: Just to update, it did not roll into another file and continue recording. At 20 minutes (2.44 gb) it stopped recording and that was it (Software version R10510e).
OK, thanks for testing it out. Too bad, that is the one thing holding me up from buying one.
As long as there won't be a way to see pictures and videos without an online service, I won't buy it.
I haven't tried to share videos yet, but for the photos sphereshare.net is pretty cool. They have an Android app as well. I used my cam pretty heavily the first few days after I got it...Now it just sits. :-/
Video sharing remains an issue.
So far, the only way to get decent stitching is to download it from the 360cam wirelessly to the G5, then share that file.
Pulling the video off the microSD card from the 360cam, injecting the spatial metadata as instructed on this page:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6316263
and uploading those results to youtube gives really sh*tty stitching.
Has any tried taking a photo/video from two of these next to each other and putting it into a 3D 360 file for use in VR headsets? I really don't understand the point of using a VR headset with a 2D image, even if it is 360 degrees.

You don't need to bother with any of that. Just upload the video to YouTube and wait for a few minutes after the processing has finished. the 360 video works very well with YouTube with no stitching.
EDIT: I checked for another firmware update today and there was one waiting.

Hmm, the ones I uploaded without the 360 mod never got converted. And the ones that had the mod had crappy stitching.
Maybe I need to wait longer for the non-modded version to get processed?

Only if you don't edit the video in youtube editor. If you want to upload the original video, it does just fine, but cutting the time of the video down or fixing potential shaking and it won't be recognized as 360. At least in my experience.
I just started using it as a dashcam, it's pretty neat the only issue i have right now is the 20 minute limit, gotta figure out a way to have it start a new recording after the 20 minutes.

Here's an attachment picture of the auto 'stitching' boundary done by Youtube. Not good at all, compared to what you view on the phone after downloading:
Now, this was recorded without the more recent firmwares, just the one it came with.
I just upgraded the more recent 10G version, so maybe that makes a difference to youtube.

That's what I mean. The YouTube stitching is awful (using their tool).
Yes, you have to wait for quite a long time for the YouTube conversion to happen automatically after you upload the file. The longer the video, the longer the wait.
EDIT: I have noticed that the stitching is much worse in poor light conditions. Bright light, no problems.
So, still no way to selh host his videos/photos in 360. No self hostable player ?
I mean, I host all my services on personal servers at home, and don't want to be dependant of youtube/wathever to host my videos.
Questions about video :
The video resolution, is it only 2k?
Can we record 1080p? If yes, is it also limited to 20 minutes?
Thanks
Anyone able to upload 360 picture directly to and have it show up properly?
Can't seem to be able to do it

Directly to what? I've been Hawaii this weekend and am giving my 360 cam a good break in... take pictures, transfer to phone, upload to Facebook flawlessly so far.
Hi,
I’m experiencing difficulties sending Videos using WhatsApp on the U12+, and I’d like to ask if anyone else has had the same issue? The problems have been...
1) WhatsApp throws up an error message, telling me that the video cannot be sent and that I should try another file.
2) Audio within some sent videos is corrupted (loud screeching/crackling noises).
If my mind serves be correctly, the problem seems to happen mostly with videos where I have zoomed in at some point. However, I because 95% of affected videos never sent in the first place - I can’t check back through my history to be sure that I’m right about that.
I found a German forum where somebody asked the same question, but no clear answer was found (although there was a suspicion that it had something to do with the audio recording mode). Additionally, the Play Store only has only one app review from a U12 user and he/she also refers to problems sending video.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Craig.
Got the same type of issue with Facebook Messenger, where the app was complaining about this "mp4 video format" not supported.
I recorded it with HTC camera app in 1080p 60fps.
No issue anymore if recorded in 1080p 30fps. Have a try...

I ran across something interesting yesterday when I was researching YouTube compatibility with the U12+'s videos.
What is your audio set to, 3D or High Res? High Res results in the video being saved as an .mkv, which isn't widely supported. 3D results in a fileformat that I'm unsure of, but it's apparently common enough to upload.

"Default" mode, so 3D.

Crap, sorry. I thought it was worth a shot.
Ni,
I had the same problem but unfortunately those times that happened to me I was not able to give an explanation ... I also assumed that it was a problem of use zoom but in the last wrong posting I had a video without apperenti problems of 42 seconds converted in 11MB he didn't want to go. So today I tried all the combinations of options that I found in the camera and the only one that gave me an error in sending was when I selected sonic zoom audio.
The real problem is that I think that in some way changing from the front camera to the normal one somehow changes the option, or during some updates.
So my advice is to check before registering if this mode is active.
For example in the last test I've recorded with the normal camera with high resolution audio then set to 3d audio. Now in the front camera I find high resolution audio but in the front I never touched options and I'm sure that before the beginning of my tests it was on 3D audio.
