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.

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
I am really desperate to get sensation next month.. My only concern is its recording in 3GP format which None of the HD media players support..
I want to play an Mp4 format movie on my HD media player. I heard Sensation car record in mp4 now after 2.3.4 update..
Just a short 720p and 1080p (5-10seconds) video is enough to test it..
Thanks
I just recorded a video at 1080p and it only does 3GP - no option to change to MP4
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078414
Then why is it so that few members Here said they could record videos in Mp4 format?
Do i have to install a custom Rom to get that option?
Possibly, I'm using my own ROM based on the XE RUU and recording at 1080p does it in 3GP. Whether using lower quality uses MP4 I don't know
T-Mobile USA Rom has been changed to MP4 for recording format. I'll see if I can upload a quick video to mediafire.
There you go.

Hey thanks that really helped... Its playable on my HD media player..... Cant play those 3GP video ****ty formats... I dont know why HTC adopted that? they should have realized that we watch HD movies on TV with Mediaplayers. No on PC everytime...
Should I consider that the same codec will be ported to other stock roms aswell?
btw... u had to record a pixeled video of tv.. for first second i got scared that it has such a bad quality recording then my eyes fell on TV frame..
Is that an indoor video taken in low light? I know all mobiles mess up recording indoors... but I expect sensation's Video quality to be equal or maybe better than SGS2 atleast...
I know in stills sgs2 is better but Video looked quite the same in both sets in youtube video samples..
...so yesterday I filmed fireworks underneath London Eye, since it lasts for 13min in size it's 1.4GB, I wanted to reduce it's size to smaller to put it on youtube, otherwise I'm at the moment with broadband and they are really unstable regarding connect. I tried vegas 7.0, but for some reason it doesn't recognize .mp4 file and sometimes it does recognize but makes this 13min video into 108h video and then it just freezes (app).
any ideas?
Happy New Year to everyone by the way!
You can use virtualdubmod on a windows pc. Load the video into it and save the video as an avi with xvid compression. Virtualdubmod and the xvid codec are both freeware and googling them will find the download links for you.
Also if you want to edit the video virtualdubmod can do that easily.

You can use this free windows program http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/ to patch video header and make it a standard mp4 that any software can open

tried this app, but it doesn't shrink size, just convert into AVI, that's all. Thanks anyway.

for some reason it can't recognize .mp4 video what I filmed with O3D and tried the other recommended app which turns .mp4 into .avi's and it still shows some error about:
Couldn't find decompressor for format 'H264' (unknown)
The mpeg4avi program only fixes the video header so any software will read it as a h264 mpeg four video file.
After patching it you can use the new version, it defaults to calling it videout.avi, in any progran to edit it.
If your choice of program can't read it you just need to install a h264 codec like this one at http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/ as that lets virtualdub see the video.
Basically you need a h264 codec, an xvid codec, virtualdubmod and all you do then is....
1. In virtualdubmod choose open file option and load your video
2. For compression choose xvid and set it how you want or leave it at its default setting
3. Choose to save avi. It will reduce size based on your settings for compression.

tnx, it cut size in bout half, but still 700mb for 11min, tried to edit it in Vegas 7.0, but it just recognize only sound, not picture.
Vegas nay need a direct show h264 filter like the free ffmpeg one as opposed to the vfw one I linked to.
You can get hd video down to about four hundred megabytes by trying different settings such as lower bitrate in xvid or setting it to have a quantiser of more than 1. The easiest way is encode a short thirty second clip in virtualdub to test different settings. On youtube some similar length hd videos are as small as 250 mb but it depends on your compression settings mainly.

changing video moe from full proccessing mode to different would decrease size also?

You have to have full processing on. It can only be off for things like converting framerate that do not require changes to the actual video itself. But you should be able to get good results with bitrates as low as 1500 k its just a case of finding compression settings you prefer.

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?
Hi, im having the following issue when trying to share the videos i recorded with my HTC U11, hope there is some fix for this.
I recorded a video with High-Res and the only way to share this video is with .mkv format, but the video needs to be edited and when is imported to Premiere there is no audio, neither if i convert the video to mp4 with media encoder, also tried to convert with VLC but no success.
Is there anyway or option that i missing to either extract the audio and insert it on a mp4, or convert the entire video to mp4 with audio?
Thanks.
Try media converter by antvplayer.
