Can anyone provide me with a method on how to change the video recording formats from .mp4 back to .3gp ??
I seem to have a problem with video recording so i would like to see if making it back to .3gp helps or not.
Please help me !!

ARHD 3.6.13
I once used ICS ROMs but the camera and camcorder have very big issues in my phone and in Sense 3.0 ROMs there are not that big problems
And thank you very much

My actual problem is that whenever I record videos, I cant play them I dont know why and when I see the details of the video, the file size is around normal but the length of the video is 0:00
If you can help me with this, please do

Erm, there might be a setting in the Camcorder app to change the file to 3GP.
If not, download an Camcorder app from the Play Store that does record in 3GP and see what happens.

Hi
How to change video recording format? I have only 3gp. Is there any way to change it on mp4??
not with the stock app at least...look around the market or the themes and apps thread for different cam apps
I haven't found any

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.
So what is high bigmem and bigmem? I know that it gets me more usable ram with a sacrifice of something. For example my 720p mkv video playback was broken. Was it becasuse of the rom or the kernel? I came from stock rom. On the stock rom I could watch "How I met your mother" 720p mkv but now I can. So the question is. How can I get the HW accelerated 720p mkv video playback back without losing vodoo sound and others? I tried non high bigmem versions but just didn't work. Any help would be much apriciated!
Edit:
Here's the answers in case anybody come across to this problem in the future. It was kernel related. To be exact it's bigmem I think. I've installed the stock ROM (with stock kernel ofcourse) and the video just started using the hw decoder. smooth 720p mkv. No lag at all. With subtitles. After that I installed a kernel with bigmem ( marmite 5.1 stock edition) and the video playback no longer worked. Now I'm using stock ROM with Simple kernel. Damn! I didn't know the stock ROM is faster than the AOKP one.

thanks for the tip but it didn't work for me. I can hear the sound but no video. After a few seconds the player freezes. Nowhere near compared to the stock. Anybody please help. I don't know whether it's the rom or the kernel. I'm using rasbeanjelly with marmite v5.

try air kernel or matrix
or it maybe the case of just re-flashing the ROM

I'll try matrix kernel! I've used air kernel for about 2-3 (when new version came out I upgraded immediately) but I could not watch 720p mkv either. I really miss 720p mkv playback feature but I just don't wanna go back to stock. So all my hope is in matrix kernel

yes it's really cool! Latest rasbean jelly is 4.1.2. I would flash the stock rom if it had volume rocker music controls. it's the only thing which is holding me back.
On my Vibrant which is the same hardware, I use MX Player, generally h/w acceleration for video and set audio to software decoding. Play most MKV with no problem. The older version 1.6 also have a fast software mode that make it capable of playing almost any videos smoothly, but they took it away with the new version.
The bitrate of the video and your internal storage read speed do determine the playback smoothness.

I'm using mx player too but it only plays that in software decoding mode. When I choose hw decoding mode it says that it cannot play it in hw decoding mode. Hw+ decoding mode won't work either. Tomorrow I'll flash back the stock rom with different kernel. See if it works.
Ps: Matrix kernel didn't work either. No hw playback.
It means the player do not have codec to decode that video, maybe you should reencode it to h.264 in mp4 container.
Also I recommend keeping a copy of the MX Player 1.6, it can even manage most hd video in software fast decoding. Sure it won't be highest quality, but the Nexus screen isn't exactly HD.

Playerpro music player has volume rocker controls.
If I recall correctly while the vibrant has basically the same hw it also has different hw. Including decoders. Like with the missing encoder for 720p video recording with the camera for example.
Can't remember exactly but I think it was Samsung with the galaxy s line that was able to play back mostly anything because they included encoders and all the licensing that goes along with it. Then again maybe not. I'm sure others know more or you can just investigate it yourself

I'll try different combinations as soon as i got home. I know it works. It used to work tho.
Edit: I've edited the first post. Got my answers now. Thanks for the help guys!
My first thread, hopefully in the right area of this amaz forum.
I've been testing various ICS roms on my P500, but all of them share the well-known issue of missing preview thumbnails and playing mp4 videos in gallery apk (so you have to download MX Player and so on)..
As workaround, I though to edit the /etc/media_profiles.xml to try to force the camcorder to record vids in 3gp, yet, no luck in doing this, I am sure I am missing something, because it keeps recording mp4 instead of 3gp.
Any hint? Thank you.

Yes I did. No luck, ouch! Any other suggestion?
After installing JB on Rogers Infuse 4G all mp4, avi video is unplayable, too choppy and stuttering. Works perfect on GB roms. Was looking around and could not find a fix for it (something to do with memory usage? as per Galaxy S forum). Any ideas?
SOLVED..
after reflashing a few other roms -> one has to remove external sd during flash, this seems to fix playback (flash and mx player etc.) problems. Thanx all for help.

Any Custom Rom <> stock GB have choppy video is a bug sorry, try another ROM.
Just a swag - have you tried putting the video on your internal memory instead of external sd?
I usually play streaming video (eg. TV series online). Any custom GB rom I tried has perfect picture, any ICS or JB rom is unwatchable. Could somebody suggest a JB rom that has verified good video playback on Infuse?
I have never had a problem watching videos on any GB/ICS/JB ROM...video playback has always been flawless whether it was a YouTube video or streaming from another site...or a downloaded HD movie...they've all played flawlessly....now videos I record while on JB/ICS that's I different story...but everyone knows about that...
If you don't mind...can you link me to a video you find unplayable on jb? I'm curious as to see if my infuse will play it...

Ok so hopefully clears this up. For movies that you download, you can get mx player from the app store, that thing plays EVERYTHING. and flawlessly too. so there get that. If u want to watchseries.eu or online streaming sites, u need flash player, so download this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705503 and get version 3.0.3 This version contain flash player, which u'll need to watch stuff like that and yourtvseri.es etc.
For recording, just use 480p, cause 720p is broken on jb. good luck dude.

Man.... use MX Player in S/W decoding mode...
IF it even dont work .... change your Rom ..
Use cm 9 if you don't want much issues with your phone for daily use...
But recommended to use cm 10.2 ...its the latest android build and pretty stable...
