Videocam illusion

Hi,
I'm the developer of Videocam illusion app. I have just checked a problem with SE X10 audio recording speed (supports only 48.000 Hz recording). I will release a fix ASAP.
Regards,
Mobileillusion
EDIT 2:
I have just released version 1.5 of "Videocam illusion". I hope the audio recording problem of the previous version was fixed for the Xperia X10.
I have upload the apk, but I would prefer that you download it (and rate if you like) from the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidillusion.videocamillusion
Thanks for your support!
What's new on version 1.5
- New user interface
- Optimized video player
- New retro filter: Chicago
- Animated mask: 8mm
- More filters/effects/masks: color, blur & white border
- Adjustable filters & effects
- Front camera support (Android 2.3+ required)
- Zoom (if supported)
- Ready for Tablet
EDIT: Here the SE X10 bugfix release (with 48 KHz recording)

Thanks, I guess most of us have been wondering why the sound sounds like chipmunk/accelerated and so does the video.

excuse my English. take this opportunity to ask if there a way to increase the recording frames. In fact, when I started recording 15 fps, but after a few seconds down to 5-6 .... tanks

Hi,
Thanks for your application encd for your replay ....
I just wonder if it would be possible to have the video encoded not only in MOV but in MP4 and/or 3gp formats in order to be also enclosed in MMS ?
Regards

Hi again,
thanks for the feedback. I have changed the recording freq to 44.100 Hz.
Could you tell me if now is working propertly?
About the questions...
The app records MOV files (MJPEG format). I have developed the MJPEG encoder/decoder. The frame rate drops while recording because each frame must be encoded. I think I could speed up a little, but not a lot.
About MP4/3GP format Android Multimedia API doesn't support direct frame encoding to video. :-(
I'm working on a MP4 encoder, but right now speed sucks. I will try to optimize.
Regards,
Mobileillusion

Hi
I will test it in few minutes and let you know what are my impression
Regards

Is this the latest version? I just download videocam illusion from market today...it show version 1.o..

Getting between 7-13fps only 640x480
Sound still abit chipmunky but it's better than before. Hopefully you can update it again

Hi,
the atached file is a "SE X10 bugfix" version (1.0.1). I will release a new version in the Market with audio recording freq selector (not only 44.100 Hz) the next week.

Feel free to let us test out your pre-release and provide feedback to you

Dev, thank you for working on this. Much appreciated

Tested
frame rate around 10-15 at 640x480
sound not perfect but much better
Thanks ...
as said an MPEG encoder would be much apreciated

Is this a patch which makes the free and pro version better or is it just a new free version?

it is only a 44.100 Hz recording patch free version. I will update the Market versions (free/pro) with frequency selection ASAP.
Thanks for all the feedback!!!

X10 is screaming "i'm aliveeeee!!!!!"
thanks bro!

Well, you said Android's framework for 3rd party apps doesn't support direct frame encoding. Right?
Then what about using superuser to get over this framework?
All firmwares here are pre-rooted, so this wouldn't be a problem.

Hi Adolf1994,
you're right, direct frame video encoding is not available for 3rd party apps.
I have to investigate the Android source code to see how to directly access the encoder.If anyone can help me would be fine.
Regards

Much better, but it still takes the sound up a bit, maybe go up to 44.1Khz? Unless thats what was making it go up. Then i guess take it down.

Hi Realorasz,
I have checked the problem and you're right. I think 8000 Hz works better (with no speed up), but also 48 KHz.
I will release a "quick version" soon.
Thanks!
PS: I'm right now also working on a full resolution image viewer "Gallery illusion HD" that supports big "jpgs" and displays pictures with no quality loss. Now is in public beta and can be download free on the Android Market. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Good to know
Hopefully make full use of the 720p camcorder once you're able to fully use the encorder, hopefully the ROM devs here can help you out.

[SOLVED] Video performance issues

Am I being unrealistic in my expectations WRT playback of video on the Transformer? (NB After some of the replies below, I've added this comment to emphasise my point - I am NOT talking about high-def video here [e.g. 720p], just normal PAL or NTSC video taken from standard DVDs.)
I've ripped some DVDs using Handbrake on my Mac, using the default High Profile settings. The resulting h.264 files play smoothly and nicely on the Mac.
However, on the Transformer, the playback is juddery.
These are standard-resolution DVD rips, from TV shows and movies.
I wouldn't have been surprised for HD content to be a bit dodgy, but I was surprised not to be able to play SD content smoothly.
Has anyone else got good video playback (i.e. do I have a dodgy tablet) or is the Transformer with its Tegra 2 really not up to playing full-screen SD video?

Don't use high profile. Search before you post - there is many threads about video issues of Tegra2 devices here and in Xoom forum.

Why do people keep doing this, you have a Google tablet, Google this.
The Tegra 2 has a strange limitation, it doesn't play high profile. Before you make the mistake everyone else does, high profile is not a measure of quality, its the measure of compression. The bit rate is the quality.
Put it on high profile go to advanced, turn off 8x8 transform and Weighted P Frames and Subpixel ME to 6, use MP4.
Don't bother with other peoples presets, just use Moboplayer and you will be good with this setup.

Thanks
OK, thanks to you both for sorting me out with this. I did (contrary to appearances) try to find a thread on this topic but failed. Clearly I must brush up on my searching skills.

What about YouTube playback? Even this works terrible on my transformer. It keeps droping how of frames with latest firmware update.

there will be an update for this, also the browser player works fine for me.

Settings that work
OK. After some testing with the first chapter of the Matrix DVD (because I have it to hand and it's got some nice pans and action to check the juddering against), I have found that the following settings in Handbrake give me acceptable performance on my Transformer with the h.264 codec. This is standard-definition video, please note, NOT high-def.
Note that sorting this out is far from as simple as "Google it" because there are a great many mutually contradictory sets of advice out there!
I took the Normal profile, then went to the Advanced tab and disabled CABAC and set the max B frames to 0.
This was the least dramatic setting that gave smooth playback on my Transformer. So I guess I should repeat my original question - given that my tablet appears to require much lower video settings than generally advised AFAICS in order to get smooth video playback (it's hard to measure this but this is my preception), should I worry? Or is this pretty much what everyone finds with the Transformer?
(The easiest way to get smooth video seems to be just to switch to the MPEG-4 codec and to increase the quality to about 3 to compensate. However, this gives files that are 40-50% larger, so I wanted to avoid that if possible.)

I usually use Handbrake for everything but I was in a hurry so I tried Freemake Video Converter. I converted a few downloaded x264 MMA videos. It has built in settings for Android. I was surprised how well it looked.
I'll still probably go back to Handbrake as soon as I have time to setup and test various suggested settings listed here and some other forums.

Thanks for the info.
Are you using handbrake? If so, are you using constant quality, bitrate or target size for your encode?

The Tegra 2 supports 720p High Profile Hardware Decoding, but Honeycomb can't utilize it yet. 3.1 or something later should address this.

NOT about high-def content
Can I reiterate that my query is NOT about high-def content (e.g. 720p)? I'm talking here about being able to view simple SD content from a DVD I've bought, without juddering.
Can other folks view standard DVD rips on their Transformers using standard Handbrake settings, with no juddering during whole-screen update sections (e.g. pans or action sequences)?

I just used Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (part of the Creative Suite) to encode a file and it played flawlessly on my xformer. I used the Apple TV Preset as a base then modified the profile from main to baseline.

Could you share which modifications you made? As I don't have access to CS5, I'd need to reproduce the settings on my software.
Thanks!

there's a handbrake profile for video encoding for the transformer. search for it.

seshmaru:
Unless you know something is there then you don't know to search for it. Now I know, I have searched and found that what I posted above is basically the situation - no B frames, no CABAC.
That being said, all the discussion I have seen has been based on 720p content rather than standard def so it's not clear to a newcomer to video issues that tthe same restrictions necessarily apply.
Anyhow, that seems to be the answer so thanks to all for the help.

Get Lag free 1080P (MX Player) Uber Guide ;)

Hello there folks!
My first thread so bear the simplicity I try to keep things minimalistic.
Here we go, I am a total video junkie got this 3TB hard drive full of HD Movies , HD TV series and what not, thing is when am away from my beloved Asus LED or on the move my Canvas 2 can't play the full 1080p properly while 720p runs just fine, so as I have all the content true1080p it was really frustrating.
Now no need to convert or wrestle with time or frame rate, with the following MX Player settings you can load up any content upto 1080p even Bluray source!
First things first you guys need the latest MX Player use Play Store if possible get the pro for no clutter ads.
You need:
MX Player 1.7.19 ARMv7 NEON
(Pro for no Ads rest is same)
Now just go to settings and then decoder set as follow:
0. Don't check H/w+ leave it unchecked
1. Uncheck correct aspect ratio
2. Check S/w decoder local,
3. Set CPU core limit to 2
4. Now the real deal, select 'Color Format' option and set 'YUV' it's experimental but it really does the trick!
(Using RGB 32 bit or 16 bit is more resource hungry and our device can't handle it so the
playback slutters)
5. Leave everything as it is I.e unchecked . Period!
All set now, fire up some eye candy and gaze through.
Tip: Go in settings then player check 'Quit Button' option every time you leave you should quit MX player to get it off the RAM otherwise if you leave by pressing back it lulls in the background.
Check some attachments, all content is full HD there is no single lag, voice drop, audio glitch whatsoever
whole deal is the new 'YUV' color format!
Enjoy ! Mucha gracias
Hit thanks, if you find my guide helpful. (It certainly is)

Will. Try n let u know...

it helped 50%
it helped much beter than before i did what you told but then too some of my mp4 vids lags any more setting u can tell me
i used 32 bit colour depth

You missed the most important step, set the color format to "YUV' using 32 bits stresses out the CPU its more resource hungry you will find this new color format setting only in the latest version I mentioned latter versions don't have it ..

as u said changing rgb to yuv has no difference in c2 ,mk65xx devices are not basically 1080p video playback supported , only thing it can do is by reducing frame rate by 15. and yuv is a color model for a display device as our canvas 2 is basically 16m colors , and 480p res. dnt need to change to yuv . rgb is good and fine.finally 720p - 30fps / 1080p - 15fps is the default seting for all mk65xx devices .to check for urself google it , u will see all devices supports 1080p video playback in only low FPS

Agreed I am also aware of mt6577 artitecture supporting 720p playback only, but using YUV to render vedios instead of RGB is helpful, RGB format does produce fine quality but is more intense on CPU and expenses RAM to a larger quantity and perhaps, I don't see any noticeable difference in rendering with YUV, On the other hand FPS of vedio can be different depending on the source , give it try though it works for me.

[Feature Request] Debanding filter / Custom Shader support

Most of 8-bit encoded anime suffers from banding. Debanding filter is supposed to improve such videos.
About a year ago shader-based debanding was implemented in madVR. I was using it since then and now it's hard to watch video without it With fastest settings ("High preset") it takes about 5ms to process 720p frame on Intel HD 3000, I believe that modern devices are fast enough to handle something similar to it.
Examples of what I'm talking about:

P.s. I've noticed that colors are a bit off, presumably wrong colormatrix (BT.601 instead of BT.709) was used in MX case. I'll check it and will make a proper report in a sepate topic regarding this issue.

This is interesting. I'd like to see where this issues goes, or if @bleu8888 has any comments.

Hmmm, actually adding custom shaders support (instead of specific filters) seems to be a much better idea. That way anyone will be able to write/use any such filter.
It would be possible to port already exisiting shaders too, they're written in hlsl which is similar to glsl that Android supports.

Indeed, I'd like to see this feature implemented as well.
Forgot to mention before, but this has been added to the feature requests list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297

@vivan000 @CDB-Man
If I am not wrong, video processing filters are not possible in either H/W or H/W+ since both use native decoders.
It may be possible in S/W, but will lead to lot of performance related issues. As of now even most modern devices are struggling to play full hd video in S/W decoder without any filters. Adding filters will add further load to cpu. It will lead to freeze or ANR issues.

Well, it might be impossible to copy video texture to the cpu (or what you get from HW decoder), but it should be possible to process them with opengl (just like DXVA on windows - decoded image can't leave gpu*, but you can do some processing there)
OpenGL can be used to render the MediaCodec output to screen. It is also useful to add some video effect when doing playback. The key is SurfaceTexture class.
SurfaceTexture is included in API Level 15 (Android 4.0.3). Developers can use it to stream images to a given OpenGL texture. So, if configuring MediaCodec with SurfaceTexture, the output buffer will be rendered to an OpenGL texture but not to the device screen. Thus, video post-processing is required.

But filters (shaders) run purely on gpu, and currently gpu is doing almost nothing during playback.
(*actually it could, but only with DXVA 2.0).

That's very interesting to hear.

[Bug]. Wrong stretching in case of playing portrait video

Hi,
Recently I've faced with landscape and portrait issue. If I shot a video on my device in portrait mode. MX-Player stratched this video in wrong way. It tries to represent it as landscape.
Actually, it starts playing all portrait video in wrong way. It's very annoying.

Hi,
Thank you very much! Your advice has solved the problem.
Sorry for screaming, may be this is as designed, just new item in options But I didn't change this options before and it was working.
Does it means that my device works fine with hardware decoder and I don't need that option enabled?
My be it is useful to disable this one by default?
Thanks, again!
P.S. You can edit the title or that thread if it is not a bug.

Disabling "Correct Aspect Ratio" worked for me on my Note 4. As DiffeRT said, this option should be turned off by default. There are a lot of complaints on the Play Store of people having the same problem and they don't know what to do.

I think my post is self explanatory.
From menu goto Settings, then Decoder. Under Hardware Decoder you can find "correct aspect ratio". Just disable it.
If you need manual override, when you play a file, open menu, goto display & open aspect ratio. You can select the commonly used settings as presets there or you can use your own as custom

From menu goto Settings, then Decoder. Under Hardware Decoder you can find "correct aspect ratio". Just disable it.
If you need manual override, when you play a file, open menu, goto display & open aspect ratio. You can select the commonly used settings as presets there or you can use your own as custom

Im looking for and have even searched decoder in settings. There is not a decoder option anywhere. Frustrated.

Are you searching in Android's System Settings..?
I am taking about MX Player's Settings option

Apologies, yes I was talking about android system settings. My issue is not personal playback instead my concern is what will happen when someone I send the video to receives it. I work with Realtors and send videos inviting them to events. If I make a 15 sec video and send it via mms it is stretched, just to be a bit more specific. Thanks

Can you share a sample clip in which you have issues..?
It will be helpful to diagnosing the issue.
