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.

[APP]lgCamera[6.4 final] (update september 02)

Unfortunately Google banned my developer account and removed all my applications from Play market.
I know a reason: my developer site was hacked and used to show porno banner.
I removed all links from all applications to that site. But Google blocked my 4 applications as violation Sexually Explicit Content
I don't understand why they blocked only 4 apps, but did not block other 15.
And after appeals google blocked my developer account.
I will be appreciated to your help:
1. Go to link https://support.google.com/googleplay/contactflow . Choose Applications and game for Android and Problem with downloading or buying
2. Ask supports to unban my developer account and return all apps to play market.

Hi,
Still freeze when switching from camera to camcorder, plus kills camera, need to reboot.
Cheers.

I confirm the freeze when switching from camera to camcorder, but it's not constant. First time I see this happen with 6.4 beta 1.
If it does the stock camera also shows a black screen and I need to do a reboot.
Yesterday with the 6.3 pro and free versions I had no problems with switching between the camcorder and camera.
@Dev, is it me or is the zoom improved?

Weird I can switch 20 times between camcorder and camera and there's no problem.
I also made some picture and video for test, no problem.
The stock camera is still functioning as well.
But if the app freezes the stock camera shows a black screen as well and also stucks.
It's necessary to reboot again.

BTW.
If you want increase FPS than set Scene-mode to Action or Sport.
It will increase FPS(by increasing shutter speed) but picture will be darker for low light-conditions scenes.

Thank you, I've just tested with 'Scene-Mode Action' on the camcorder with max frame rate 30 enabled,
results in a recorded video with frame rate 28 woehoe !!!
All other settings to maximum:
Scene mode: action
* Video resolution 1920x1088
* Video encoder MPEG4
* Video file format MPEG4
* Video bitrate 100Mbit
* Video framerate 30
Video stabilization enabled
Auto rotate video enabled

H.264 encoder is the best (for video quality and FPS), but if phone supports it (all new phones supports)
About video bitrate and SD class minimal:
100 Mbits = 100/8 =12.5MBytes => 13 (or I think 16 class) minimal
80 Mbits=10MBytes => 10 class (I think 75 Mbit max for 10 class)
60 Mbit => 8 Class
40 Mbit => 6 Class
30 Mbit => 4 class
15 Mbit => 2 class

H.264 makes my screen hang, not the whole app freezes but it hangs during recording.
Even after a fresh reboot.
It's continue, I can't record with H.264 encoding. (100Mbit)
Edit, update:If I lower the bitrate to 50Mbit, it does record again.
Edit, update 2: 60Mbit is max, 75 and 100Mbit hang with H.264 encoding enabled.

100mbit ? are u insane ? bluray discs video does not have that much video bitrate..

I have enabled these setting in the camera app and recorded like that on my HTC One X.
Why don't you try yourself? It's stable, I've tried multiple recordings.
Update:
I just did another recording:
This is what it's saying.
mp4, 23 seconds
size 74,7mb,
1280x720
speed 26892kbps
total bit process 26991kbps
framespeed 28 frames p/s
And I'm not insane, I'm just testing and writing down what I enable and see.
Cool to know my One X is having a higher bitrate as bluray disk

Another words about videobitrate.
There are many bitrates in lgCamera settings. But supporting depends on phone capabilites.
I know only one phone, that can record with 75 mbit, it is SGS2 + lates ICS ROM.
HTC One X is limited 25-30 mbit only.
And quality increases slowly than bitrate, I think bitrates 20 mbit and 40 mbit has same quality.

I love this app, so gonna test this version. I have an X10 Mini Pro, still using v5.95. It's the only version that the camcorder works the way it should, I can't even take pictures in that version (Just hangs after I take the picture, doesn't even save it).
From version 6.1 up, touch to focus doesn't work as it should, as it locks focus when recording starts, so I lose the continuous auto focus function. If I use the hardware camera button, the same happens. When I use the onscreen record button, it works great, but if I accidentally touch the screen while recording I lose auto focus capabilities again. Hope this version gets it right.
---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------
Ok, did some quick testing. Approached it as how I would for day to day use. Here are the things I've noticed.
1. After 1st install, changes in settings wont take effect until you restart the app
2. Switching between camera and camcorder works fine, no problems
3. Taking pictures, changing scenes, resolutions, flash work fine. Pictures also save
4. Video playback of videos works again (Did not work for me in 6.3)
5. Hardware camera button still doesn't work for videos (Locks focus, so continuous auto focus doesn't function). This worked fine in 5.95.
6. Hardware camera button for pictures works fine
7. Using onscreen buttons for camera and camcorder works fine. All functions work as they should.
8. Touch to focus works for camera.
9. Touch to focus during recording is gone. If the screen is touched before recording, it focuses but locks focus during recording, so no continuous focus in recording. Worked fine in 5.95
10. Preview while recording videos is a bit laggy, but playback of the videos is smooth
Using X10 Mini Pro with MiniCM7.
Settings:
Video-
semc-continuous 640x480, 30fps h264 MPEG @ 8mbit/s 4800KHz @ 160kbps AAC.
Photo-
5MP Resolution @ 100% quality
All other settings are at default values.
Hope this helped.

I've recorded many videos today with the same settings I mentioned this morning.
Not even once the camera app freezed on me.
Scene mode: action
* Video resolution 1920x1080
* Video encoder MPEG4
* Video file format MPEG4
* Video bitrate 100Mbit
* Video framerate 30
Video stabilization enabled
Auto rotate video enabled
>> HERE's a sample video (56,19 mb) I've recorded with lgCamera and uploaded.
It's a very beautifull Dutch windmill, the old windmill is still in working state and the blades are realy turning on the wind so you can see if the framerate is high enough!
The windmill stands in the centre of Amsterdam near where I live.
I wanted to film my wooden shoes as well and the chees I eat but that's getting to personal.
An this is a sample picture of the video:

Ill test it too
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Installed on my LG Marquee (Sprint) pictures saved are only green, its just a solid green picture. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But it doesn't work for me.

Ok thanks for the info,
So these are the best settings I think for maximum resolution, minimum compression and highest framerate?
Scene mode: Action (important!)
* Video resolution 1920x1080
* Video encoder H.264
* Video file format MPEG4
* Video bitrate 60Mbit (maximum possible according to my testing this morning)
* Video framerate 30 (lgCamera can film with 28 frames on my HTC One X)
Also video stabilization and autorotate I've enabled.
Untill now I've recorded with Mpeg4 for encoder and file format.
I will try the H.264 video encoding now with the 60Mbit video bitrate (maybe lower then 60Mbit if it gives problems)
If you like me to test other settings just let me know.
The results I will tell you later.

[Q] Anyway to reduce the video size of Android

:angel:
Is there anyway to reduce the video size of Android

You can use MX Player to see videos and change the zoom to more or less by pinching the screen, just like when viewing a picture. There is other gesture support too like changing the volume and brightness. All in all its probably the best video player for Android...
If you are by chance referring to the screen resolution to make your screen smaller for all of your Android display and not just while vieweing videos, then you need to root your phone and use an app like NOMone Resolution Changer

Thnks for replying... but besicaly I want to know that how to reduce the size of camera's video file without reduce the quality. Why Android makes a captured video file size so bigger then its quality and lenth.. Is there any patch for it ??

Oh I see! Sorry about that haha!
There are many apps you can use for video file conversion similar to how you would do it on a PC. One such app is Video Compressor, but you can search for many on Play Store if you type in keywords like 'video file size reduce' or 'video converter' etc.
However, if you are sharing on Whatsapp then it automatically reduces the size greatly and before sending and it happens quite fast somehow as opposed to using a video converter. There is no apparent loss of quality as long as you are seeing that video on a phone screen I suppose. If I want to share the video on something other than Whatsapp, what I usually do is Whatsapp it to myself to another phone or to my brother's/friend's phone and then share that file.
I really think Whatsapp has a very good and fast video converter built into their app which they should offer separately!

steps to reduce the video size
1. After installing Video Converter Android on your device, launch it and import the video you would like to shrink. After you select the video, tap the Convert option at the bottom of the screen.
2.Select Manual profile to convert the video and reduce the resolution, bitrate and FPS of the video. The recommended settings while reducing the size of the video is 176×144, 800 and 23.98 respectively. Leave every other settings as it is and convert the video.
The tool will process the video and reduce its size considerably. If the receiver will view the video on the device itself, he will hardly notice the reduced quality. After the conversion is complete you will see the video in the Android Gallery from where you can share it on WhatsApp or at any other social network.

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions :angel::angel::angel::angel:

🎥 A better Slow Motion Recording Experience►

Hello, everyone‼:laugh:
Thank you for reading this.
Almost any phone of today has a Slow-Motion / High-Framerate feature.
Well, i've got nothing agianst it but there's something about it that truly sucks.
Here's my old thread about this.
The Bad method:
You Record: 00H:00M:10s@240fps (Resolution doesn't matter)
You get a Video with 80 Seconds @ 30fps
...and Muted Audio ♫♪
So that ►x1.0 isn't realtime!
Well, the iPhones record in realtime, but they can only record for 20 Seconds (real time equilevant)
kryz70fr said:
With the iPhone 5S camera software, you can edit your video to active slowmotion or not on the timeline ... how to do this with the Note 3?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, you're right!
...but the Smartphones which use the sucking method of taking Slow-Motion Videos encode the output file being Slown Down.
The one and only advantage of this method, is for Media-Players which haven't got a Fast/Slow motion playback mode so that ►x1.0 makes the Slow Motion Effect Visible.
But i'd like to have ►x1.0 is Realtime-Equivalent!
So the Correct way in my opinion [IMO] is this:
If you Record 00:00:[email protected]
The Output File must be also 00:00:10 encoded at 204FPS and with ♪♫ Audio from ALL Microphones of the Phone!
Also some other Devices use the WRONG Method:
Lumix FƵ1000 - Great Camera but Slow Motion Feature uses WRONG WAY.
Canon IXUS 255 HS
But those Devices use a Good Method!
Sony RX100/3
Canon Powershot 510HS and 50HS
Sony FDR-AX100
Samsung NX1 (i think)
Example Videos ? :
Good
Only 720p BUT
XAVCS
And Audio
And Realtime
BAD
1080p but...
No XAVCS
Not Realtime
Muted Audio
Sucks
All Example Videos are taken by DKamera.dé!
Feel free posting your opinion! :laugh:
All the best Have a good and nice day ...

High Framerate Recording
Has anybody an Opinion about this?
There are many users who want Audio on Slow-Motion.
That, what i described there ↑↑↑, also covers this.
I'd be thankful for some feedback on my suggestion.
It's also nice, if every media player in the world has following features:
Speed Up / Slow Down
If adjust speed, enable/disable adjusting Sound Pitch
...so that 120FPS with output file encoded to 30FPS and muted sound is not there anymore
With ►x1.0 i mean Original Playback Speed of the Output File.
I'd always like to have 1.0x Playback Speed being Realtime-equivalent and Sound from every microphone that the device has (not just 2), independent from the Video's Framarate . (And no time limit until the Deices Battery/Storage runs out)
Example: Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4 have 3 Microphones. But they do only use them all for the Sound-Memo and only 2 for video recording. They also record Slow-Motion the wrong way
Feel free giving your Feedback

Slow Motion - Redefined :·) (•:
I'd always like the Output file being always RealTime ►x1.0
That means, that i'd always like to get an Output File to be Real-Time-equivalent at x1.0 Playback Speed.
►1.0 to be Real Time Speed
And surely Audio from all Microphones of the device
(In FLAC Format, 1.6 Mbit/S )
(See Video04.Mp4✔)

Just like [email protected]
If i record 00:00:[email protected] then i'd also like to have an output file with 0:00:[email protected]FPS with sound.
...and not 00:00:[email protected]FPS without sound.
It feels like Recording REAL [email protected]FPS, i don't know how to explain.
Just like normal Video Recording but with a Higher Framerate - not additionally encoded to be slown down so that Original ►x1.0 Playback Speed is 0.25x Real Time Speed or 0.125x.
And also see this
Scroll down to see what i mean.

The slow motion clips might look cool on your iPhone, but they look quite disappointing on a TV or a monitor. Which reminds us of our other disappointment about the feature – when we tried to play those iPhone 5s slo-mo videos on a PC we found that unlike all previous slow motion-capable smartphones, the iPhone 5s actually encodes the video at 120 fps and your computer will play it on 120fps unless you explicitly force it to slow the video four times in order to achieve the desired slow-motion effect. It would have been way more natural the iPhone 5s to process the frames and output a standard 30fps video as most of the phones do, which doesn’t require special players and tools to play properly.

They've got another Opinion. But their described opinion is caused by the only advantage of the sucking way to take Slow-Motion Videos.
Here’s hoping Apple fixes this promptly with an update – it certainly can’t be that hard.

I hope not so lol

Sensor output / Output File
The Output File should have the same framerate, as the Sensor is Capturing.
(Exceptionally HDR-Video. HDR Video needs a Higher Framerate/Sensor Speed but the Outputfile is still Realtime at ►x1.0 )

Wow, really? Not mentioned befre?
But yes, it will be very useful :laugh:
Many Smartphone Manufacturers write in their User Manuals, that Slow Motion Recording with Audio {Sound} Recording is not possible.
So why don't manufacturers simply use the method for Slow Motion Videos that i Described?
Maybe it's just because of the „One and Only advantge of the Sucking way to take Slow Motion Videos:“
Not every player has an Adjustable Playback Speed--.....
The Galaxy K Ƶooom has also a Menu Option for PlayBack Speed for the Ouptut File.
But you only can use the 120FPS-Mode @ ¼ or ⅛ Speed for Output File, but i'd prefer it always to be x1.
I'd like 1x Playback Speed to be Real-Time Equilevant.
Accordingly, Every Player should have a Manually Settable Playback Speed, Sound Pinch, Reverse and Recording Feature.
VLC Media Player has ¾ it all - exceptionally the Reverse◄ Playback Feature.
If manufacturers fix this slow motion problem, have fun

I hope this app also uses ?▶► Real Slow Motion...
If you REALLY want the Output file to be not ►1.o Realtime, then you can convert it after recording it into a second file.
There are Programs to do that.

Correction :
Correctiõn:
The NX1 also uses the Wrong way.
http://www.dkamera.de/media/testberichte/samsung/nx1/6_beispielaufnahmen/video/video04.MP4
DKamera™

There's a very high Request on Slow Motion-Audio and being able to adjust the Playback Speed in the Media Player.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/464112-slow-motion-video-sound.html
I also don't understand, why manufacturers use the Way for taking Slow Motion Videos that i mentioned, because the other frequent way sucks.
Isn't there an app, which can record slow-motion videos the way i mentioned?
However, the iPhones only use Mono-Audio for any kind of Video-Recording. Horrible.
Sony:
Their Cameras (RX100 and FDR-AX100E etc.) record slow Motion the Proper Way. Congratiulations!
But their Smartphones only allow editing before saving - once saved, you can't adjust any speeds anymore.
Canon:
Newer models like SX50 HS and 510 HS use the right way - even for 240 fps - no specific time limit!. Respect!
But the beautiful SX255 HS also sucks recording them - 120 and 240 fps. And there's a limit of 20 Seconds (in Real-Time.)
Conclusion:
There are many - also free Video-Editing Programs for adjust the speed and Sound-Pitch (Pitchbend) of vidéos - so there's (almost) no reason for the (i call it the sucking way) of recording slow motion videos. (Only reason is the missing Playback Speed Pitch in many Media Players. S5+ aka S5 LTE A had it - from x0.5 up to x1.5 Playback Speed - even for 4k-Videos up to 61.2 mBit/s Bitrate!)
And also - setting playback is a small additional step before enjoying the Motion but if this step is too much, you're lazy.

Finally, in Slow motion mode the camera goes back up to 48Mbps but is now shooting 720p @ 120fps. Videos are actually recorded at 120fps, but you can edit them on the phone - trim beginning and end and choose between half, quarter and eighth playback speed. Here's how it looks when we drop to 30fps (playing at a quarter of real time speed).

I hope the Slow Motion also includes Audio.

Confirmed:
The S6 records Slow Motion WITH Audio and Realtime - like iPhone and SX50 and 510 HS and also RX100m3 (aka RX100 III)

I was reading a Review on GSMArena.
Then i saw this:
A note about formats - the iPhone records and saves 720p videos with 240fps framerate so you'll need to either edit them on the phone to create the slowdown effect or use a video editor on your computer, just copying them would only get you an extra smooth normal speed video. The Galaxy Alpha videos are slowed down to 30fps so the slow motion is easy to share. There's an option to slow the videos down to 15fps, which matches the iPhones 8x slowdown but the result isn't as smooth

With the Galaxy S6, Samsung finally goes the Right way, because you can Export a Version of your Video, that is actually Edited and Costumized yourself, to share or so...
It's always recomennded to keep the Original Slow Motion Video File with the Audio and the Real-Time.
The Galaxy S6 has no MicroSD-Card, no Changable battery, etc........
But in Slow Motion, the Galaxy S6 is finally the right thing.
I mentioned the Galaxy S6-Disadvantages right here.
The FDR-AX100E also uses the right way.

The Exporting Feature in the Video editor isn't even at the iPhones.
I wish, Samsung already did this with a good phone like the Note 3 or so...

Asks me for Desired Playback Speed? Lol....
Hannah said:
"Playback-Framerate" should be like "Shooting Frame Rate"
and "Time shot in Seconds" should be exactly identical as "Clip Playback Time"
And also, all Microphones should be used, to record the video.
Understand, what i mean?

For Galaxy S6 users (very rare):
Too bad, that so many older phones cam't set the playback speed in the mediaplayer, so if there's trouble, sharing your high-framerate-videos, you can edit the parts with the lower playback speed and export the shareable video, and keep the original real-time HFR Clip.
That's exactly, what i wish, every manufactueres do.
Simply make a Video Editor and Set Playback Speed, instead of recording the HFR Video the wrong "sucking" way.....

Well, the iPhones record in realtime, but they can only record for 20 Seconds (real time equilevant)

Oops, that was a Demo-Unit.....

LG G3, G4 and Oppo Find 7 also apply with my standards.

Doesn't the VLC beta have the slow down / speed up controls

Maybe it's just because of the New Design. In the Extras (or Tools) you can costumize the VLC-Design/User Interface or go to the Playback-Menu.
Try with this file:

This Video File does comply with the Standards.

Treat like normal
I just like this type of recording the videos at a high framerate, because it treats Video Recording with a high fromerate as normal video recording. Just with a higher framerate.
Many devices have the ability to treat 1080p with 60 fps as normal video recording.

I was wondering if there's a posibility to record in slow-mo with my K900...

[MOD]H.265 a.k.a 'hevc codec' Video Recording for OnePlus 2[Nougat/Oreo]

Hello everyone,
As we all know that oneplus 2 supports hevc codec but by default it is not used as the primary video codec. So i've modified a system file to allow the camera to record with H.265 video codec by default.
*/
* * Your warranty is NOT void. * * I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about the modification * YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. * */
Steps:-
1)Take a nandroid backup.
2) Your device is rooted.
3)Download any file explorer that has access to system files. I prefer to use 'Root Browser'.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
4)Download the 'media_profiles.xml' , it will be linked below. (see post 2)
5)Open File Explorer and go to /system/etc and backup the original 'media_profiles.xml' in case you wanna revert back.
6)Now copy the modified media_profiles.xml file to /system/etc and replace it with the old one.
7)set permissions to rw-r-r (0644)
8)turn off the device> boot into recovery> clear cache only
9)restart and Enjoy
Special Thanks to @64ashg for spending his precious time creating the Magisk Module. [check post 2 for download]
This mod is working on some Nougat and Oreo ROMs.
Tested on Vertex ROM, RR, Pixel Experience,LineageOS 15.1
If it doesn't work on your ROM, report below. I'll see what i can do.
For OxygenOS - It isn't working. [Testing]
If you like the mod, you are welcome. And Don't be shy to hit the like button. Feel free to share the thread but do not mirror any download files. Just redirect everyone here.

I've made 3 files depending on user requirements.
1st[H.265 codec with Stock Bitrate](File Size won't be reduce, only the codec will change.)
4k - 42 Mbits
1080p - 20 Mbits
720p - 14 Mbits
2nd[H.265 codec with 50% reduced Bitrate] Consumes less storage space and use it only for day time shots. 1080p and 720p videos might pixilate while panning through scenes.
4k - 20 Mbits
1080p - 10 Mbits
720p - 7 Mbits
3rd[(Balanced) H.265 codec with 28% reduced Bitrate] Suitable for both day and night shots.
4k at 30 Mbits [Size-205 MB/min]
1080p & 720p at 15Mbits

is quality worse, almost same or same?

Not a huge difference. Just a 5-10 % boost in the quality. Mostly noticeable in 4k and 1080p. But the compression is great. ?

The quality and also the compression is better?

Obviously it will create the same file size if you use the stock bitrate. Try the 50% reduced bitrate. Compare both 4k videos of h.264 and h.265.

With stock bitrates why would I use h.265 over h.264?

If you are asking such a question, it clearly means that you don't know the difference between h.264 & h.265/hevc. H.265 exports video with the same quality as h.264 but reduces the file size by 40%(it doesn't automatically do its magic). You will need to adjust the bitrate for it to work. Now if anyone wants to record 4k video with H.265 and stock bitrate which is 42 Mbits, he/she can achieve the quality of the video normally where you will need to increase the bitrate upto 60/70 using h.264 codec.

Definitely. I've noticed 5% boost in quality. But it isn't that great as we all know that the quality of the video depends on many things like the sensor, framerate etc. So the big question, why should we use this mod?
Basically if we need to save our precious storage. ?

ok one last thing, the framerate is not that good on h.265? and if I flash an update do I loose the codec file I changed?

Use oxygen camera at good lighting condition, it will constantly record at 30fps but at dark it drops to 20fps to brighten the video. So i use google camera at dark to have constant 30fps . And yes, you will loose the codec if you flash an update to your rom. And if you find 50% reduced bitrate video quality degraded, you can try the Balanced Bitrate file. It is good for both day and night time shots.

I can make a magisk module from the files, if users are using magisk..
I've made the same magisk mod for my 3t for ota survival.

Thanks for testing the mod.
Which ROM are you using?
And send me the original 'media_profiles.xml' and 'media_codec.xml' file from /system/etc folder.
