video questions..

[ulysses]

so i was shooting video yesterday of us lighting off some fireworks. it's extremely choppy. is there something i'm doing wrong here? also, when i transferred it to my computer, it shows up as 3gp. is it still mpeg4? it says it is in the settings...

*edit: it wasn't low light. we were lighting off sparkler bombs during the day.
thanks,

When in video click the little spider symbol on the left side of screen to open up settings. You have a choice to record in 3gp or Mp4. It's under encoding type. You can also change it to 720 p recording here.

H.263 is 3gp basically. Just click and change it to mp4 in the camera settings, take a video and transfer that file to your computer and the format should not read .3gp

i understand what you're saying, but i just shot vid in both h.263 and mpeg4, and the file extension is the same on both. is there something else i'm missing?

Are you on a tp2 or Evo? Your description and avatar shows the tp. I hate to do this, but I don't know much about android, if it is truly recording and playing back in the h263 container, then something is going on that won't let you change the settings, try a hard reset, best thing I can suggest unless someone can chime in here that has a little more knowledge than I.
