Video Recording On TP2

**MightyMike** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-15-2009, 02:18 PM

Can someone please do a test for me.

Record a video using MP4 (highest quality) and record something.

I'm having an issue where 1) it only records 1:18 of video then automatically stops.

Also, I was at a club recording a video when it stopped as well as crashed the camera application where i had to restart the phone. This happened Twice. In doing so, it has corrupted the recorded .mp4 file and I cannot play it back.

Very frustrating.

Please report

I just tested for you and was able to continue recording past 3 minutes. No problems with playback of the video either.

No lockup or crash.

I just bought a new SDHC memory card (Kingston) and tried again... Looks to be working fine. I'm at 3 minutes and all seems well

yay!

I just recorded:

- 5 minute H.264 CIF resolution video, no problems with crashing or playback
- 3 minute MPEG4 640x480 resolution... no problems with crashing or playback

About 200mb.... Not sure why it would freeze though.

video quality is pretty impressive. there is a slight delay between sound audio and video, and there's always going to be slight blur since it only records at 15fps. but the sound quality is pretty good even under loud conditions, and the video quality is great too.

it actually can record at up to 640x480 which i was surprised to find, since previous reviews of the device (mainly the european version) said that it could only do 480x320

On another note, regarding video, is that when I'm playing it through the HTC album, the video skips a ton, and the "Playing" bar constantly shows up on the bottom.

I know I can open it in another player, but it's a PITA and just doesn't make sense.

Am I the only one who has that issue?

I have a few 4 - 5 minute long videos and haven't experienced any skipping or anything.

I'm guessing that it's probably related to your memory/flash not being fast enough to serve the data? I have an 8GB SDHC (class 6) card and haven't experienced any recording/playback issues.
