Get Video Off Of The Tilt!!!!

Ok. I recorded some video on my AT&T Tilt with a memory card. It plays fine on my phone. Well I want to get it on my computer. When I tried to, it was in the MP4 format. So I opened it with Quicktime and iTunes and it wouldn't play. It said there was an error. So I was gonna convert it. I tried to, but it gave me a warning saying that it would have no sound, so I didn't do that. Then I downloaded VLC Player and when I played the videos, they didn't have sound. I tried putting them in Windows Media Center, didn't work. I tried ActiveSync. Didn't work. There has to be some possible way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Same thing happens to me. Now I just record in the other format, QIF I believe. And that works fine.

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!

how did you even get "good" video playback?
how did you even get "good" video on the TILT? is it the change in file type that makes the video better in itself? where do you change it?

You can change to CIF by selecting it from the Capture Settings menu (hit menu when the camera is running) under Resolution. The capture format can be changed from MPEG-4 to H.263 if you go to Advanced > Capture Format.
Recording in a well-lit environment helps. I'm not usually affected by placebo, but I and a few other users have reported increased camera performance after installing the latest test drivers for the Kaiser from htcclassaction.org. It DID seem that the framerate was higher. I can't rule out the possibility that updating to windows mobile 6.1 may have made a difference, but I know I don't keep apps running in the background and the comparison whilst not scientific would be pretty fair.

What can be used to view H.263 on the home pc? Will media player play it? And is there a good reason why it just doesn't record to .wmv or regular old mpeg? As you can tell I am a moron when it comes to video.

VLC will read it

QuickTime will play H.263 encoded files.
The Tilt does not use WMV or MPEG because they do not have formats optimized for mobile devices, so the files end up being huge.

Thanks, that makes sense!

my mp4 videos run fine on wm player! try downloading the vista or xp codec pack which is available on most torrent sites

I know its old but anyway...I record video w/ my kaiser, bluetooth the video over to my laptop, convert with WM convert, open w/ movie maker, edit then post. Sooooooooo easy and no cables required!

You're all going through waaaay to much by using converters & what not. When recording in mpeg4 format just rename the files to ".3gp" after you transfer them to your computer and they will play regularly through quicktime with sound & everything intact.

download K lite codec pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
it will allow windows media player to play ANYTHING, throw and file at it and it will play

VLC Works for me
VLC works for me, try it

Use a converter to be able to edit the video in windows movie maker, it takes like 10 seconds to convert a MPEG4 to WMV. (i've got the codec pack but in order to edit the video you need to convert it.)

MP4 Video Recording

Is there any software that records video in MP4? 3GP is so crappy, its too compressed.

i wish i knew, it would be awesome. tried to edit registry settings, but didn't work.

Manila cam is able to record CIF MPEG4.

I can use Virtualdub. Virtualdub is a well-known video capture, processing and editing software that allows you to capture video from an input source and perform simple video editing.

Where is point in converting 3GP in MP4?
My point is that i want to record in MP4 because qualitity format is better, you dont get better qualitity if you convert 3GP to MP4 later, do you?

When i click on camera button nothing happens.

Well, that depends to the ROM you use and what is cooked inside. If you have TF3D, probably you also have that cam app which is different from the cam you launch via hw button. There, in the video settings, you'll find the MPEG4 option to be chosen. But... don't expect a big difference in quality recording and, btw, this one don't record in wide mode.
BR!

Im using default xperia rom with that installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448178

change video rotation?

This is one thing that has really irritated me. Sometimes I record video on my phone vertically and when i export them to my pc they will only show sideways. Is there either a phone or pc app that will let me easily rotate videos? I tried using WMM but it tells its not compatible with the 3gp format.

[Q] App to record video of screen?

Hi, I was wondering if there is an android app that will record videos of whatever is on the screen, kind of like FRAPS. I would like to be able to record what I'm doing on my phone for a specified amount of time in a video format.

newbie video question

So I've added the slow mo button for a longer clip and it plays fine on the phone but when I copy it to Windows laptop it just plays like normal video but with no sound. How do I save/transfer it with slomo please?

i believe the video is just recorded with a higher framerate and then the player adds a filter to slow it down. that's why you can acctualy play(modify) with the sequence after its been recorded. because its not acctualy recorded with the effect.

I noticed it too. When you record the slow mo video, it will show as a slow mo using the video player from Samsung... If I use another player like VLC or even Windows, it won't show it. I then realized, you need to edit and save it as a separate file to keep the slow mo changes using other players. Once I saved it, it created a new MP4 file... Now I'll have 2. The original and the edited one that will play in slow mo in all players like VLC. Hope it works for you.
Edit: You don't have to edit it. You can just save it as a separate file. I just edit it first cuz I want to change where the slow mo starts and finishes.

Sorted thanks for the info.
