HERE! if someone can mod this to work like 95% it would be a sweet add on!

LGCamera works the best set 1920x1080, 8Megabits/s video bitrate, 320kbps audio at 48khz and you can maintain 30fps and it's quite epicly gorgeous quality I must say.
Where LGCamera shines over 99.9% of other camera apps is in audio quality. AAC at 320kbps sounds amazing.

I don't know why but any video I make with my i9000 has an ac2 mono sound. No matter what resolution I pick for the video. Isn't there a workaround for this? To make it at least stereo if not better?

The phone does not have 2 microphones in the first place. Hence recorded audio is mono.
Video resolution should not be affecting its audio.
Ok but before sgs I owned an iphone and guess what it recorded video with stereo and only one mic. It is software related. Must be...

But do you hear difference in the left and right channel?
If it doesn't, SGS encodes it in a more bandwdth efficient manner.

Then it wasn't stereo. It may have been twin mono. But, as said, why waste space recording twin mono.
As far as I know stereo sounds better as mono, that's why I prefer the more non efficient way of encoding. And let's not talk about having a very good quality video stream beside a poor audio one.

As far as I know stereo means absolutely nothing if the device doesn't have the hardware to capture in stereo. Mono does not necessarily indicate inferior quality. Your iPhone has recorded in mono but just replicated the channels to appear as stereo. Samsung Galaxy S rather honestly reported mono and let the playback device (eg. computer) replicate the channels whenever necessary. The audio quality boils down to the bit rate and sampling rate used; and these should be considered in development of improving SGS's audio recording quality.
the SGS has no option to select the recording level, and bandwidth/bit rate to begin with
so you get what you get.
we are waiting for an App or a Hack to allow uses to change the recording bit rate so it can get better sound
True, so the development has to focus on hacking the bit rate and sampling rate, rather than producing fake stereo.
True but you gotta admit, the video is in hd for christ sake and the sound is not even close to the quality of video...c'mon. A bigger bitrate would be helpfull, at least AC3.

that is what every one is complaining about, including myself
we need an App to control which recording sound frecuency we want to use instead of whatever it's the default, which sounds like something on the 11Hz or 22 Hz at best guestimate
Been thinking of whether or not to get an HTC Incredible S, but I'm questioning the video recording quality on the device. I've heard that HTC's cameras aren't very spectacular in the past, and I wonder if it's been improved on the Incredible S. Taking a look at the photos thread, the camera seems alright. But I want to know if that's the same case for video recording, both visually and audio-wise.
Thanks.
My personal exp. With using the incredible s is that it does the job and is very underrated by a lot online unboxing and overall reviews...I hate the fact that it records in .3gp format. But to me,visually, its amazing compared to other devices I've used with 720p recording... And as far as the sound, it could be better,but but overall in my opinion very good..
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
imo, for a smartphone...it's great. A little jittery, pending the lighting and the amount of movement, as well as the setting. I find the 720p setting better than the wvga setting, however it does take up a lot more space. Zooming in is a little shakey, but it could be the screen protector that I have on the screen.

The htc voice recorder app distorts with live band sound levels. The video camera records beautiful clear undistorted audio of the same band. It seems htc didn't put the same brains into the voice recorder app... It'd be nice not to have to waste storage on video just to get good live music audio recordings. Anybody know how to fix this? There don't seem to be any gain settings in the app...
You could always record the video, go home and extract the audio with a PC application then delete the video.

thanks for the suggestion, i did end up using the video app to record, then found an app called "Android Audio Editor" that could actually transcode mp3 audio from the mp4 video right on the phone. It's a 3 day trial of the app, but it did a nice job. Here's a sloppy rehearsal of a live recording in a small room with live drums. Pretty impressive for a phone!

There's an update being released for audio and camera.
For sounding like garbage, that mp3 you posted sounds pretty damn good. If that makes since.
I tried to record Joe Walsh on my 3d evo at the Rose Garden ( Portland Oregon). It sounds really bad...Distortin' Mortin.

thanks! i'm very happy with the camera video and audio quality now, i'm blown away by how good it sounds and looks! it's great that HTC wen't above and beyond to create such an amazing multimedia experience with this device...
didn't mean to confuse my question... the mp3 i posted was the audio extracted from a video camera recording, not the bad one from the voice recorder app... for comparison, here's the bad distorted audio from the voice recorder app https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8nksirjxneivkg/Voice0002.aac )
I've gotten some decent "live" recordings using the earbud mic filter. Just plug in the beats earbuds and record with the system app.

Interesting, I haven't tried that, I assumed that was a mono Mic. (Maybe better for covert bootlegs?)
I'm really excited about the great stereo dual membrane mics on the One, they sound impressive for music taken from video, we just need to find an audio only app that can take advantage of the great mics correctly.
Irig seems to be decent. If you register you can optimize the audio some.

I chose this phone over the S4 based on the advertised higher quality audio capabilities. The speakers do sound great, but does anyone have any pointers on how to maximize the audio recording quality? I see a lot of articles regarding video, but not much for people trying to only record audio. Do some apps work better than others? Phone/mic placement? Do I have to record a video to get the best audio?
The thing is, I was playing (live music) with some friends several months ago, and one of them put their iphone4 on the opposite end of the room and ran the voice memo app. i was amazed at how clear it was compared to my S2. So far im not having the same experience with the HTC One.
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried much yet but sounds like the video recorder is best for audio recording.

I currently have the Droid Razr M and if I ever try to take a video of a concert or other loud environment the audio is always atrocious. I am hoping that the X has decent quality audio recording.
My Razr currently sounds like the S3 in this video:

Can someone upload a video they've taken with the X at a concert? Or even just crank up the volume of some music on your home theater (with bass) and see how it performs.
I am hoping that the X can approach the One!
