Hi All,
I've broken my "Pictures and Videos" app - it just hangs briefly, then exits.
I've done the standard rename of MFC80U.DLL (I don't have atl80.dll present) and it doesn't help.
Anything else I can do? Any way of setting the default pictures and video viewer to an alternate bit of software like xview? I use a contacts viewer that's excellent but calls "pictures and videos" to add images to contacts hence the need for a default change...

Hi,
The default screen capture saves the screenshots in .png format. Is there any option to save/convert as a .jpg file? My Samsung Galaxy SII used to save the screenshots as .jpg
.png is a more efficient format. Why the need for .jpg? Just curious.
You can always convert with a computer.
.png does not open on Blackberry phones I guess. Encountered this when I sent a screenshot to a friend having a Blackberry.

.PNG gives an error when trying to send MMS. It can not be read by my famliys' phones.
There are plenty of photo manipulation apps on Market that can open .PNG and save it as .JPG. Also, there are several other screenshot apps that allow you to select the output format. So, either convert the images or get another screenshot app.
OT: .JPG is a lossy format, every time you save something as .JPG it loses some color and pixel information, even opening a .JPG file and then saving it again without any modifications done to it does this.
.PNG however is a completely lossless format, there is no loss of information whatsoever when saving something as .PNG. Also, .PNG does not distort colours or introduce compression artifacts. This is why using .PNG is beneficial in situations where every single pixel matters, and thus I can kind of understand the decision for the screenshooter to save as .PNG; after all, in most cases every single pixel does indeed matter if you're trying to showcase the software.

Thanks good info to know.
I created a folder on /sdcard/ called "Other" and added 5 pictures and 2 movies. The snapshot for the whole album is one of the videos but I rather have one of the pictures instead. What is the defining characteristic that defines what becomes the album snapshot? I tried changing the modified date and dates and at one point I was able to switch it to the 2nd video but when I kept playing with it the first video became the snapshot again and I haven't been able to change it. If anyone has any idea it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hi
I love the video highlight "app" but recently I have taken loads of photos on my dslr and wondered if there is a way of creating a video highlight from these photos if I put them on the phone?
Thanks
like ios app "motion stills" (live photo to gif)
i wanna make gifs using my moving pictures
plz help me
What are you asking? Looks like after recordding it you tap the bottom, select the GIF, press the "forward" looking button and select GIF?
i mean how i convert p10's moving picture into gif
I don't think the built in camera app can do that. But as you say, Motion Stills does

Looking for the same solution on my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. There's currently no way to export your Motion Photos you've snapped as a MP4 or GIF. They're stuck inside the phone and only viewable in the default Gallery app. ?
I am having the same issue on my mate 10 pro. But if I share the moving picture to the Quik app and save it as a mp4. Then use a mp4 to gif convertor, it works. The only issue is Quik adds effects which I am unable to avoid
Hey guys!
I had the same issue with my Huawei P 9 Plus. And then I did like this:
1. Took my motion picture.
2. Opened it to have it close.
3. Made double click with my index and middle's knuckles to run screen shooting.
4. Then I opened GIF-MAKER-GIF Editor app, selected the screen recording and cutted it as I wanted to delete the "reccording frame" and finally I saved it.
5. At last, once you are intended to share it by whatsapp, it will apper a message so it will be sent as a gif but you should convert it into a gif or a video by whatsapp yourself, as it is not supported by whatsapp.
And then you have your motion pincture into a gif! Nice regards from Spain. "AlegrÃa y buen humor!"
I think quik is the only solution... Because these moving jpg files cannot be played by any other program
Basically Huawei appends an MP4 padded at the end of a jpeg.
Had the same quest.. I've copied the jpeg over my PC and opened it up in 010 Editor and applied the JPEG template, which showed entire megabytes of 'unknownPadding'.
Scrolling through those I've seen the "moov" string and a quick search revealed it was an MP4 header.
To actually copy the MP4, you have to select 4 bytes before the "ftypmp42" string (click there, ctrl-shift-end). Now copy them and paste them in a new HEX file.
Apply the 010 Editor Mp4 template now. Notice there is an unknow header at the end. Delete that.
Save and enjoy your Mp4.
It would be great if some hacker could automate this in an app where you share the jpg file to and it extracts the mp4 from it.
Btw, converting to GIF turned a 10MB mp4 into a 22MB Gif, so it is not recommended without re-cropping/resizing.
Get Moments 2 MP4 app from play store. Tested and it works to convert the moving jpgs on my y9 prime to MP4 clips.
