Am having trouble texting compressed videos with the default.camera app. Any video over 5 seconds is very distorted

That is a limitation of sending videos via text/mms. Depending on the size of the video, you will have better luck emailing or uploading the video to Google Drive, then sending the intended recipient a link to download it. If under 20MB, then email will work, but will be slow to send. If you have a google account, which you do, Google Drive is free.
Trying!

Can we Skype on this thing ? Can't find the app in the market
I downloaded the apk and the app runs smooth. The only thing is no video chat. Voice calls work great though.

We basically want to be able to video chat with our grandkids. They have an ipod touch. CS representative told me today that Tango from the marketplace was an app for both the ipod and the Streak. Guess we will be using that.
Also, yahoo messenger has video chat capabilities. Maybe since I'm an old grandma I'm the only one who doesn't know this stuff, but I'm posting here in case it will help others.
I would ultimately love to have Skype with video and be able to use that at all times instead of having to use a different program for every video call we want to make.
The iphone has skype video. And from what i read android should have it soon as well.

So can the streak 7 use skype to make voice calls? That would fit the missing element if we have voip.
Hope video chat can be avaiable on android device soon.
I use yahoo messanger for video chat. Its just you cant use the front camera only back.

I did a search and foumd nothing for the D3, so can someone recommend a good video chat app? I tried Qik Video but it kept FC, and I would like a recommendation. Thanks!

VTok allows you to video chat through Google Talk. Fring works for the Droid 3 as well.
My wife and I use Tango between her iPhone 4 and my Droid 3. Quality is mediocre, but it works.

I got tango. It works, but as you said the quality is a little lacking. No worries, though. I really only need it when my husband is out of town. Thanks!

Fring seems to be the best one so far for me. 3g is medicore at best, but works slightly better on wifi
video chat with paltalk mobile
You can try paltalk mobile. visit paltalk.com from your mobile browser and it should direct you to the android download page, or you can get it from the android market by searching for paltalk.
DISCLAIMER: I work for them so please don't get mad, the video is a subscription service, although we are adding 'super IM' soon wihch will allow for up to 10 users in your video chat for free. The subscription service is for the open chat rooms and costs 60 bucks a year.
We are in testing now so it may be a bit buggy, but it does allow for multiple videos at once in open groups. Stay tuned for the super IM release which as I said earlier will have free video for private conversations.
Warning! - paltalk does have 'adult' activity in some chat rooms so this is not an app for kids or anyone under the age of 18. It's not a smut site, but there is an adult category (one of many many categories)
I have a droid 3 and on my 3g connection the video is FAST!
To be honest this app was developed for our current users and subscribers, but if you are seeking a pretty amazing video chat app that is still a bit early in development you may want to give it a try.
You do NOT have to pay anything if you don't want to.

There is a limit to the size of mms videos. Not sure what the limit is, but HD quality is not going to go through.
Then I honestly see no point to hd videos if all you can do is email them I figured there might be a app to allow it

Little info:
10 sec file at: List of edit option built in to Bionic.
QCIF 176x100 for resizing about 500K
CIF 352x288 for recording
QVGA 320x240 recording, 320x180(resizing from HD) is about 750k
VGA 640x360(from HD) is about 2.5MB
VGA for recording 640x480
DVD 720x480 for record
HD 720p 1280x720 is about 12MB
HD+ 1080p 1920x1080 is about 18MB
Most carriers allow 300k to 1MB for MMS, Hancent advertises over 1MB MMS on their network. They just send a link for downloading.
Recommend try out Box.net, Dropbox, or other built in Bionic settings.
Do a quick upload and from there you can share the link from your texting app with Dropbox. Box.net only offers link to share from email app. I uploaded the 20mb file to both.
Bionic also can be setup to quick upload to Flickr (yahoo account), photobucket, Picasa (Google acct) and Youtube.
Yeah just tried to send videos to mom I just dowloaded a emsil to text app worked fine just a pain

QHey there,
Today I was just roaming in my nexus' system files(running stock 4.2.2) and I ended up finding 2 videos. I ran a search in xda and on Google but nobody has ever reported them.Thought I'll just share it with the community.
They are located in
Internal memory/system/media/video
Once again if they are already known then forgive me for posting.
If you like,press thanks button.

Sample videos. These are delivered with almost all the devices. Its like the sample videos, pictures and music on newly installed Windows
yeah, I always delete them. It's only a few mb, but they take up unnecessary space.
Those videos do actually serve a purpose, they were used in Google Talk when you're in a video chat and you enable the sunset/space backdrops. Though I imagine they'll be removed in the future now that Talk has been replaced with Hangouts (which lacks the backdrop feature)
Still they are something people normally don't know.(I guess)
I dont know if this is an android prob or a "my phone" prob but i cant seem to figure out why my instagram videos stop short on playback. It will play like half the clip on my feed and reset itself. If i log in on my work iphone it always plays the whole clip. Any suggestions? I hate using the small iphone screen.
And i am talking about videos on my feed not videos i am recording and uploading.
