Show Off Video - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Anyone know if there's a good video to show off the screen of the Note 8 to friends?
Ideally, it'd be in the 18.5:9 (or close) and have HDR and 2K quality.
They had several on the store models and it was tremendous to see.

Youtube has some 4k HDR videos now. Just search it and then hit the button to grop/expand to full screen.
Composed on the Galaxy Note8

4k HDR videos can be downloaded from here: http://4kmedia.org/tag/hdr/
These two are particularly cool:

Confirm VGA video recording?

I've heard it has VGA recording, can anyone confirm this? And details about the video specs, is it 30 FPS?
I've read somewhere that the video recording resolution is 640X480 at 30fps, but I cant find the article again to prove it :s

Do you mean this bit
The HTC Touch Diamond 2 has a 5 Mega pixel camera with auto focus feature to help you take great pictures. The high VGA video resolution of 640X480 ensures that the photographs are of high quality with sharp and crystal clear images. The phone supports video file formats like WMV, 3gp, M4V, MP4, AVI and 3G2.

That doesn't say it either has or hasn't got VGA recording, in fact I'm not really sure what they are trying to say. They are talking about VGA video resolution in relation to taking photographs, after saying it has a 5 Mega pixel camera. Perhaps they are talking about the screen resolution, but if they are even that is wrong.

[Q] 1440p Video On Youtube?

can anyone confirm if youtube plays videos at 1440p on the N6? my note4 only goes to 1080p and am thinking of trading for the nexus, and this may help make the decision.

It should work but it depends on whether the particular video lists it as an option

I only see 1080P as the highest option. I read somewhere that YouTube removed anything higher then 1080p from the app
Well that's my question. Does the YouTube player have the 1440p option? On my note 4 the highest option available is 1080p but there is a hack where changing the build prop to 5.0 allows the 1440p option. I would prefer not to do this though as it's being reported it breaks s-note

I can confirm. I tried this video here http://youtu.be/p56_y43UuEk and there's no option for 1440
I can also confirm. Received my N6 today and the youtube app does not have any options for anything above 1080p even if the video is 1440p or higher. All you need is the updated apk from this post. It works in 1440p perfectly. http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2mxo74/youtube_5185_has_2k/
Do you think you can actually see the difference? Don't mean to sound like a ****, just curious. Lol
Yeah i can absolutely tell a difference. Try it.

That update is quite nice. Definitely worth the download for anyone second guessing themselves.

UPDATED! Shock horror. Mate 10 vs Mate 9 display!!b

Ok maybe a little dramatic but still - a little disappointing.
I have done a few tests. Played the exact same HDR YouTube videos at the exact same time with my Mate 9 and Mate 10 one above the other in landscape mode. The Mate 9 is MUCH brighter than the Mate 10 on maximum brightness. I have factored turning off auto brightness and turned off Smart resolution etc etc. They also have different colour temperatures even if you set them both to warm, default or cold - they still look different.
I have tried HDR videos on both phones and I see absolutely no difference. I studied the colours so hard. I see absolutely no difference between a 1440p video and a 1080p video playing at the same time. In fact, most times the Mate 9 looks sharper and more vibrant. Also shockingly the Mate 9 offered for example 1080p 60fps option on a video whereas the Mate 10 offered maximum 720p 60fps on the same video. 1080p was nowhere in the list. What the hec! Battery at 100% so no resolution switching to save power.
Basically, it is true 1440p is wasted on a phone. There is no difference on a small screen such as a phone. All these people saying "yeah but X phone only has a 1080p screen" don't realise that it doesn't really matter. It all looks the same.
So I hear the Mate 10 is HDR 10 compatible and yet I don't see it with my eyes. If I am doing something wrong and someone wants to correct me, please DO. I want to be wrong.
What are your tests and opinions?
Despite all this, I still love the phone. ?
I take it all back.
I have discovered YouTube does not show HDR10 output even if the video says so.
ONLY the built in video player supports true HDR10 content.
I downloaded these HDR sample videos from an XDA post:
https://mega.nz/#F!jYwlgbBA!piXwD8sYa7zjsRtjStuAyw
Play them in the default video player and they look stunning. I took a screenshot of a paused video and when opened up in gallery, the colours were bland compared to the actual playing footage. Proof enough.
Phew! This phone is amazing!
Do you get higher peak brightness when in vivid mode ?
AFAIK - Currently Netflix is the only third party app supporting HDR 10 for this phone
Youtube coming soon though,
So, you might want to change your thread title, LoL

Of course it's the same because mate 10 comes preset to 1080p lol. And stop listening to tech reviewers the are dumb, only way to see it 1080p and 2k is to use magnifying object like camera or glass etc. I have iPhone 7 plus, LG G6, Moto Z play, Essential phone and the s8 which I sold because of burn in, I don't see the dots pixel on any off them because I don't look for it, they all looks the same some are brighter and vibrant than others. That's it.
Another thing, the max brightness on auto is superior than the manual max brightness. That happen on a bunch of smartphones.
So, it's dumb to compare max brightness with the auto setting turned off.
The best way to compare it, is going outdoor with the auto checked on both and look which one seems brighter.

Do you record in HEVC and are there visible differences ?

Got my S10+ and I see that it has HDR+ option and HEVC. HDR+ should be better in any case but what about HEVC ?
Is there visible quality difference when you record in HEVC format ? In size it does have difference but also it disables HDR+ option.
Thanks
One more thing, did I got it right that HDR+ videos can be viewed only on HDR devices ????
I thought it will appear like normal video on laptop or other phone and TV ? So normal video wothout any HDR effects. Then I must turn it off if that is the case.
Anyone ? Is xda dead ?

I haven't played with HEVC, but I do know that Apple has this option to and can capture in this format. Basically it should be an upgrade to the older format(H.264/MP4) and should provide better compression and support for 8K too
Also for HDR you normally need HDR supported display. For example my Surface Pro 6 can play HDR videos from YouTube and other streaming services. Otherwise HDR videos will play normally on other displays/devices

There is no difference in quality. HEVC is smaller in size and doesn't run on all devices compatible with x.264

HEVC stands for High efficiency Video Codec. It is nothing more than a compression format. It does nothing for video quality

Filming - What resolution & settings? How-to Widescreen/Cinema?

Hi guys,
I recently bought an DJI Mobile 3 (Gimbal) and looking to do some Widescreen shooting.
1) I'm supposed to present the film at a 1080 screen, is there any reason to shoot at an higher resolution? I'm thinking to film in 1080p @ 60 fps. Is this optimal?
2) What postprocessing app or/and film-app can I use to get the Widescreen/Cinema view?
Thanks for helping a novice out. I'm making a small commercial for my small company.
1) Unless you want to view it in a theater (which has a standard resolution of 8K) or a quarter of it (for 4K), nope. A 1080p footage will still look good enough at 100-120" provided you watch it from enough distance (3 meters or so). For the framerate, 60fps is the netflix standard, but cinematic movies all use 24fps (very few does 48fps). You can always reencode faster framerate to a slower one, just like you can reencode 4K into 1080p. 30fps tend to have better details, though, so if you after cinematic movie, record in 30fps instead.
2) Instead of postprocessing, get a quality anamorphic lens to get 21:9 aspect ratio. Apexel, Ulanzi, Moment, all have good one.
Little tip: Since you have a gimbal, turn off EIS to get wider view.

Great advice - bless you! Noted.
The Anamorphic Lens from Ulanzi is coming my way in the mail, I'm excited to try it out with the Gimbal.
Any advice on apps or WIN10 software to either shoot in or/and do some amature postprocessing? Should I shoot in the Mi 9 stock app with the Ulanzi on?
Sorry for all the Q's. Totally understand if you can't reply them all.

No idea for that platform, my computer OS is Linux.

You can, but if you want more finer controls (like smooth zooming by using a slider or the ability to use external mic unless you have direct USB-C mic), use Open Camera.

Hi man, got a question for you:
How do you feel using the DJI Mobile 3? I've been thinking buying one for a while now. Is it worth the money? Also, since Mi9 does not have OIS and only have EIS (which in my opinion is a bit trashy) does it stabilize well also when you turn off EIS on the phone?

movavi is quite a basic program, but Id suggest going the premiere pro route. Also, if you want the best of the best recording app, buy (or download a cracked apk) filmic pro.
