Poor framerate while recording - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried recording 720p and 1080p videos on my SGS2, and the framerate stutters a lot whenever its auto focusing, which happens all the time. Ive seen many 1080p samples churned out by this phone with lots of auto focus and they dont drop a single frame at all. I just got my phone on sunday and its not rooted or modified in any way. Is there some setting i need to adjust or is it a software bug on my set?

Just tried it again in the same environment and same lighting. Was testing the auto focusing this time, didnt pan around too much as well and it seems to work perfectly. So is it just me? Or did i expect too much?

Am having the same problem....fps drops to 10-12 and video stutters like anything.Anyone has a solution

[Q] 720p Recording lag - Is it normal?

Hey everyone
I am currently on Trip's IRIS rom, and even though it is quite brilliant except for the 720p recording. No matter what I do, closing down every process I can, the 720p recording lags like no tomorrow. When previewing AND playing on my PC, it pauses on multiple frames for 5 seconds and then skips onto next ones. Any suggestions?
Get a better SD card?
But it shouldn't be a problem, I have a very basic micro SD card and it doesn't lag or skips too many frames when recording at 720p, and I'm also on Trip's ROM.
Nevermind
Never mind people, the camera was by default set to Infinity focus which was beating the living soul out of the hardware. I changed it to Continuous and its working brilliantly.

[Q] Portrait Mode Camcorder- Stutter & Upload Issues

I noticed two weird things this evening after recording an HD video clip in portrait mode (2D). For starters, where in the world is the upload option? I don't see it popping up like I do when I have the camcorder in landscape mode. If I am unable to upload this in the same manner, can you think of anyway I can still do it?
Second, this is weird. Whenever I play the video back it stutters quite a bit. Now, it doesn't always stutter the whole way through, but it always does it at the beginning. I took some more sample clips, and I couldn't replicate this problem in either recording or playback. Here's the strangest part, though: When I went to trim the video, in review mode the entire thing played back without any issues at all! Still, it has the issues in full-sized playback, but in the preview mode for video timmer it played without a single hitch. What gives?!

[Q] YouTube video frame skip?

Does anybody else notice YouTube skipping frames (video only) when it changes the video resolution automatically to compensate for your internet speeds? Is there a setting change that can fix this?
It doesn't matter whether it's increasing or decreasing the resolution (144p, 240p, 360p. 480p, 720p, 1080p). The video freezes for like a second while audio continues as it normally should. Then the video catches up and is in sync with audio again..at least until it changes resolution again.
Noticed it on Sony's stock KitKat, rooted KitKat, and rooted Lollipop firmwares. This doesn't happen to my smartphone which runs on older hardware.

YouTube video judder

Got the tab s6 yesterday and having an issue while using YouTube. When playing the video at low res 360p or lower the right side of the video has a lot of judder as if the refresh rate is not syncing up. Happens when rotating to landscape. It only does that in the video itself, not on any other part of the screen. Watching same quality video using a different app, MX player, does not produce the same effect. Just wondering if it's the YouTube app or the tablet itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ended up exchanging the unit at BB. Same thing is happening. To reproduce is you have to have all the animations turned off in the dev options. Although it went away after I enabled msaa 4x and force gpu rendering turned on. So if you have animations off it'll give you a stuffer effect on one side of the screen.
That is not my case, i use YouTube Vanced! No ads, HD and 1440 video playing. Uploading a test video.

changing bitrate for video stabilization?

I've read in the custom rom thread which i have on my phone that people changed their bitrate to get video stabilization to work. Nobody seems to know anything over there and neither does google. So i was wondering if somebody knows here, how i can change the bit rate of my phone. I don't even really understand what it means. I only know of audio to have a bitrate but i would not know how to change it. How would i do that?

You're absolutely right: with regards to video it's the refresh-rate, abbreviated as FPS ( read: Frames Per Second ), the amount of frames what are drawn on screen per second. FPS isn't a static value.
EDIT:
FPS is capped on Android devices. Its maximum depends on Android version and device's hardware.

Hmm, i know about FPS and how it works for slowmo videos on my phone but people were specifically mentioning the bitrate.

May be I misunderstood you. AFAIK bitrate indicates the speed at which the data is transferred from one place to another in a given time. Many factors such as streaming platform, the speed of your internet connection, the resolution of the video & codecs used should be taken into consideration when adjusting a video bitrate. Users usually choose freeware such as HandBrake to adjust a video's bitrate.

Yes the bitrate part makes sense and maybe i didn't explain it well enough but: My phone, on the stock rom, has video stabilization. With my current PE custom rom it does not anymore but people in the custom rom thread pointed out, that they changed the bitrate (they didn't mention anything else) and now video stabilization is working for them. I didn't understood how they did that and how they were able to change the bitrate on their phone (i suppose?!) and was seeking for an answer in regards of that.
