[Q] Can I record a Video Call?? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to record video call WITHOUT using skype and gtalk. Save into 3gp format...? is it necessary to root my device to enable the recording function? Any reply would be much appreciated...
Cheers

Doubt it. Definitely doable with Skype. Why not use that ?

I check out my friend i9100's gallery got recorded our video call. The video in 3gp file save as the name as "VT2011-12-18 13.15.47.3gp". That's definitely the date and time of our video call session. Make a google search and come out with no luck... He forgot already which custom rom using at that time. Very unfortunate...

Recording video call that I just mentioned earlier either my friend using Rarity ROM or Criskelo ROM. But try V38 criskelo ROM cannot record video call. So any idea 3rd party apps yet have the best quality for Video Call? Skype? gtalk? Tango? Fring? which one is the best and no upside down image? Any suggestion?? Huhu...

any program or method to record video call from skype on my galaxy s ii

Well, ive tried recording tango video calls with screencast, z screen recorder and display recorder.
None have worked as I'd hope. I just get black screens or broken image on my xt875.
tried forcing gpu rendering. still nothing
no option to disable hardware overlay on mine. hmm
waiting for a solution.

Hello, exist a way to pause the video-recording and then retake to record? I think that can be very usefull in our HD2. i use a lot this phone to take pictures and video and sometimes when i'm recording i want to pause and start recording again later.
Is there some application or some kind of tweak to make it possible?
Many thanks!

FOr now you can record, stop, continue recording, merge the two movies in movie maker.
Hi
Yeah i think it would be goo idea if we could pause on the htc hd2?
anyway you can tweak that?
thanks in advance
I agree that this would be an awesome idea. that way, it will be like a real video camcorder without the manual edits on a computer!
Someone find a way to develop this1

Current SGSII owners: Any of the video chat apps work with FFC?

Just as the title says, does any of the current video chat apps work with the SGSII front facing camera?
Apps like: Fring, Tango, Qik Connect, oovoo ?
Your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Fring works for me on the test call, just installed to test
Just trying Tango
Dickie
Cant test Tango without contacts to make call, but Qik works after Menu>Switch Cameras on the record option...
I think its safe to assume all is good with the FFC!!
Dickie.
Thanks so much for checking.
VERY curious on Tango as this is the main app i use for video calling but it is good to know that Fring and Qik both work with the FFC
Anything with Skype? I am sure they will be adding the support soon. Hopefully if it doesn't cause any conflicts with their BS exclusivity with Verizon.

How did you get Qik to work properly? It works but my image is upside down..? Also, where did you see option to switch camera in the menu in Qik.?
UPDATE: Found the setting your talking about but its in video share. By changing that, will it display me right side up in the video chat part of Qik?

we don't have a front facing camera..... what you gonna do with video chatting then?
As we can do video chat using back camera is there any app for video call using back camera.

Are you looking for something like Fring?
I had read this article about this app some time back. It might be what you are looking for. Download Link.

[Q] Video recording with screen turned off?

Hello!
Is there a way to record videos with the screen turned off? I frequently record longer videos and that would save a lot of juice...
I have tried the various spy camera like apps, but none of them makes high quality recordings (although some of them can record HD it is of very low quality).
The only feature I need is to be able to turn off the screen after starting the recording in the stock camera app.
Is it possible?
No.
The only current way is 3rd party apps, as you mention. I guess you're stuck with the best of them, for now.
I use videoreg from the market to record my car journeys in case of an accident and to laugh at the stupid things people do
this has third party support for the samsung hi def codecs and can record in background, with the screen off.

it pretty much just worked, AAC audio, 1280x720 (although 1080p works too) H.264 and mpeg4. Make sure to turn on extended camera controls and manual bitrate.
After a reboot it now works as it should (before it stopped the recording right after I pressed the rec button and did not save anything) - the quality is really perfect!! Thanks a lot! (Although I still prefer to use the stock app - in case somebody has a solution for that please post it...)
I've recently published app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lofatsoftware.hvc which records video in background... also then screen is turned off.
I've tried it on 6 different devices and quality of video is exactly the same as when recording via android stock camera application.
I would be grateful for feedback if my app works for you.
Best reagrds,

Auto Focus while recording video

Would it be possible through software update or custom rom / kernel to enable Auto Focus while recording video?
It's not the end of the world if we can't enable it, just curious. makes video of anything close pretty much useless.
I have noticed that autofocus does work when the software supports it.
For instance, Tango (video and voice calls) focuses automatically during a video call.
Also there's this software called lgCamcorder which supports autofocus while recording. But it doesn't work on our phone. Is there a way we can get this to work on our phones?
