[Q] Android record car trip - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi fellows,
I'm searching for a solution to record my road trips.
Currently I use lgCamera or Moto X camera, but I would like to record my tracks and speed to show after on TV or smartphone.
Anyone know any app that does it? Make movie and record the gps coordinates and car's speed.
I already thought of writing a log file (for each 3 seconds) the coordinates and speed that the GPS indicates at the moment, and when to show on TV, play the video with a subtitle file (.str) where have this information synced to the recording. That is, when you start shooting, start recording this text log together.

[Q] Lecture Notes + Lecture Videos or Lecture Audio Recording?

There are two additional apps for lecture notes. One called videos and another called recording (or something) which is just for audio. If I got the video app would it have the same functionality as the recording app?
Whats the difference?

It seems like the video app lets you record yourself writing and play it back as a video: "It has been designed while having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for producing tutorial videos or for recording her/his lecture while teaching using LectureNotes (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it to prepare tutorial videos for fellow students."
I am using lecturenotes plus the audio app. It records as you write and if you zoom in on text will follow along where you were writing at the time of when things are spoken. It's really nice and I highly recommend it as an addition to LectureNotes.

I meant how is the audio functionality in the video extension different from the audio functionality of the audio extension? Is getting the video the same thing as getting the audio + video?
@gina$zanboti: LectureRecordings records/replays audio together with notebook fokus, LectureVideos is a screencast extension that records display content (i.e. the process of writing) together with audio. A random example of the latter is www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg. In some sense, the functionality of LectureVideos encloses that of LectureRecordings, as you can also record audio with it.

With the video extension can you record audio without video? IE create a voice memo type of thing.
@gina$zanboti: With LectureVideos, the display content is always recorded, so it is somewhat like recording a voice memo with a video camera; it works, but it is not the purpose of the extension. For voice memos, LectureRecordings is better suited.
Does anyone know if the microphone for the samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition record audio in stereo? I just recorded 2 lectures and when I replay, sound comes from one speaker rather than 2. I didn't have this problem with the old note. I assume its because the microphone is recording mono, is there any way to change microphone settings to stereo?
@jaztech: Are you referring to the speakers of the Note 10.1? Have you checked that other audio sources replay in both speakers?

Hi acadoid,
Both my speakers work for playing regular audio on everything (google play music, samsung's music player, youtube etc... I even downloaded another audio voice recorder to see if the microphone would record in stereo and it did. The mono one speaker audio recording seems to be localized to LectureNotes.
@jaztech: Both LectureRecordings and LectureVideos request recording with two channels, it seems that the Android media recorder ignores that. Do you have the possibility to test an external stereo microphone?

No unfortunately I don't have one.

[Q] Low Audio Volume (video)

Hi all,
Have been using my Nexus 9 in a school environment to quickly film students doing their work.
The volume of the recorded video is appallingly low - and virtually makes the devices not fit for purpose.
Additionally, the continued auto-focus makes the video very blurry - but I believe I should be able to resolve this with a setting.
Is there any way of improving recording volume? Do I need to use a different video recording app (one that doesn't produce 3gp files)

Transferring/Viewing G5 video footage

Hi all - having a few issues after transferring some footage taken on a G5. The video plays fine on phone, however when transferred across it won't play on my Windows work PC. The file itself is rather large - 2.5Gb (around 20 mins footage).
Work removed the quicktime codec after the massive security issues last month which might account for the issue. Normally I would use Adobe Media Encoder to convert from Quicktime to a different codec within the mp4 container whilst retaining quality/settings etc however the file isn't recognised here. Any suggestions for how to recover/open the file?
On a similar note does anyone know the codecs used by G5 to encode video and if there is a way to change it?
Thanks,
GC.
The issue occurs for me only when I record video vertically.
Only solution I found, rather than recording everything horizontally, is using QuickTime with Media Encoder.

Video Editor that can show each Frame with Time stap in ms + fast forward

Hi,
i capture some series in hd from a foreign tv station in hd and sync it with the sd capture in my language - thats the only way to get some series in hd. the subtitles are hard coded, that means i have to search them in the sd capture and create my own subtitles manually. i've done this last year on my android phone using a slow motion player - worked ok, but with a lot of pre-work to do. the play couldn't show every frame and the time staps on in 00:03:27,2 and not 00:03:27,204, but this is imported for the subtitles.
so i search a video editor that can jump from one frame to the next, that can show my the exact time stap with 3 positions after the comma and with fast forward. i don't show the sd capture in real time, fast forward is ok to find the subtitles.
any idea?

Bluetooth audio stops when recording video, how to disable?

Hi,
is there any way in the crappy Xiaomi stock photo app to prevent the phone from stopping music playback while recording a video? As soon as I start recording a video, the music playback via Bluetooth tops instantly, and resumes after the video recording has stopped.
Dear Xiaomi engineers, I appreciate your thinking that one might not want to have noise while recording a video, but can you imagine that parents want to take a video of their kids while dancing to music? So why is there no option to disable this odd behaviour at least?
Btw, the Google GCam app asks what to do, and you can set the default behaviour. The Xiaomi camera app seems to lack this, is that correct?
