Hi all.
I was wondering if you guys know if it's possible to change any settings in the video recording app in x10 mini (android 2.1) ? The ideal for me would be able to record in anything other than 3gp. I have also searched the market for an app which converts 3gp to another format (on the phone I mean) but didn't find anything.
The reason I want to do this is because I have found a pretty great free app, which I recommend to everyone, which is called TwonkyServer Mobile : it transforms your phone into a DLNA server, so you can directly view photos, music and videos that are on your phone to your TV through any other DLNA device such as XBOX, PS3, Bravia TV, media centers, etc...
It amazes all the people to who I demoed this : you take a pic from your phone, launch twonkyserver, and BOOM it's on your TV
It would be so great of I could do the same with videos, but 3gp formats are not recognised by most media centers...
try lgcamera from the market it can record in mp4 and avc..
thanks dude !! will try it tonight and let you know how it went ;-)
Dude ! The LG app is unusable, it crashes all the time, I cant use this.

X10 with Twonky Media Server
Hi,

Could you help me in this
Media Server :Twonky -Xperia X10
Thanks in Advance
I still have the same problem. The issue comes from the fact that the phone only records videos in 3gp format, and the TV does not have the 3gp codec to read it. There are only 3 solutions :
- wait for bravia update to have a 3gp codec (and this might take forever).
- find another video recording app working on the x10 mini which can record in another format such as MP4 (but I haven't found it).
- find another app which can convert 3gp to mp4 on the phone (can't find it either).
If any of you guys have a clue for this, I would be very thankfull.
Hi Guys,
I am on .62 firmware (Gingerbread) and everytime I take a video using the camera the file size is very large, around 40mb for a minute or maybe more. So what I did was I reduced the file sizes of my videos by using AVS video converter by using this profile. This significantly reduces the file size upto 6x less!
The videos work with the PC but when I try to play the video using the android system then I get a message that says the video cannot be played. The thumbnails for the videos in the gallery are also messed(just random lines and for some the thumbnail does not even appear). However when I play the video using moboplayer it works perfectly. But this is no use if the video isnt being displayed properly in the Gallery.
So this is probably a problem with the video format. The extension is mp4 so I dont think thats the problem, but I'm not sure if the video profile (see above screenshot) I entered was correct for phones.
Can someone please help me...
EDIT: AFTER JUST LEAVING THE PHONE FOR AROUND 5 MINUTES THE VIDEOS NIOW WORK, BUT THE THUMBNAILS ARE STILL MESSED UP, EVEN AFTER CLEARING THE THUMBNAILS.
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.
I have bubbleUPnP installed on a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tablet. When I enter the URL below into BubbleUPnP, (I've had to remove 'http' from the link so that this message would post)the app thinks it's a video and opens my video player app. It plays the sound but obviously it's not what I want. When I choose an external renderer to send to my HiFi, which is what I really want to do, then the screen shows the film strip image (instead of the headphone image for audio) and indicates it's a MP4 file and nothing happens. I'd be grateful for a fix to this problem as I'd like to be able to play the BBC 320Kb AAC streams to my HiFi.

Well sometimes I still use Windows Mobile 6 on my pocket pc
If I need to watch a Youtube video I just surf on m.youtube.com, I click on the video and then an external video player called Coreplayer automatically starts and I can watch the video (like any video stored in memory)
Is it possible to do this thing on Android? In which way?
