Increase camera video quality!

I don't think I've ever clicked on an "Alldroid - View Topic" link that actually led me to anything other than "Page Not found".

Killing tasks!!! Great idea - before video shoot.

Found this: Higher Quality Video Recording | Root Your Droid
Read some pixilated videos even with hack.....

Need to make HQ / Video / Audio shoots of musicians playing acoustic guitar / singing.

Root Explorer - /system/build.prop
MT R/W
Open in Text editor
Changed values in red:
MT R/0
reboot Droid

ro.media.enc.hprof.file.format=mp4
ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.vid=h264
ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.aud=aac
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.width=720
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.height=480
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.fps=25 (to 30 fps)
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=3500000 (to 6000000)
ro.media.enc.hprof.aud.bps=96000 (to 192000)
ro.media.enc.hprof.aud.hz=16000 (to 44100)


app / Video - choose HQ (SD Card) - Will transfer to PC via USB Mount to upload HQ video later to FB / YT
Note: can always choose low quality video for msg / email from Droid - if necessary


35 sec test video - CPU / 1kHz
Camera Pro / Pro Zoom Camera 5X / Droid installed video camera - all had some broken up / pixilated video
Helped stop pixilation: check / stop running applications / see what's running
- app - white killer closes apps - bad name / works well
- app - cacheclear (says cache is already cleared)
.:. Camera Pro tested 45 sec - 100% video smooth - no breakup / pixilations - repeated results / confirmed

Note: some later videos had slight breakup. Wondering about speed of data capture / SDCard?

Tried different SetCPU settings w/1KHz BB V1.0
CPU setting: 750 / 600
CPU Governor: Userspace / Performance
Results: clean video


Read lower CPU settings are better for video. I've also read pixilation is fixed by higher CPU settings.

Note: some say change codec h264 to mv4..... will check this later.

Check this out - Increase data read / write performance:
Upgrade Droid stock class 2 micro SDCard to Class 6 / Class 10 micro SDCard

Stock SDcard that comes with the Droid is a SanDisk class 2 16GB Micro SD.
Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MByte/s)
Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MByte/s)
Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MByte/s)
Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MByte/s)

FYI: In 2.2, Build.prop does not contain any settings pertaining to the camera.

Kinda bummed. Tweaks for the video camera are why I upgraded to 2.2 early and rooted my droid.

Hopefully, someone will find where the settings are located in Froyo.

Has any one found out a hack for 2.2 yet?
