N8 Camera / Video Recording Problem

I have my N8 for good few months and enjoyed using it 'til recently.
'Unusual Problem Occurred' comes up on the screen every time I want to switch my camera from taking pictures to video mode, and you asked to turn the phone off and on again. Even if you won't do it, it will restart itself. All software is up to date, I did reset the phone to factory defaults and it worked for few hours and the same problem came up again. It is obviously software issue if it works from time to time.
Please advise.

I have exactly the same problem and it too started only a few days ago. I have been talking to the customer care team and after a couple of long conversations and useless advice on what to do, we have come to the conclusion that it is a bug in the latest software update that is preventing the camera from working correctly.
I tried the system reset by doing *#7780# as advised, which did nothing. Some threads that I have read about other people having the same problem suggested letting the phone battery run down; this did nothing either.
Nokia then suggested that it might be because I wasn't running a memory card and there was insufficient space, so I should delete pics and movies- this just annoyed me because I had 9GB free, which if it was the case would make the phone even more ridiculous.
After some time and several trips to speak to the level 2 advisor, they finally concurred that it is a glitch in the latest software, which i assume you are running also; because my phone like yours had been running ok up until i installed the new updates. they said that the team are aware of the problem and are working to rectify in new update to come-no date on that and I'm not so sure i believe them. So for now we will have to sit and wait, or try and get a different phone.
there was another solution they put forward-to re-flash my phone, taking it back to its original settings and software (so my super smart phone will be running the oldest software, with the glitches the new updates were supposed to erradicate!). this would be done by my local service centre-which means i would have to send the phone away.
I am very annoyed that this would occur as the only reason i went against tec reports on the phone and bought it, was because of the great imaging capabilities of the phone-I wish i had gone for one of the competitors if it is not fixed soon.
if you find a solution reply on here please.

Video recorder problem

After update 5.1.1 video recorder without voice, it was not so before.I have restored phone and repaired by PC compani,but nothing.

I have the same problem with Amazing Race -- every Sunday, CBS runs late with football which pushes back 60 minutes and subsequently everything else that evening.
What I've taken to doing for any show on a channel which follows football (Sunday or Monday night) is setup a Series recording and then go back into the series a modify it and extend the End Time by 1 hour (I found most games only run over about 20-30 minutes but usually no more than an hour -- although to be safe you could add 90 minutes to the end if you really want to).
This results in recording the end of the previously show before the show I wanted to watch on nights when the game runs late which I can just fast-forward over) or an additional hour on the end of the show on nights when football somehow manages to end on time -- but that's not all them much space on the DVR and as a result I don't miss any of the show.
I would love if one of these days the guide providers and the TV channels could provide real time updates that the DVR's could leverage and adjust their recording times on the fly, but alas that doesn't seem to be in the near future. Of course, I've also complained to the networks that since football always seems to run over by at least 20 minutes -- why not just make the football time slot 30 minutes longer! (and on nights with a shorter game, fill the extra time with an extended sports wrapup show or something).

BlackMagic usb Video recorder problem.

Recorder has been checked by the manufacturer, it's ok.
It works fine when booted from an ehd with 10.4.7 on a 24" iMac. (Used to work on 10.6.3 too but not even on a clean install 10.6.3 now.)
Under 10.6.8 the record lamp only blinks when clicked and will not latch.
The same symptom is displayed on 3 separate computers all with 10.6.8, two mac minis (less than a year old) and one 24" iMac.
It has to be down to 10.6.8 somehow even though the manufacturer has also tested under 10.6.8 where it was ok but they sent me a new one just in case. Problem presists.
OS reinstalled, ditto video recorder software.
Hardware is hardly thinkable as the recorder is ok, the 3 computers have varying degrees of installations from simple, minimal for tv only use, to a mainly browser/web tv, to all sorts of stuff on the iMac.
All ideas gratefully received, I've reached a dead end.

The reason why the Blackmagic H.264 Recorder doesn't work - is that FMLE is looking for RAW uncompressed video. Lots of USB devices are encoding the output signal into MPEG 2 and other formats that FMLE and Windows Media Encoder 9/Expression Encoder 4 don't understand or can't decode.
Those using Livestream.com's service, their encoding application (without FMLE in the middle) will see the output of of the Blackmagic H.264 Recorder.

Iphone 6 video recording problem

I've had a 128gb Iphone 6 since release day, the slo-mo and video recording worked fine initially and then I noticed a problem.
if I try to record a video in normal or slo-mo mode it will start recording fine and then I can't end the video by pressing stop or either of the volume buttons.
The only way to get out of it ta to press the home button and then close the application, but the video will not be saved.
This just happened with snapchat also and I've had a replacement 6 from the Apple Store for this problem but it's happened again!
I tried a full restore through iTunes and still have the same problem.
Anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks

Raise to speak with Siti does just as provided - when you raise the iPhone up to or towards your face, Siri is activated.
When you turn off Raise to Speak, you must press the Home button to activate Siri.
Since you called Siri stupid, seems you are a prime candidate to turn Raise to Speak off. If not, stupid Siri will continue to ask you want you want to do when your iPhone is raised up to or towards your face.

Help please! iphone 5 video recording problem

i have a 16gb iphone and only 3 apps downloaded (and still available space). only 7 photos and no videos on my camera roll. why are my vids not recording all of a sudden??? i've had this phone for 6 weeks and it's been great, now videos wont record at all. i have filmed vids for over 10 minutes (and of course deleted them off my camera roll after i was done filming). why is it not recording when there's still space on my phone?

The problem I found, on my iPhone back a film on it to protect against scratches. Then looked at an Apple TV and advertising because it has been shown that the back is a small addition to the Micro Camera :) and that was covered by the foil so foil away and everything works perfect.
Sorry for my bad English :(
Thanks

N85 video recording problem

hi, I´ve got a serious problem with my N85. When I try to record a video in high-TV-quality(to my microSD card) it starts to lag extremely after about 8 sec., same problem with normal TV-quality after 30 sek..
Another interesting part is that after I stop the recording the video is saving for about 10 sec.!(even if the video is only 1 sec. long)
It works fine if I save videos to internal memory! My 8GB card is original and only 45% filled (so about 3.6GB free)
But now the interesting Part: It worked fine before(with the same SD card), the video didn´t lag and it was saved in about 1 sec. I didn´t add anything to my phone, so what could be the problem??
thanks for your help

I´ve testet the problem for a few weeks now and I noticed something. the video stuttering is gone when I delete older videos(they have to be older than 4 days), after i do that I can record a video up to a length of 10 min(or even longer, if I had time to try) but after 1 video the effect is gone, even if I delete the just recordet video. I also experienced that deleting a good video(non-stuttering) takes a lot less time than to delete a lagging one.
to sapporobaby: it sure is the way date is being written to the card, cause it is working if I record to phone memory, but I didn´t buy a Nseries device to capture videos with only 2 min. length.
Furthermore this problem is not listet in the changelog for the new SW
can anyone help me?

Video recording problem

So I noticed that when I record a video on my iPhone 3GS and play it back on my phone, it sounds fine. But when I transfer and open the video on my computer, the audio is insanely distorted. This appears to have started just recently. Any idea what could be causing this?

Hey Fayzan, Sorry you are having this problem.
Have you checked in the picture folder to see if it is in there? If not then try search the entire device for any MP4 format files.
I hope this helps,

Canon camera video download problems

I have a canon S2 IS and have no problems with photo downloading to Iphoto5. The videos I shoot with the camera are a different story. some videos download and others never make it into Iphoto. I think it depends on the format I shot them in. The import label keeps going and going without anything happening. Any thoughts?
Jeff

Yesterday I used my Canon camera as a video camera. (Not by choice, but it was better than nothing.) I spent quite a while uploading video clips from my SD cards today. Yes, a 2-minute clip can take more than 3 minutes to upload. Here are some tips:
Use a card reader. You do not want to rely on the camera's batteries during this process. I used my all-in-one printer as a card reader.
Use Image Capture. Click "Upload Some." View the card's contents in list view, because it will show you the size in MB of each video clip. This gives you a relative idea of how long the upload may take.
Upload only one video at a time.
Ignore Image Capture's blue progress bar. It seems to go from zero to completely blue, with no in between. It does not indicate any movement or change.
Use the Activity Monitor to see the Available RAM pie piece slowly shrink during the uploading. This shows you that something really is happening. You can also watch for the light on the card reader - if it blinks then the card is being read. My Mac Mini made no sound during the uploading.
Be patient. Eventually the Image Capture "Downloading" info will close and a Finder window will open with the new file showing. Ten minutes is not unreasonable. I even had an 8-minute video that was over 900MB, that uploaded successfully. I just had to wait long enough.
Play each clip in QuickTime to check that it is all there. If the upload is incomplete the clip will go white. My 8-min clip seemed incomplete at first. It played about 3 minutes, then went white. I closed it. In the Finder I saw the thumbnail file appear. When I opened the clip again, it was there in its entirety.
Ignore any .THM files that get uploaded. They are just the thumbnails created by the Canon. You can trash them.
Once all the clips were uploaded to a folder, I imported them into iPhoto 6. It only took a few minutes to import the whole folder of 15 clips. I like having them in iPhoto because their duration is displayed over their thumbnails.
I don't know if iPhoto 5 handles these longer clips as well. If it doesn't like them, you can always save them in your Movies folder. This will make them accessible from iMovie and iDVD.
I used to be able to import video directly from my card reader into iPhoto 6, even with clips up to 3 minutes long, shot with the same camera I used yesterday. I went back to 1Gig cards (no more 2Gig cards), and the problem did not resolve. I suspect the QuickTime update(s) after 7.1.3 have somehow caused the trouble with video clips. It seems slower and fussier this year compared with last year.
Hope this helps.

Photobooth Video Recording Problem

Hello, I'm trying to record simple videos using photobooth, however when I play them back the video and audio skip every 15 seconds or so. I prefer photobooth for this because it is simple compared to imovie and easier to use for my purposes. This problem does not occur on my little brothers original white macbook. Can anyone please help me with this?

Log into another User account and see if it does it there.
Also, make sure you don't have any other processes going on in the background while you are recording. I.e., reboot the computer and just open PB and record.

Hi Rajesh
Open the slide to start the camera. Select Options; Video Mode.
The icon in the bottom right corner of the viewfinder shows what quality level is selected for video capture. It will either be MP4 or 3GP.
Select Options; Settings; Video Quality. The phone usually ships with High set as the default, which means MP4 format. Normal quality means 3GP, so you'll get much more recording time.
Sharing quality is 3GP but is limited in length so that the recorded file is small enough to be sent by MMS - this is an operator requirement. The capture resolution is also lower than High quality, so it won't reproduce as crisply.
Ultimately you have to select the right quality level to suit your needs. Do you want to play back on a pc, or do you want to be able to send the file as an MMS?
On my N70 with 30MB free memory, I can get the following recording times:
High - 8mins 50 secs
Normal - 35mins 13 secs
Sharing - 0mins 35 secs
Hope this helps.
