Recording videos with N95

Hello.
I have recently purchased the Nokia N95 and am having some troubles with audio when recording videos.
When the sound is loud it 'crackles' during playback. This isn't because of the phone's speakers, as the crackling also occurs when I play the videos back via television or when playing the .mp4 files on the computer.
It would seem the problem is occurring when the audio is being recorded. Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity of the microphone that records the audio? If not, where is that microphone located so that I can try covering it to reduce the level of sound reaching the microphone.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The microphone is the same microphone used for voice. The opening hole is next to the charging connector on the bottom of the phone.
One way to improve this is to use the remote. When you have the Remote connected then the microphone in the remote will be used.
If someone would be clever enough they can develop a microphone that can be plugged into the 3.5mm jack of the N95 for better video recording.
640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Record videos with N95 in concerts = Sound distort...

    If i record video in a concert of music with mi N95, the sound recorded is distorted, I think it is problem of low. Is it possible to resolve this for firmware?

    Nothing ou can do about it!
    It's an inbuilt chip that the Record industry insists are put into mobiles and recording devices to ensure you can't bootleg their concerts and so you have to buy their overpriced merchandice. Also it send a message to the local copyright lawers, so expect a nice lettter in the post in a few days...........

  • Record video with built in iSight?

    My friend just got a new MacBook and we can't figure out if you can record video with the built in iSight. I know you can take pictures with Photo Booth, and from my research you can record video with the external iSight through iMovie. I figured you woud be able to do the same with the built in iSight, but when I open iMovie, it does not detect a camera. Can you not record video with the built in iSight or am I doing something wrong?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    When you open iMovie look at the switch under the screen. You will see a camera on the left of the switch and scissors on left. Flip the switch to the camera and the built in camera should come on. Then on the screen it will say record with isight. That starts the record.

  • Software for recording video with built in i-sight for new macbooks mbp?

    Does any software exist that will allow a macbook or a macbook pro user to record video with their built in isight camera at the top of the screen? If so, let me know. I need to document countless hours of reading the forums...

    iMovie will allow you to record from your built in iSight as well.
    Lastly, Conference Recorder will allow you to record iChat video conversations. It can be found here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/conferencerecorder/

  • Problems Recording Video with Photo Booth

    Macbook Details:
    OS X Yosemite
    Version 10.10.2
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
    Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Photo Booth: Version 7.0 (724)
    Some background: It all started going downhill for my laptop when I got a "Service Battery" warning back in December. Thought it could possibly be a glitch from the new OS. In any case, they told me to wait it out till the Full Charge Capacity reaches the 2000s. It's currently at around 4225 and slowly steadily decreasing. I can't keep many applications open at one given time.
    The problem: Built-in camera is working fine with Skype, FaceTime, etc. Photo Booth pictures are fine as well. Simply unable to record any video with PB. It will sometimes record, but during recording, the image freezes. Upon playback, the image is frozen for the entire video, and audio lags or skips around. Today it froze and actually sat frozen all day while I continued to use other applications.
    Is there anything I can do??

    You can't record video with PhotoBooth, you can record video with iMovie, or you can record with Quicktime if you have the Pro version. I would suggest using iMovie, create an MPEG-4 project, record your footage, drag your recorded clips into the timeline, then choose the Share menu and choose Email.
    Baby footage will be on its way to the grandparents in no time!

  • How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

    How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo  and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no  effects is going thru?

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)

  • With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

    Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera.  Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello Triunfo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

I'm 14 years old and i own an iphone and its like i could do more with my lame verizon phone. another thing is u cant record videos... all the money they are putting into the iphone and it can't even do some of the standard camera phone abilities. i'm just suggesting so don't think i'm like ranting about how the iphone ***** because its really cool i love it! not everybody has an iphone so not everybody's email is going to there phone and some times there are pictures id really like to send to my friends like the other day i was riding my bike listening to music and it started pouring then it let up and i saw a rainbow so i pulled out my iPhone and i took pictures and i really wanted to send them to a friend but there email doesn't go directly to there phone.
    and off topic what would be really sweet would is wireless head phones lol like ugh the wires always getting in my way and id really like to just listen to music in school hehe. not like the phone thingy but and actual ear bud thingy like the white apple headphones but cut the wire off and it just sends the audio wirelessly to the head phones

  • Exposure control errors when recording videos with...

    I noticed that when I record videos, the exposure sometimes is not adjusted properly. If lighting conditions change, exposure remains at the same level, and records became over or underexposed. This is especially noticeable outdoors.
    I have a few minutes long sample recording where the recording starts normally, then as light conditions change, (I slowly move from a shady area to a lit area) exposure gradually degrades to a point where most of the recording "burns out" due to extreme overexposure ( about 80% of the picture is white). 
    What confuses me is when I tried to reproduce this problem (albeit it different lighting conditions), exposure control worked pretty good.
    I wonder if these exposure problems are due to a bug, hardware problem or a device limitation.
    Do you have any tips to get better recordings with the phone?

  • No sound when recording videos with iphone 4s - ios7

    Since I have downloaded ios7 to my iphone 4s I am no longer getting any sounds when recording videos. When looking back at past videos I have recorded, they still have sound in the playback. I have tried resetting my phone and reseting it to factory settings. Any recommendations?

    Hey Bryan3939!

  • Shooting stills while recording video with the SX50

    Has anyone done this?  I was shooting some video yesterday and was happy with how it came out until I realized that pressing the shutter button while recording video actually caused the video to insert a black frame and included the shutter sound.  What is this?
    My Kodak Z990 was able to do this same function (take pictures during videos) and even though some of them would turn out a bit blurrier than I would have liked, it never insert a black frame and sure didn't stick the shutter sound in there.  Did Canon do this on purpose?  I'm going to have to try and pull this video into some video editor to remove the frame and sound and hope it works.
    Lesson learned, I guess.  I'll take pictures and video separately from now on, just in case, but it's unfortunate that Canon screwed up badly on this feature.

    Charleyhorse,
    The items you mentioned need to be set before you start the video. Once the G16 is running the video, you cannot make adjustments to white balance, ISO, etc. The people I deal with all run the video for their G16's in Auto mode and let the camera make the decisions. But like myself, they don't use video very often, so hopefully someone with video experience on the G16 can give some better insight.

  • How to record video with a watermark logo in Adobe AIR app?

    I would like to develop an app in Adobe AIR. The requirement is that video recording with a custom watermark logo on top left. Anyone have any idea, how to record a video with custom watermark?
    Please suggest some code or any reference, it would be helpful for all who is looking video recording.
    Thanks!

    Yeah I'm developing video recording ANE. It allows you to record the whole AIR stage, including anything you've got there (video, movieclips on top, Stage3D or whatever): http://rainbowcreatures.com/product_flashywrappers.php
    There's an online demo for Flash Player on the website,beven it's not as good as the AIR ones because Flash Player encoder is really slow by not being able to use native code or HW acceleration. But it shows the layering on top of video.
    If you want to make something like this yourself, you'd need to go the native extensions route.

  • Record video with FMS, but distribute progressive - with HTTP

    My application is going to serve around 200K simultanios
    users. I can spend some money on FMS for the purpose of recording
    video using Flash only (I mean w/o additional SW on the client).
    But when it comes to serving the video, the cost of FMS is beyond
    what I can afford. Therefore, I was thinking to use FlashPlayer/FMS
    to record Audio/Video using the built-in Camera class in the Flash
    Player and move the encoded file that's been store on FMS, to an
    HTTP server. My viewers will play, in their Flash Player, simple
    progressive video off of HTTP server (instead of streaming video
    off of FMS).
    Is it doable? What server-side SW is required to move the
    recorded video to another HTTP server?
    Any piece of info would be appreciated.

    When you open iMovie look at the switch under the screen. You will see a camera on the left of the switch and scissors on left. Flip the switch to the camera and the built in camera should come on. Then on the screen it will say record with isight. That starts the record.

  • [AS3] AS3 record video with webcam & save?

    Dear all,
    I noticed that AS3 is able to take a snapshot out from a webcam & save it as a .jpg but is AS3 capable of recording a video with a webcam and save it to a local disk/network server? any video format is fine with me as long it can be played with window media player...
    -Zainu

    Hi dmennenoh - did you check the web version  only? Sorry didn't see your earlier post.
    The video encoding quality is x2 smaller there on purpose to achieve quick encoding in web Flash Player. So when encoding 800x600, it encodes at 400x300. This scaling can be set to any value though. The web version is really agressive to keep realtime encoding in Flash possible. You've got to realize that there is an entire video encoder almost in AS3 (more precisely its AVM2 bytecode which is more optimized than normal AS3 but executed by the same virtual machine as other Flash scripts). Even simple jpeg encoders in AS3 had problems with speed and had to be rewritten to Alchemy...so imagine how video encoder does in terms of performing.
    That's not the case of AIR extension though (which also my lib includes). The FlashyWrappers AIR extension is provided as ANE compiled into native code. So recording there is at full resolution(1:1) and much faster even.
    Naturally FMS / Flash webcam solution (if you're looking for webcam recording only) would be better using normal Flash Players libs, because they are calling native code, like my ANE, so therefore they are faster and can afford to record at higher resolutions etc. The reason I created the Flash plugin wasn't to be better than FMS but provide a video encoder which can be used to do anything, not only recording webcam. For example to capture Flash stage if you need to capture workflow/animation/gameplay in Flash game or feed it custom bitmaps etc. You can't do that with Flash / FMS, or even in AIR.
    As for the earlier question you asked about Canon camera API, not familiar with their API's, but sure, in theory it would be possible to create an ANE for that and send the images to Flash. Not sure why you're having crashes...if you're interested let me know at [email protected], I can take a look.
