Video recording Blackberry 8900 resolution

Recently bought an 8900 curve as an upgrade to my contract and it says on the Blackberry website that the 8900 curve records video at 480x352 resolution. Looking in the options on video recorder the most I can set it to is 240x180. I have noticed that the videos recorded are .3gp format. Is it possible to record at the higher resolution on this device? It's part of the reason why I went for it in the first place.

I would also like a response from RIM regarding this issue. Pre-release models of the Curve 8900 had a camera capable of at least 320 x 240 resolution video capture, but the official release models are limited to 240 x 180. Why?

How can I get Video Recording! on my Blackberry curve 8320 ???????????? HELP PLEASSEEEEE

Hi, Im a bet stressed out i just got the blackberry Curve 8320 from Tmobile and realized it has no Video recording however the person that sold it to me says they downloaded a program like a converter or something and they used to have video recording on it. Can you please tell me how i can get video recording on mine Please. Thank you.

to use video you need an upgrade. The name is handheld device software OS. I believe you have 4.2. 4.5 is required.
You have to wait for TMobile to release the 4.5 OS.

My Blackberry Curve 8310 has no video recorder on it

I there a way to upgrade my phone so I can have a capable video recorder to record videos?

That's odd... I have AT&T and a Curve 8310; it has both a video and audio recorder built into it. I could not access my video recorder until I bought and inserted a microSD card into the Curve. The video camera's recordings take up a lot of memory compared to the camera, and if you don't have a memory card installed, this could be your problem.
If you do have a memory card with space on it, it's possible that the video recorder icon was accidentally hidden from view on the Home screen. While in the Home screen, press the Menu button (to the left of the trackball) and make sure "Show All" is checked. This will show you all icons, even the hidden ones; see if you can find the video camera icon among your list of icons.
FYI - You can also access the video recorder through the "Camera" icon. Click on the Camera icon, then once the screen switches to camera viewfinder, click on the Menu button (left of the trackball) and select "Video camera." This will then give you recording access to the video feature if your device has memory.

Does the video recorder on ipad 4 have a zoom button? If not, what app do you recommend for zooming in video?

Do I need an app to zoom with the video recorder?

Fraser41,
school work, watching YouTube videos, and listening to music can be done on any MacBook Pro, new or used. Photo editing is the most demanding task on your list (unless you take up video editing, in which case it would be the most demanding); you can edit photos (and even videos) on MacBook Pros without discrete GPUs, but many operations will be done more quickly on MacBook Pros with a discrete GPU than on those with only an integrated GPU. If photography is your main interest, that could point to a Retina screen as a feature which might be high on your list of preferences; but since all Retina models have soldered-in RAM, however much RAM is present a Retina model is the amount which you’ll need to live with for as long as you own it. The Late 2013 models also have SSDs for which no third-party alternative is available, so at the moment their SSDs can be considered non-upgradeable also. Whether the cheaper MacBook Pro will cope with your needs could depend upon how much screen resolution you’d be satisfied with, and where you find yourself on the GPU time-saved vs. money-spent continuum.
Note that the last 17-inch models made were Late 2011 models; if you’re not interested in used MacBook Pros, then their heaviness would be a moot point.

IPod Touch Video Recording

I was just wondering if anyone here knew about how to or if there is video recording for the iPod Touch. I'm talking about recording the actual screen of the iPod. I know there are ways to do it with a jail broken iPod touch, but jail breaking messed up my last iPod so I really don't want a repeat of that. Does Apple have any software downloads or apps out that can do this? I know that you can take a picture of your screen, so video recording would just be the next step up. If they don't have anything for it, I was also wondering if anyone knows if they are researching on how to do this or are waiting for a new release of the iPod touch to test it out. Thank you in advance.

I did take the video with the back camera. I emailed the video as an attachment and downloaded it. Under the file’s properties, the video image resolution is listed as 320x568. Is it possible that the either the camera or mail application compress the frame size?

Video Recording.

Hi all,
I am programming a part of recording video from the integrated camera.
The following is the code:
try {
Player p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
p.realize();
RecordControl rc = (RecordControl)p.getControl("RecordControl");
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rc.setRecordStream(output);
rc.startRecord();
p.start();
Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);
rc.commit();
p.close();
byte[]data=output.toByteArray(); //GET BYTE ARRAY.
============================
try
fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file:///E:/Video/"+"newVideo.mp4" ); fc.create();
os = fc.openOutputStream();
os.write(data);
os.close();
fc.close();
catch (IOException e)
=====================
I have tried and I works on my hand phone (N95). However the problem is that:
_ I dont know how to show video while recording
_I just simply create a mp4 video from byte[] variable, not sure it is correct or not. And the video resolution is very low (about 120*120).*
The video quality is very poor while recording video using Nokia program the quality is much better.
SO any one can help me? THanks in advance.

Btw, I continue..
In this link: http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:bTylDUTfWBcJ:mobilezoo.biz/nokia_N95_specs+video+record+n95+j2me&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=8&gl=sg
It says that N95 can encode video in 3 formats: mp4, 3gpp2,gpp. I wonder how? I just can record and output is byte[] data, after that I just create a mp4 file.
I wonder how to encode in different format and what is benefit of doing so?

Help Blackberry 8900 issues

Hi i have a Blackberry 8900 from Orange in the UK.
The device is running version 5 software. The phone is constantly crashing blank white screen when i am browsing the net or even sometimes when i try to make a call. Other times it just crashes for no reason and i have to pull the battery to restart it. Sometimes on restart the blank white screen is still there and have to reset phone again by pulling the battery. I have been onto Orange for the past 2 weeks now and they have sent me 4 different phones, yes 4 different phones and also a new sim card the other day but every phone i have recived is doing the exact same thing. I am also having problems making phone calls from device. When the handsets do let me make a call i get lots of crackling and intereference. Orange cannot send me a different model of phone as it is a business phone paid for by my work.
I also tried reloading the software on 1 device they sent but i had no luck doing it and kept getting JVM error as i was reloading the software.
I am at my witts end now can anyone help??

Ok.
I'll post something you might try for the Media Card below.
Meanwhile, you should consider upgrading the OS on the device to latest official release of the operating system for the 8900.... 5.0.0.822
Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=06997F04A7DB92466A2BAA6EBC8B872D
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
Read this on how fix the Media Card (courtesy of John Clark, another expert here in the Forum):
1. Removed the Media Card from the device and put in a card reader. This makes the rest of the process much quicker. However, you can do it with the card in the device.
2. Copy the entire contents of the card to your PC.
3. Put the card back in the device and go to Options >Media Card >Menu key >Format Card. This will wipe the card and reformat it. (if using a card reader remove the card and put it back in the reader.)
4. Now copy back JUST the media to the device. Do NOT copy back any "BBthumbs.dat" files or any system files. I went through the entire folder and deleted every .dat file before copying the contents of the music folder and pictures folders back to the device. The device will recreate these files. Also, I didn't copy the actual "music" folder but rather just copied the contents and pasted in the card's \Blackberry\music folder. Do this for each folder.
5. When finished put the card back in the device and try the Media App again. It should scan for music. If you have lots of music it can take 5-10 minutes. During scanning you can open the Music app and you should be able to see the songs moving around in the list as the device scans
If after transferring all your files back you still get a stuck scanning bar or device reboots then you have a conflicting file on the card. I've seen video files do this but it could be a music file too or (less likely) a picture file. Remove all the files you transferred and see if the reboots stop. Then add back each folder one at a time to see if you can narrow down to the folder that's causing it. Once you find the folder then you can narrow down to a particular file.

No Audio on Videos Recorded with OS 2

Hello After a few days with the version 2 I just realized that when I transfer the videos I recorded with my PB to my MAC, the videos dosen´t have audio.
All the videos recorded with the OLD PB version does have audio.
I have PB 2.0.0.7971 and Mac OSX 10.7.3
Thank you.
PS. All videos work great on PB.

No, I imported by two different ways:
1.- Direct from PB as USB.
2.- Importing media from BlackBerry Desktop Software.
In both cases same result no audio in videos recorded with PB 2.0

IPhone 4 video recording

Wondering why whenever i transfer videos that ive recording on my iphone 4 back to iphoto the resolution is vertically oriented - as in I can't make by video fill the screen, its just a tall, thin, vertical column of video. I suspect it has to do with the resolution the video was recorded in (720x1280) and my monitor's resolution 1440 x 900. Yes? If you are using a macbook pro are there any options or workarounds for this?

ahh.. stupid me. leave it to apple to make the solution maddeningly simple. you want 16:9 video - record in landscape mode. duh!
Neither here nor there but i would LOVE a phyiscal button camera trigger. Loved it on Camera+ until they disabled it.

Video recording volume too low on BB Z10

The volume on the video recording is too low , also tried to increase the volume from the enhancement option of the video but it did not help much , the voice recording done via reminder is loud and clear , but its only during the video recording the volume is too low , even if recorded in a small closed room,barely can hear my self or anyone else talking .
is it a software issue , My handset is still under warranty , should i return it ?

i think its a general issue with all BB Z10 ST 100-1 , hope we get a reply or some update from Blackberry team
The Z10 is a great device with many new features but its strange that a basic built in video recording can not record the voice clearly , now for any event i have stopped using Z10 for the camera and videos as the voice is not clear and we have no option to reduce the image and video size which makes it impossible to share the even an one minute video from the phone using bbm or whats app due the large size of the file.
i am not comfortable carrying two devices one for phone and one for videos ,
Hope these are all software related issues which would be sorted out in the next update

Q10 Video Recorder

When I switch from my Camera to Video Recorder, it starts recording a video right away. It does not go to the screen to allow you to turn the video recorder on and off, or change the settings. Any thoughts?

nope, its part of 10.3 operating system and cant be changed. unless there are enough complaints that they add the fearures to a later update but dont hold your breath.
only thing you can do at the moment is roll back to 10.2
i was one of the first to report the corrupted nightmare which is 1565.
totally messed up my Q10 and in the end it was risking my life saving job for 4 minute responce in hospital so i stupidly bought a passport for full price out of my own money.
dont get me wrong the passport is a great phone and i like a real keyboard so very limited on what to buy.
Q10 updated to 1779 OS but my ringtone is still low and still only 2 second callender alarm. there has been 2 more OS updates since but im still waiting as vodafone in the uk has still not pushed them out.
i cant connect to computer as last time i was connected remotely to blackberry support they loaded the link software and couldnt get it to work and in the end they even said the software was corrupt and they loaded it.
think only option i have now is to do a security wipe and hope it fixes at least some of it.
reports though that a couple of people were waiting 40 hours for a wip to finish.
oh the joys of technology.

Record Level Adjust for Audio in Voice Memo or Video Recorder

I would like to request that Apple allow me to adjust the record audio volume level when recording in Voice Memo or Video Recorder modes. Often I find that the audio is distorting and most times I cannot step back far enough to avoid distortion levels. While I love the ability to SEE the audio level in Voice Memo mode, I am hoping that it is only a matter of firmware upgrade to be able to ADJUST the record level.
Also, if it is possible, it would be great to see some indication of audio level when recording video... something simple like a bar graph with green, yellow and red bars with the highest level reached sticking for a few seconds so that I can tell what the level is.
An alternate solution (if none of the above is possible in a firmware update) would be to automatically adjust the recording level to prevent audio distortion.
Thanks for the great iPod and here's hoping for a great firmware update in the near future!

Thanks, I've submitted my recommendation to Apple.

Hi,,does the new 2011 imac 27 inch U.S version support any pal signal inputs as video or hdmi through the video recorder device or kanex xd ?
