XDA2s Camcorder Software??

[sergeantash]

Hi guys,

I currently have a Nokia 6600, from the factory its video recording software is naff, however I simply downloaded some new software that upgraded its recording time etc.

I have an XDA 2s arriving tomorrow, just wondering if there's anything out there that'll allow 30fps recording, or better resolution etc? or even lower resolution with higher frame rate?

Many thanks!

resolution and fps are hardware desided by the chip

at times you can lower the resolution and get better fps
that repend on how the chip handle refresh

nothing can give a true larger resolution then what the chip support

all phones (i know off) use cmos cam chips and i've never seen any results from any of those which would quality as anything your topic name would imply
colours are never as good as ccd
fps are never as good as ccd
image stability is never as good as ccd

ccd is what real digi cams use
they use lots more power then cmos which is why they are being used
and they cost much less to make

rudegar, Youre right on the resolution, but afaik the framerate is not completely chip dependent. Where the chip limits possibilities, the cpu does too. Quality is the result of (next to colour etc) resolution & framerate. in other words: Data-troughput & data compression.

Given the limitations of the chip & cpu I can imagine to get ie. a higher framerate using a lower resolution.

Thanks for your replies, I did guess that the resolution was chip/cmos dependent - but as other chap says, the framerate is down to the capture software, which is why I'm wondering whether someone has tweaked this yet? even to squeeze 25fps?

Is this something anyone could try with the manufacturers software, or is it not available as open release yet?

One other performance limiter to consider is the speed of the storage medium being written to... and SD is quite slow in the general scheme of things.
