I've just recorded this sample test video with the "new" recording quality of the PR1.1 firmware update.
I've uploaded it to flickr.com, have a look here:
I'll upload it to some file hosting online service so that you can easily download it in the original recording quality.
My opinion? Nothing (or too few things) has been done in improving the quality of recording, there are still lots of frame drops.
Let me know what do you think about it.
EDIT: Here's the link for downloading the original recorded file:
It's too bad, was hoping I could use my N900 to take quick vids for youtube. Guess I will still have to walk around with my regular digicam...
Yes indeed. I was a bit to quick with my judgement.
Very strange, my viewty did even better (although on a lower resolution).
It's a bit dissapointing.
Where did you see any mention of "new" recording quality in the changelog?
There's no mention of improvements made in recording in the changelog, I was referring to what Dr. Drips had said before my post (less frame drops, while they are still there).
With the latest Maemo software (2.2009.51-1.002), I can still see dripped video frames when recording. Anyone else see this problem?
It has been like this from day one, the firmware updates have not fixed it. I have seen some annoying frame drops as well, would not recommend the phone for decent video atm.
