I think the iphones's 720p is fine...

@ndi

that does look a little bit smoother, but maemomatic is right in that you didn't pan

make sure that you realize its a mobile phone we are talking about.

I'll pan tomorrow, it's night time now. However, while panning is likely the worst possible scenario for compression,

a) there's plenty movement and shaking to be a real video
b) before, there's no way it could do that, mine stuttered on still video.
c) one would have thought that by now there would be a USER_NEEDS_THIS global flag that pops when recording, speaking on the phone, taking pictures, etc, during which there is no thumbnailing, tracking, maintenance, or other background tasks of any kind.

Man I'm happy with this. Pan tomorrow, along with image quality test for the DSLR comparison.

"I am experiencing some of the same problems also if I reduce the video resolution, what about you?"

Yes, that's why I think 720p is doable, especially with a bitrate drop. It's not like the image is crystal clear. I'd be flipping Zeiss right now if I didn't have on on my DSLR and it being perfect.

*sigh*

From what I see, there is a great deal of things that would get sorted out...if more of the code was made available.

They don't want to solve the problems, nor let others solve it even though they're willing.

It's quite disturbing.

I'm not sure how it works, but can we simply just ask Nokia for their source code? If many of us were to e-mail them perhaps they would release it?

In my experience the first stutter starts within 10 seconds of the recording.

Its because tracker jumps in and tries to read the video and make a thumbnail of it... if only we could disable tracker during video recording.

encoding is much more cpu intensive than simple decoding

Ah I see. IMO that tracker thing is a huge PITA. Insert a memory card and it starts eating CPU and battery to index the files. I would be more than happy to have it disabled for good Or have it set that it will only index the directories I specify.

This really is no longer a qualifier, especially with other top of the line cell phones capturing video without stuttering and doing so with better quality. The stuttering is a software limitation, I'm sure.
