This seems to be the answer - doing this combined with closing apps like web and email made video recording glitches virtually disappear for me. Maybe a few spots at the star of the recording, but then smooth sailing.

It's not really a solution, a workaround at best.... First of all it doesn't remove all glitches, and second, most kodak-moments are long past by the time I have closed all processes, switched the phone to offline mode (as was suggested earlier), and set the cpu to 1ghz. Obviously restarting the phone and defragmenting the memory is out of the question altogether.
As for which memory to use, some people report the best results on the mmc, others the internal memory.
I have e-mail discussion software engineers inside Nokia. Hopefully they take this bug reconsideration.
"OMAP3430's IVA 2+ supports MPEG-4 and H.264 encode/decode of 30 fps video at 720x480, and WMV9 decode at the same resolution and framerate. OMAP3430 can drive displays up to WXGA (1280x800) resolution at 24-bits"
So they must get this to work! Luckily they have responded positively to the my mail . Future can only tell.. I tell you guys more.. when i get some info.
has anyone found here how to pause video recording on n900?why nokia did so, there is no option to pause the video recording in the new PR1.3 too???any alternetive way to pause i must need it!!!!!!
As IXXE said, using "cpufrequi" with "userspace" set works for me too. No frames dropped anymore. I'm running at 800MHz but works fine at normal speed too.
Thanks for this.
Lets hope somebody will offers us a decent video capture tool. The harware is waiting for it ...
Bye
If it's any help i would like to mention the sony ericsson vivaz pro that is something like the n900 but with A LOT LESS STORAGE SPACE ON BOARD. Same 5mgpx(thou i don't know about the lens), same cpu/gpu, n900 has more virtual RAM, the biggest difference is that the Vivaz is stoped at ~720mhz clock, where the n900 is somewhere near 1ghz. And may i suggest using some lines from Vivaz pros video recorder
i change my active frequencies to 900:56,600, and then:
Code:
root
kernel-config lock 900
Then save the video on emmc.. smooth .. When you stop recordin. do not forget to:
Code:
root
kernel-config unlock
Can some "god like man" (maybe cssu??) add this to the videorecorder software? When you start recording it will lock mhz and when you stop, it will unlock. Normal videorecord software is use 500mhz maybe turn it sometimes even on the 256mhz.. this is why it lags.. This working also, if you lock it to 600mhz, but not so good as cpu800-900mhz and DSP 600mhz.
