naturally theres a fuzz
some do use the video function, when it functions good.
the phone even offers a VideoDJ option. Its designed to be able to do this at a reasonable quality. I see no reason to suddenly change from usable quality to unusable quality, that makes no sense.

Dont update firmware you say ? now that is a poor argument, firmware is updated to fix other important issues, like crashing and freezing etc. naturally you would want to update your firmware.

@ ripkord

I have used the video on many a nights out, record some funny/strange/insane things. It's always good as the next day you can show people who may have missed out or send it to someone and show them what they did whilst drunk.

For the video to suddenly become lower quality (i.e. slight distances are unviewable) is unacceptable. It's a good feature and used by many people. I don't see any reason to hamper it like that, unless they have increased the compression to be able to get more seconds in per MMS (especially with the 100kb limit on most networks).

There are allready two options in the camera settings, one for mms, which is allready low quality and small file size, and another called High Quality which should be not for mms. It is this high quality settings that has decreased to mms quality, which makes no sense as they are now the same.

cant you just install the old firmware again? or complain until they give you another phone that hasnt been upgraded? Theres only one way out of this by the looks of it and thats by not upgrading, yeah i know the firmware inproves stablility (or is supposed to) but you know what SE is like, looks like you will have to put up with A) unstable buggy? phone with low compression video or B) more stable phone with higher compression video.

Maybe changing the compression was a neccessary fix for the stability issues?

Mine wasnt buggy on the old firmware at all, yet I allways update to the latest to make sure I wont run into the bugs.
Theres no reason why the recording bitrate should have anything to do with the chrashing bugs some experienced. And since there are two selectable quality options, there should be a difference between them, today there is not.

Its simply an error made by S//E in the new firmware, that is easily fixed in a new firmware, if S//E are made aware of the error.

I have sent word about this to the right people, hopefully they will have it fixed in the next firmware

@numb ...

I've looked at your video clips, and totally agree that the quality is very different, but as you say yourself : The first one is recorded with 190 kbit/s, and the second one with 68 kbit/s. Of course we can't expect these two clips to have similar quality.

Did you use the highest quality settings for both size and compression in the camera settings menu for both of your video clips?


Edit: Guess you've just answered my question as I was writing this message
