Actual 3GS video quality

[MattZani]

How do you get videos off of the phone and onto a Mac? iTunes?

iPhoto.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Any way of importing the iphone videos into imovie to edit that way?

 

[glassjaw420]

here is a file to see the actual quality of the video

Hey man. Looks like you have sticky status. If you have the time and are kind, you should edit your 1st post and start including the links of all the video submissions. Thanks.

Just uploaded a video. Quality might improve when it's fully processed:

billchase how did u get the 3G S⃣ symbol?

I just copied/pasted it from other threads like you did. I'm not sure of the keyboard shortcut. I believe it's a Mac-only thing though.

 

[MattZani]

Import the video through iPhoto like you would a photo.

Here's some video I took with my 3G S, uploaded via my PC, not through the YouTube iPhone app.

Yours is available in high quality, but mine isn't. I'm wondering if it's because I uploaded directly from the phone. Maybe HQ will pop up on mine soon.

I got my 3GS this morning at 9:30. This is a test video which was uploaded to youtube with the phone...

The fur coloring on that cat is AWESOME!!

Agreed! Beautiful cat there!

So now that people have the iPhone 3G S⃣, can you tell me this: how much of video can you record on the iPhone before having to upload to a computer? How much more of video can you record if you go from 16 GB to 32 GB?

The only reason I'd go for the 32 GB is if I can record substantially more video on it (right now I have a 4 GB original iPhone, and I never felt any constraint on space, so video withstanding, 16 GB is more than plenty for me)

YouTube Video Comparison via Direct File or YouTube Upload Button

I uploaded a video twice that I shot on my iphone 3G S. I thought I would do a comparison of the quality sent to youtube via the youtube upload button and taken directly off the iphone and uploaded to youtube from my PC.

Video Sent from iphone via youtube button
iphone recompresses video with lower bitrate and resamples to 480x360 resulting in a 3.5mb file
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w4MpVCWPf0

Video taken from the iphone via "Scanner and Cameras" on PC
Video size is 640x480 and file size is 64.7mb
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttfb29SXECM

Once it ends up on youtube, the quality is pretty much the same even though the 640x480 version displays the HQ button. There is a small problem with jaggies though when using the 640x480 version so maybe using the YouTube upload button on the iphone might be better is some cases.

If you compare the video at 1:37 when it is changing adjusting the exposure it does not have as many artifacts in the compression in the larger file.

When playing back on your computer, the 640x480 file is much better of course and the file size is almost 20x as large.

Thank you! He's just turned 1 and eats for England...

Yours is available in high quality, but mine isn't. I'm wondering if it's because I uploaded directly from the phone. Maybe HQ will pop up on mine soon.

Mine was low quality to start with, then it was available in HQ. Might still be processing.

Hell, your dog is old.

He sure is - he's 16 I think, just about still going!

 

[JamesGorman]

You have a Westie!!! We have two of them. Never had dogs before but my wife convinced me. I would say they are the iPhone of dogs. They come in two colours ( well the Scottie is related to the westie)black and white, they pack a punch, are robust and very faithful.

On the video how do you upload to MobileMe?? Any examples of video from mm rather than YouTube?

So 10 hrs video is 10gig. I'm thinking about one for our uk holiday.

 

[gzillaration]

so anyone figure out geotagging?

it says it right on http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html on the right that is supported.

also i really hope they fix the resolution and stuff, its too skinny, and nobody i know uses iphone to take horizontal pics or videos, wouldnt get a steady grip at all

 

[BrownManUPS]

Selling my iPhone, and so I took a video from the White iPhone 3GS I got today!

Note: YT takes a while to process...so video seems poor. Should use a different service maybe...

Here's a test of me driving and accidentally running a stop sign:

Video clip with music request

This short clip was taken by the Hudson River (across from the Empire State Building.) Moonroof was open but FM music was on at request.

Uploaded same clip to Facebook, maybe a tad better but it looks/sounds pretty good.

One thing I noticed was I could not run the iPod and the movie camera at the same time. I think it may demand too much memory. May try it again.

This was done from inside the car so the music could be evaluated better.

I made a 3-4 minute short film with the iPhone 3GS today. The workflow wasn't all that bad with iMovie, and the quality isn't bad. Its all low light too.
