    Treo 600 Video Recording PossiblePosted By: Ryan on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 11:05:21 AM
A Palm OS programmer has released a very early version of a developing Treo 600 Movie recording application.
The application can record a 5 second 160x120 uncompressed video clip to the Treo's internal memory. It does not capture sound and is limited to only recording one video to internal memory. You can only play back the video onboard the device at the moment. The software shows promise as it can capture video at a very high frame-rates, but is limited to 10fps due to memory constraints in the early version. The developer is working on enhancing the application to allow saving of the movie clips, exporting clips and compression. The app requires over 3MB of free memory and has a number of bugs you should be aware of before testing it out. More details and a download can be found here.

Why did people buy the Video recorder/Monitor toy which used Audio Cassette tapes?? Because they could! Why did people buy the Flowbee?? Because they could! Why would people want a crappy video recorder?? Because they can! :) RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
Any other Smartphones with video capabilities?! Nokia 3650, 6600 (and maybe more Nokia's) I think there are a few Samsung phones that do video, as well. Many current phones have video or at least limited/short video capabilities. RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
"Why would anyone want a crappy video recorder?" Well, given that Panasonic has been selling the heck out of its straight-to-SD mini-camcorders, I think there's a large number of folks who want this. Besides, if I can add this functionality without increasing the bulk of what I already carry, why not? RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
now hang on a tick, can someone tell me why someone would make video recording software for the treo 600?...i thought it didn't have video recording capabilities...are they trying to say that it can?! RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improvingtravishill @ 3/10/2004 3:53:48 PM #
The hardware does have the capabillity, until now, there has not been software to use this capability. That is why other material and reviews state that the Treo 600 has not been capable of video recording. RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improvingKonstantin @ 3/10/2004 4:08:40 PM #
" ray00pal @ 3/10/2004 12:57:30 PM Why would anyone need a crapy moving recorder? What motivates people to write this kind of garbage? RE: Whoa, Treo 600 still improving
Does this mean a future version of the software will be able to use the sound capabilities and save streaming video to a memory card? unlimited length movies with sound on a handheld? wow. would this mean that people would be able to mail each other videos?

I seriously doubt that until PalmOne finally releases the voice recording API to do this...

in the following thread! ;)
Btw, the lost camera driver error was pretty freaky when I first experienced it, but luckily only need to do a soft reset, NOT A HARD reset, to fix it! :) :p --------------------
Maybe possible with the zire71?
Hey, Could it be possible? Used to be visoredgeman then visorprismman, now zire71man! RE: Maybe possible with the zire71?
This is great news.
As we know.. this forum is mostly for Sony Clie lovers. But the Treo 600 is hands down the best unit made to date.
