[myTouch 4G Android Development] sleepyfu:
Inspired by this, this, this thread, as well as my own frame drops during recording.

Most agreed that the class of the sdcard did not effect the frame drops.

Not sure if anyone has tried this yet:

/system/etc/media_profiles.xml

Music in this vid is from the Pandora app running in the back ground, White balance = incandescent

Lighting was pretty low, and I did not touch the screen for it refocus while shooting.

YouTube's video info log showed every little frame drop compared to other vids I saw, my original 4000000 setting had even less. So maybe I will settle for 4400000?

This is the profile I used. per usual, YMMV. I haveStock ROM on diet/ stock Kernel/class2,8gb sdcard/32mb VM heap

I don't know what the quality 90/80/70 and the memCap do, if you know, please help.
