maybe it would be required to run a less hogging OS to produce video without frameskipping. it would be nice to have a dualboot OS with no background tasks thats explicitly focus on the task perfomed atm.

like a Media OS with no phone features at all - which instead would include playback / recording softwares for media and camera.


btw... omnia hd actually didnt record buttersmooth 720p... i think it "averaged" at around 20fps, and there was apparent frameskipping. also sound quality was something extremely low. maybe 8khz or something like that.

alright... there may be something that ive been missing here, but i know for sure that ive seen very old digital cameras handle super high quality MJPEG recording realtime in 640x480 30fps (much higher quality than N900's 800x480... not related to the lens/cmos sensor, but software - with that i mean typical encoding artefacts like blockiness and sacrificing less details)

i hope that the DSP can provide the required horsepower to enable this.
