I dont get the last sentence really. Its about time we implement movie pausing,you said it is possible in the other thread. I wonder if it also is possible to start and stop the video through that adress,did you make tests regarding this,ewavr? By the way thanks for all the work you are doing for the project,i'm really glad you dont try to make any money out of all of this ;)
Ps for those who r wonderin what a moviepause function would do any good: a paused video will start recording much faster again after unpausing than a 'fresh start'. At least in theory!

Here's one single patch with all three (SDHC, movie_rec and touch_wheel).

I wrote about this on some other thread - possible (simply change movie_status variable between 1 and 4), but you may throw out sound in this video to trashcan :(

mil22,

now i did some testing with the video compression settings...

The Quality setting is working fine, also changing it while recording a video - when the data rate get's to high for the card the big red ! appears...

The Bitrate setting seems to be not working well, with all settings the video is extremly bad
(with big blocks like an old pacman game), changing the value has no response at all...
I've compared  this to my old Ixus 50 (SD400), there the bitrate setting is working as expected,
in the same manner as the quality setting, the lowest bitrate setting 0.25 is even times better than on the SD870.

But im happy anyway, the well working quality setting is enough for me  :)

But now the good message: the touch wheel issue is definitively SOLVED, no errors found, navigation with the wheel buttons in all modes now is a fun !

can you say which "movie_status" adress exactly is the one for the sd870?
the video pause function is confirmed, works like a charm.
so i am now able to write script functions like movie_pause and movie_resume or something like that. movie_stop also works, but unfortunately movie_start does not work, this still has to be done via emulated button presses (or do you know a way ewavr!?). the audio is crazy after a pause/resume. maybe there also is a audio_pause function. by the way ewavr can you add the mute_function to more cameras, like s3is as well? we could mute videos via script this way, also maybe i will finally find a way muting the video when i take a photo (so it doesnt record the loud clicking noise anymore, like the zoommotor on the a-series).
thanks a bunch!

thanks for the patch mil22, it works now :D

actually i am a little embarrassed, the movie_status adress has always been in the trunk already. i always figured that it was not possible without movie_rec. funny :D

anyhow, patch is in trunk now and should soon be autobuilt.

maybe needs a bit ironing out though, regarding video_quality/bitrate?
please report any bugs.
by the way, do any other cams have this touchwheel and/or this bug with the OSD?

PhyrePhoX,
as i know the SD750 has this issue, too...

ohh, nice - the SD870 things are in the trunk now, i'll test the video bitrate at least on my lunch break...

THX 2 all of you !

Thanks for correcting the video table ewavr, that definitely should be what was up with the video bitrate!
