No.. they are same.. no additional encoding to mp4 file.
h.264 file is just for debugging.
HI 1stTimeFlyer
I have the android version 5.1 and it does not work, and nobody has a solution for this problem shame for this beautiful software.
Congratulations for the good work @bluejune I managed to get 13 minutes and 30 seconds out of Tello while filming today until it reached 10% power and landed. I got to at most 11 minutes with the standard app, in the same conditions (slow mode, no propeller guards, very low wind 15 kmph while walking in the park). Here is the video proof
1) Face tracking seems to work only at very small distance, such as 2 meters from me. Can this be adjustable? For example to record a someone riding a bicycle, a distance of around 5 meters in front of me and 5 meters high would focus on the subject better. Also the when I move sideways even 1 step, the drone moves too fast and too much sideways losing me from the focus, is this tracking speed also adjustable somewhere?
2) What are some of possible negative consequences if I select 4 Mbps for video instead of auto, considering that I have a powerful phone huawei p20 pro and a wifi repeater? Does the drone lose connection if this video quality setting is set to the max?
3) Can I lower the alarming noise made by app when it reaches 10% battery? It literally scared the children around me
) and It didn't seem to be lowered by setting Media sound on the phone. I had to press land and exit the app to stop the alarming sound.

I had to press land and exit the app to stop the alarming sound.I did a few tests with saving h.264 format, which seems to be recognized by youtube, and a 30 seconds file was 10 Mb larger than the mp4 variant of a 30 second video recording, facing the same scene, shot a minute later. To me it seems that h.264 holds more data, or maybe it is not compressed.
Hi, did you read the "CamFlyer" post in this thread ? (few previous pages from here) he gave ffmpeg script for h.264 conversion. He write the video result are very good. I didn't test it yet but it seems very interesting.

I'm suspecting that it's not working with Android 5.1, my tablets running Android 7 and 7.1.1 has no problem whatsoever. @bluejune can you kindly look into it? Thank you.
Hi, you have to go in the settings, check face detection library and put on the video processing option. Then the face detection icon will appear.
@bluejune would be possible to add the face detection requirements in the wiki ?

Icon for Video and Pictures:
Is it just me, or do other have the same "Problem" that you Think the Video/Pictures Icon should be Changed?
Because if you
see the Video Icon it will shoot a Foto.
If you
see the Camera Icon it will Record Video.
For me myself its inverted. If I see the Video Icon it should Record Video.
I have Today installed the gamesir ts1 Controller, it Works pretty well. (Thanks @spamaro )
But I miss 2 Things:
1. VR mode
It would be cool to Fly FPV with Googles !!!
2. I would like to Change the Option of the Buttons on the gamesir manually.
As Example I would like to set the L1 Button in a way that the tello Fly to the Left. Pressing R1 and it should Fly to the right.
I remember the old car Chase Games, where the L1 and R1 Buttons in the Controller meant to be drifting siteways.
So in that Way it becomes more like a Game feeling.
I recorded Today Videos again, and they are not Smooth. The EIS is missing (Electronic Image Stabilisation). Its verry shaky.

With this app I recommend the Parrot Flypad. It's much smoother in stick inputs. The T1d is very quick/jumpy.
you can see this on the stick trim mapping. The Ps3 is also very smooth. I got it to work once via otg. It won't work if there is a BT controller saved in the app. I can't figure out how to remove the BT.
it worked after updating the app. I suppose I could reinstall the app and see. If so a cheap $9 clone controller could be used.

Hi,
For the controller, i think the best way for your need (and mine ) would to have controller configuration interface like "Picasim" App (flight sim). It allows to assign all the button/stick app with controller event you want from your controller (you make the mapping you choose, and it is compatible with gamepad and RC controller).
