Root Cinemagram and Video on Triumph

Hello everyone,

I am not 100% sure if anyone is aware of this or not, but I thought it was worth mentioning, at least.

A few days ago, when I learned that the Triumph's rear camera is fully functional, I promptly updated my Triumph to the "20130320" test build of MTDEV's CM9. Shortly after, I downloaded the new Cinemagram for Android app (which I've been anticipating for quite some time). Unfortunately, upon launching the app, I learned that you can't import preexisting video files to make the Cinemagram GIFs -- you must record a new video clip within the app. Now obviously, being a user of CM9 on the Triumph, I am very aware that recording video is not currently available, but I thought I'd give it a shot. To my surprise, I was able to record a short, grainy video clip using Cinemagram.

Now, what I'd like to know is, was this truly a video recording? Or is Cinemagram just a fancy "burst mode," taking dozens of photos in quick succession? I tried to do a little research and locate any temporary image files stored on the phone, but I didn't find any, and the process of "recording" the clip wasn't like any "burst mode" I've come across in the past.

So, can anyone help clear up my confusion? :o

So I tried this app out.I can confirm that it does take video but I'm not sure how it is doing it.But it uploads it directly to their servers and never saves it to the SD card.So this makes me think that the issue we are having with the video is that it won't record cause something is preventing it from saving on the SD card.Ive been running logcats on skype and see everything is working 100% no errors so it can stream video no problem.And with this app I'm going to run a logcat and see what I get.....I got some errors on the Cinemagram logcat.I'll upload my logcats and see what people think.

The OP mentioned it recorded a grainy video clip. Is it just capturing the live preview? And if so, is that any different than actually recording a real video?
 
to me it looks like its taking pictures very fast.but I put up the logcat so if someone can read it they can give better answer.
 
Yeah, unfortunately I have no idea how to read or interpret a logcat, but I am still very curious about this subject so I hope someone cal help out & make sense of it.
 
From what ive read out of the logcat, its using multiple pictures. Kind of like HDR. Uses multiple pictures to get one pic altogether. May be wrong but...this is what i see.

Ah, shucks. Part of me was hoping I'd discovered some sneaky new way to manage video recording on the ol' MT.
