2.1 Broke My Camcorder?

First post in this forum, I've been researching my problem for the last 2 days now so forgive me if I end up breaking some weird forum rule or something. Anyways.

I was in Sprint paying my bill and I asked them if they knew roughly when flash would be available for droid. I had 2 reps tell me flash was available for the Intercept in the droid 2.1 update. So I went home and did the update, no flash. Liars. Anyways, the camcorder is completely useless now. The video quality is garbage compared to what it used to be. I have the quality set to High (for SD card). This might not be a big deal to some people, but I frequently used my phone's video camera to upload videos to youtube since I don't own a video camera. Video quality is now comparable to that of the original LG Rumor I had about 5 years ago, wth. I thought maybe it was just playback on the phone so I mounted the vids to my pc and converted them to a very high quality AVI and they still look awful. They were awesome before the update. I can't find a camcorder app in the market that fixes this. I can't find a way to go back and flash my phone to the old CL14 update. Am I screwed? Any ideas?

Man! Thank you so much, that's extremely helpful, I looked for that for like 4 hours straight last night. Made my day man, I'll definitely be coming back to this forum. Thanks again.

The 1.5 apk will not work for the 2.1 ROM/Kernels. There however is a "fixed" apk of for the camcorder over at SDX. I came across a thread where as a dev released his fixed apk code so one would not have to install his custom ROM to benefit from the fix.

I am having a similar or maybe related issue.  I have only had my intercept for 2 weeks, and am VERY unfamiliar with how to do anything technical to my phone.  everything is stock.  I don't know what rooted means and am very green with android.  Ok that aside, here is my issue.  when i record a video or take a picture with the phone, I can't see them or replay them.  I find the files in my file manager, there usually is a "!" or something.  The videos say "error playing or cannot play" the pictures just don't show.  I am so frustrated and don't know where to look for answers. 

The pictures that I transferred to the phone with the USB cord all work.  I just think that for what this phone costs and for the platform, I should be able to record a video or take a picture and be able to view and replay them on the phone.

any help or directions would be great, thank you!
