Hi,
what would be a hack to get the camera software to record in a 640x480 resolution on a HTC phone (mine is an Ahtena). I know the framerate would be low. It seems the drivers put a limitation to the CIF resolution, no registration trick can bypass that. does someone has a clue of what file should be hacked to change the resolution ? I'm pretty sure our devices can handle that resolution at a 12 fps rate.

If you use CoolCamera this *might* be possible, but even 320x240 is very slow, so don't expect good results...

Hello,
coolcamera is not compatible at all with the Athena.

I guess there's no TV-out... What a shame
Any one know the video recording frames per second and resolution?
really hope its not 25FPS & res not 300x200
I've read somewhere that the video recording resolution is 640X480 at 30fps, but I cant find the article again to prove it :s
Hi,
Just wondering which ones of the available video compressions on the TD2 will give me the best result in terms of image quality (file volumes do not matter), when shooting in CIF (352x288).
By the way, could it be possible to bypass the limitation on VGA (640x480) regarding H263 and H264?
Indeed, VGA resolution is only permitted when MPEG4 compression is used.
Cheers.

if you got CIF problems then i reccommend you go see a doctor! lol

Can someone please reply to this rather than making fun......
I am also interested to know the same....
Mpeg4 give a little bit better picture quality then h26x

Since Mpeg4 is available only in VGA resolution, i m assuming following is d order of Image quality
VGA Mpeg4 > CIF H2.64 > CIF H 2.64

The iPhone 4 does the same,i wonder what is the reason for that...

i read about the iphone doing the same but i have no clue
ya read that too on gsmarena.. hope they fix it by release time.
It isn't a really terrible issue,but i can't help but keep wondering what's the reason for that zoom.
It wasn't solved on iphone 4 so i guess there's a "deep and technical" reason beyond that.
Maybe the 1080p doesn't divide well into the 8 megapixel camera for easy conversion, so they make the viewable area slightly smaller so it is a nice multiple of the 1080p, because the processor can't handle the load otherwise. Shot in the dark.
Could it be that you can't display a full 1920x1080 video in a 800x480 screen?

i doubt it because you cannot display full 720p either ie 1280x720 but it doesnt crop/zoom that image when you video record..

No it doesnt. Double tap your screen and it zooms out.

Naturally it is so and also logical !
How should a 800 x 480 pixel screen show full resolution of 1080 p ? It is not possible physically. Only via HML on the TV-screen You will have full HD res.

1) Scale 1280x720 to 800x480, in which case you get an aspect ratio error of 1% which is more than acceptable.
2) Scale 1280x720 to 800x450 and pad the rest with black bars.
Is that what was asked?
For comparison purposes, my Captivate does this also. 720x480 is zoomed; 1280x720 is zoomed further.

450? did you watch the video? the problem seems to be only in 1080p and as far i know 720p and 1080p have the same aspect ratio

450 because it will be the same AR. Anyway, apologies. I should have read further back to see what the actual problem behind the discussion was.
Do we know the reason for this? All of the retail units are doing it.
Its simply a lower viewing angle at higher resolutions, its not that uncommon on video recording devices.
not sure I understand?
The youtube video in the OP shows RECORDING, not playback, right?
When it records in 1080p, the screen shows a zoomed in picture.
This is because the phone cannot take raw 1920x1080 video stream from the camera, and at the same time be encoding it as 1080p and saving it to memory, and downscaling that raw 1920x1080 stream to 800x480 to display on screen. This phone is powerful, but not that powerful. Or maybe that youtube video was of not final software.
Yes it's zoomed, and that's a hack to make it possible to record 1080p.
They've basically just cut off the pixels on the side, and are using 1920x1080 pixels from the centre of the camera's sensor.
This way, it doesn't have to process the "extra" pixels on the side, do pixel binning etc. The sensor is decent enough that 1080p still looks crisp at native res.

Ahh that is what they were showing Makes sense, just like the iP4 then - thanks for the explanation.
Hello All
Excuse me if this was already raised but do you think that it is possible in anyway to create a MOD for G2 camera that is capable of shooting 480p @ 240fps..
This goes by the fact that
4K @ 30fps
1080p @ 60fps
720p @ 120fps
Is this in anyway possible and is there any devs out there that would be able to do it?
Thanks in advance
I really doubt the hardware will support it (the camera and maybe the processor too)
But in all sense you are doing double the work at half the resolution...
Wouldn't it level out?

I really do not think so and this comes from the fact that 720p at 120fps doesn't really shoot video at 720p; it records at 360p 120fps and then upscales the video and it is because of this that 720p 120fps videos look pixelated
they look less pixelated if you manually change the bitrate in the media profiles xml file (put 30000000 instead of current 12000000 and see the difference)

Wow.. Thanks a lot man.
oh yes.. make sure you change the xml value before flashing
(extract the xdabbeb mod zip, change xml, zip the whole package again and flash)
Bump..
Now that we have seen this on IPhone, is it possible on Android?
must be possible somehow. I had s600 Galaxy s4 and it was possible to record at 240fps
