depends, if you are using a video that is of incorrect format 4:3 or 16:9 then it will not be full screen, unless you are using a video playback program that will stretch the video.
seems like it should be simple enough but cant find a way to watch a video in portrait mode. I tried the stock movie and video player and mobo player and both of them automatically go into landscape mode when i play a video and no way to go to portrait.
*I'm watching a video shot on a cell phone in portrait mode (narrow and tall) and it only uses about a 1/4 of the screen when in landscape instead of full screen portrait which is how i want to
some players support it some dont. just make sure auto rotate is on...
all you can do...

some players support it, such as?....
I'm using ADW Ex and I can watch videos how ever I want to with auto rotate.
Also, you can change it in your browser's settings.

Possible with some players, and not with others (like the Samsung stock video player).
ok guys I think we covered the "Some do, Some Dont" how about posting links or app names now lol
Alright don't chew my arse if I am not right, but I think I just might be...
Gspot image attached of a 10sec. sample video using the below settings and attached media_profiles.xml
What I have done is edited the build.prop with a new property using Prop Editor:
Code:
ro.media.camcorder.1080p=mp4,h264,60,24000000,aac,128000,44100,2
So property is:
Code:
ro.media.camcorder.1080p
Value:
Code:
mp4,h264,60,24000000,aac,128000,44100,2
I also made changes to the Media_profiles.xml file and have attached that file in zip format.
To install:
Unzip the file
using root explorer go to /System/etc
Rename media_profiles.xml to media_profiles.xml.bak
copy the new media_profiles.xml file to /System/etc
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Open up the camcorder
Goto Settings 1080P Shows HD+ on the screen when recording..
enjoy 1080P video recording...
FYI.. In 720p mode the same 10sec video had a file size of 14MB
In 1080 mode same subject matter video 10 sec. with a file size of 21MB.
Another build.prop edit:
ro.camcorder.videoModes=true
Default is false
This enables Video mode, which includes Video message, Normal, Slow motion, and Fast motion.
Hope this helps!!
The BIG question is, why do you want 1080P recordings? The optics can not really even support 720P and 1080P will not make it look better, probably even worse and the file will be twice as big. Playback of 1080P I can understand.
Just my 0.02
Cheers
nice post, but is the 1080p recording still only 24fps?
Also, to solve the spacing problem in the post, put the lines inside the Code tags
Code:
ro.media.camcorder.1080p=mp4,h264,60,24000000,aac,128000,44100,2

Being able to extract any frame and have it 2mp is pretty cool to me. It the highest resolution, if you're playing it on a nice full HD screen, it will fill every pixel. It does look better in 1080p

I'm actually glad that it's 24fps. If you think, any professional movie on a dvd only plays 24fps. When it gets up to 30fps, it plays faster and looks more like a home video, so I like the 24fps look better.
Thanks for this will try it out tonight!

Not work on Stock rom! At least for me...
It looks better but our software is not optimized to record 1080p yet. So videos are slightly choppy.

Works great on CherryBlur!
Still a little choppy during recording, but the output file is definitely 1080p at 24fps.
Playback is very smooth.
Nice find on the xml file.
Doesn't work for me too!!!
p.s. atrix has far more optics than just 2.5 mpx (1080p)

same as me
A agurzhiy and yusmiza... Did you change the permissions of the media_profiles.xml to rw-r--r-- and reboot after copying the file over and making the changes in the build prop?
does the front camera work? noticed in you xml you put the high setting for the front cam at 720P
Seems to work for me. At least 720 and 1080 the file sizes were different anyway (for the same time frame) Nothing to really test it on here at work.
edit: When taking pictures the 720 and 1080 file sizes are different also...though both say 3.8 mp still
i just edited myself!
Please tell me the version of your FW and is it a stock camera?
p.s. i do not care 1080, i need SloMo, but my buildProp has on default ro.camcorder.videoModes=true
Default was true for me
running Ken's GB beta 4 and yes stock camera
i'll try to copy your file. I found slomo and fastmo
but both of them, while playing are just usual video. Nothing faster, nothing slower, despite the fact that camera on slomo each second counts as 3 seconds (so it shows after 3 seconds that 9 seconds were recorded)
y2... Thanks for catching that!! I didn't realize I didn't put the front camera setting back to norm.. My front Camera doesn't work due to a swimming pool incident with my Atrix, but it will usually come up with a black screen.. now I get a FC.. I will make the appropriate changes and update the file.. Let me know if the new file lets the front cam work on yours...

the optics don't matter, it's the sensor. the sensor is also not able to capture constant data at the full 5 MP (video); it can take pictures at that level but it can't handle video at that level. that's why whenever you record a video on you digital camera, it's at a much smaller resolution, or why when you do burst-mode on some cameras, the maximum size is smaller than the regular MP rating.

ag.. Mine records like you said counts as 3, but will play back slow. I do have the app HERE loaded as well...
I have searched and I know this question has been asked before and no one has given a definitive answer, perhaps due to limited interest but I believe an app or module that could do this via software means would be invaluable to many people.
I want to be able to hold the phone in portrait mode, or perhaps just set it in my breast pocket with the lens poking out and have it record 1080p HD video and have that video recorded and play in landscape format as if the phone were oriented in landscape mode.
In theory this should be possible, as the 8MP sensor on the S4 Active has a pixel range of 3264x2448. Rotating that 45 degrees to 2448x3264 still gives us plenty of space for a full HD 1980x1080, automatically cropping out the extraneous top and bottom portions the sensor is capable of capturing.
Or is the sensor being utilized in a different manner during video capture? A slightly lower resolution would be alright.. like 720p
I would pay for this ability. Think about it!
I searched on the forum but could not find anything about zoom except for zooming in while taking a picture or shooting a video. On my old Samsung when replaying a video, you could zoom into the video.
When I do that movement of spreading your fingers on my Huawei the video just fast forwards. Is it even possible to zoom into a video while replaying without using that option that everything zooms in by tapping 3 times.

Not with stock video player.
Coming from a Sony I Was happy with their album/photo video player app.
It supports pan and zoom.
