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...
Today I'm gonna show you that how you could get 240/480/960 fps smooth slowmotion on your device. You don't need to have root or a PC just your device and an application.
App : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielkorgel.SmoothActionCamSlowmo
( In no way I'm claiming that this app is my intellectual property, I'm just sharing what this app is capable of. )
Just follow the steps in the video below.
For all of you who are skeptical whether this method actually works or this video is just a clickbait. Before you watch this video and get disappointed later. I would like to tell you that how this thing actually works.
First of all you will need to install the app I linked. Then record a video and btw the video you record can be of any frame rate or resolution, you can even produce a "smooth" slow motion video out of a 4k video you recorded. But the final result would be much better if you record at the highest possible frame rate as the app would have more information to work with.
Now after you've set up the app as I showed you in the video, select the video file you recorded. Now after doing other steps click on export, this process would take time depending on fps, resolution, length of the video and how much you slow it down. Eg. A 720p 120fps slow mo video of around 5 seconds took around 2 minutes to export. The way this app works is that first it takes two frames, then guessing what the the frame in between them would've looked like renders it, this process is called motion interpolation. Google this term to know better. Btw professional videographers use this method too in Adobe premiere pro on PC's.
The reason I chose to show how to show the setting up and method of using this app using a video because first of all the the method of setting up the app is easier to understand by a video and as this whole process off exporting takes time so with this video showed you the proof that what I'm telling you all is true.
( In no way this app is my intellectual property and in no way I'm related or know the developer personally. I just found about this app due to my habit of trying different apps and I'm sharing what this app does as I wasn't able to find any other app capable of motion interpolation.)
Hello,
I have noticed when I use the youtube app to upload videos, the video quality changes to 480p whenever the video is uploaded. I have tried setting the camera app to 1080p 60fps and UHD and changing the settings for upload quality in the youtube app, neither helped. This happens when uploading on either wifi or mobile data. Anyone knows whats going on?
Thanks
The issue you're having is solved in the YouTube app. Click on your profile picture in the top right hand corner then the settings option, next choose general and then upload quality. Choose original and what ever resolution you recorded in will be how it is uploaded. Hope this helps mate

i have tried that, it doesn't solve the issue
It is definitely related to the youtube app. No idea how to fix it. What I have noticed is when I watch an uploaded video using any mobile device via youtube app, then the video is in 480p quality, but if i use my PC to watch it, then the video is in the original quality that it was recorded in. Whats going on here?
Same problem
I have same problem. But video quality is 480p even on computer. I uploaded one video more than week ago and it is ok. Three more videos in last 3 days show only in 480p. Backup to google photos is in 1080p.
So problem is only with videos in portrait mode. In landscape it is uploaded in 1080p. I try upload same video to vimeo and it shows 1080p on PC, but quality in android app is lower (i don't see in app setting button to change it).
