[Q] is 720p video possible?

i think someone talked about this before but i can't find the thread in searches. is it completely impossible to get 720p video out of the milestone?

likely possible, just depends on how many frames you would like per second...
The camera seems to be high enough quality to capture the pixels you require but the phone may not be able to process/compress the video stream, given the frame rate you may desire.
I'm not totally sure, but I imagine that's going to be the overall consensus.

Cannot be done.
I believe the phone itself couldn't keep up.

No enough hardware for 720p on milestone

I believe once you root the phone and overclock the hardware, it should run video at 720p

is this true?
how would u go about enabling 720p video recording?
that would be awesome!
i have already rooted and overclocked to 900mhz

I don't know if is it possible since we can't even play 720p .mkv videos, which I believe needs less cpu/ram power than recording 720p videos in high frame rate.
Furthermore, Milestone's camera isn't that good at all, why you would want to record a 720p video with a bad camera sensor?

with camera.apk change this is possible?

Playing 720p files is perfectly possible, but recording, hmm maybe at 24 or less FPS so why bother I prefer D1 at 24+ FPS, than laggy 720p,

It should be 720p video recording min requirements are 30 fps rate. Nexus one at best have 25fps. Our phone runs from 30 without root even motorola has specs sheet.. I think it was Verizon who told Motorola not to add 720P video recording. Just to make users upgrade to Droid Incredible and Droid x . In the Froyo update to Droid Last Summer. Milestone will get 720 p video recording in the new update 2.2 os in Europe. You can always talk to Matt from Motorola to verified my statement.

Hi cry3200, could you tell me how do you play 720p .mkv videos??
It's the only thing I wish my Milestone could do and can't get it done. My videos don't play flawlessly whatever video-player/settings I've tried.
I only get 720p+ videos and I would love to play them in my Milestone without having to encode them in lower quality...

Hi there,
first off all i don't need this feature on my phone...
It doesn't make sense to me if the video resolution is higher than the display resolution.
Anyway, no doubt it is quite interesting thing from the technical point of view.
At least some things should be fulfilled:
- hardware support for 720p
- enough bandwitdh on the memory subsystem
- application to handle HD video files
So i took a look into the processors datasheet:
Code:
· XGA - 1024 ´ 768 VESA timings at 60 fps (pixel clock = 63.5 MHz)
· WXGA - 1280 ´ 800 VESA timings at 59.91 fps (pixel clock = 71 MHz)
· SXGA+ - 1400 ´ 1050 direct drive of LCD with minimal blanking at 50 fps (pixel clock = 75
MHz)
· HD 720p - 1280 ´ 720 CEA 861-D timings at 60 fps (pixel clock = 74.25 MHz)
Looks like hardware would basically supporting this.
From my point of view the rest of hardware should be powerful enough to handle it as well (at least it is a SoC with PoP memory).
There's also a high speed connection to the display.
Last but not least the CPU is very similar too the one used on beagleboard.
AFAIK you may play HD on this hardware.
IMHO there might be some trouble on the milestone because of the resolution missmatch.
Please correct me if i'm wrong!
Regards,
scholbert

Just use VPlayer, set the quality in options to Speed or High Quality, and experiment with the buffer for different container types, MKV files should not exceed your card speed I use a class 10 card but the stock is a class 2, but usually I use MP4 720p files that I encode from MKV 1080p, I encode on the GPU so by the time I drink a coffe and smoke a cigarette its almost encoded, original MKV 720p has some audio/video sync issues with VPlayer so I dont use them, but if you overclock to 1.2 or 1.25GHz the sync problems are gone, I dont really remember a bit rate to tell you for encoding, but try with 2000-3000kb/s and see if it works I usually use between 3000-4000kb/s with my card
Just experiment,
EDIT: Forgot to mention, not all of the movies encoded play flawlessly but I'd say that 90 percent of them work, but keep in mind you need to overclock to 1GHz minimum so if you don't want to do that it wont work, and use FroyoMod cause its the fastest and most stable rom available, Gingerbread has problems with VPlayer it just crashes; but the problem is VPlayer itself

Thank you for your answer.
- The only reason i wanted this to work out-of-the-box is to not have to encode, etc.. Just copy the files in SD Card and press Play..
- I am always in 1.1GHz, I will try 1.2GHz..
- I encoded a couple of 720p .mkv files in MP4 with excellent (same I think..) quality with Handbrake and they played absolutely fine in Milestone. I just want to avoid this encoding process.
I will follow your advice and see what happens. First of all I guess I have to change the stock mSD with one faster.

Thanks for all the replies regarding this. I just figured that since the camera sensor has the pixels it should be able to fire out the extra res. I'm not concerned with the screen mismatch as the videos don't get played back on device, they get put on my computer and youtibe, both of which will benefit from the extra pixels.

[Q] Video watching screen resolution

What's the optimum size resolution for watching videos on Xperia X8
What I mean is that I convert my HD videos into a 320x240 resolution to view it on my phone. I convert because my stock video app does not let me play those "big screened" videos. But both the audio and video quality decreases considerably.
I don't wish to use any 3rd party app to watch those HD videos , rather watch them on stock app (Converting into small resolution saves me disk space as well )
What screen resolution should I use to watch good video quality on my X8 ??
Also , any tip to improve audio quality ?
Specs :
Xperia X8
GingerDx V021
Stock Kernel

you can try on 480*320 resolution at bit rate of 1082(around) and 25frames/second and in audio 93kbps bit rate and 48kHz sample rate.
hope this will help you....
P.S. - you are using a custom rom right? so why don;t use try something like MX Video Player? so far it seems to be a good player on stock 2.1 for me. (just sharing my experience mate )

I watch mp4 videos at resolution 640x360 with the mx video player..

I try convert any blueray film with :
- video : H.264, 480*320, 25 fps, 900 kbps bit rate
- audio : aac, 44100 Hz, 2 channel, 128 kbps bit rate
smooth and clear playing in my x8..
try wondershare video converter.. you can googling it.. cheers..

[Q] Hack/Mod Sense Camera Slow Motion Quality

Hi!
Has anybody came across some mods/tweak, where as the HTC One's stock camera (Sense) can be modified- e.g.
remain at the same 96 fps but higher resolution (720p for example) or increase the fps to 120.
As far as I know, the Snapdragon 600 should be capable of this, hence my 6 year old KU990 was able to do QVGA 120 fps on a 140mhz 1 core ARM CPU
Thanks.

Hmm, not even a not possible reply?

Most probably depends on the kernel. Anw the stock camera is able to film 60fps with 720p. How do u modify it to 96fps 0.0

If you choose Slow Motion in video settings - it records slow motion at 96 fps, but low quality for a FullHD screen...
That is why I am asking if it is possible to modify it

That depends on the kernel, and of cource the camera app. For now I think it's impossible. The resolution of slow mo mode is really low..

Yes, probably need a 4.3 kernel source released.

240 FPS 720p

Is there a way to enable recording of 240 FPS slow-mo? I really do not mind the video being at quality of 720p, If the phone is capable of 1080p @240, I do not see a reason why it would not handle higher framerate at 720p.

where did you find info that it could handle 240 fps? i thought it was more like 60 (or 120 for 720p max)? don't get me wrong, i would like to see that, but imo this is out of A2's reach.

It records video in 1080p at 60fps or 720p at 120fps.

The 660 chipset on the Mi A2 IS capable of 240FPS @ 720P.
(https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-660-mobile-platform)
The limiting factors here would be either A.) the camera modules or B.) software implementation.
So, in theory, yes but further testing/research would have to go into determining the possibility.
This would best be a question for Xiaomi support:
https://www.mi.com/global/support/contact/
Good luck!

and C) the willingness of Xiaomi of course

^^^ Absolutely this. LOL.

Even Mi 8 lite has 240FPS @720p, it uses the same CPU, so it is a software matter, so there should be a way to enable it.

@ond96
And you're likely right but, as of now, no one on XDA has volunteered to implement such a change.
Please contact Xiaomi and inquire further with them.

MI9T PRO low bitrate on 4k 60fps

Hey guys, is there any mod to increase video quality, 4k 30fps and 60fps have same low bitrate it's only 42mbps, Even my old LG G4 had 4k 30fps 48mbps quality and with v10 camera app it could do 64mbps no problem. What the problem with xiaomi ? low bitrate on audio aswell. Ive seen mod to increase that, but what about video quality ?

Does the quality appear very poor?
I thought the video quality would be variable.

Gcam on Android 9 can record at 100Mbps (is too much visible). If you are in Android 10 like me, we are fuccked.
