Yes, it is possible to have 720p video on your XPlay. Just make sure it's in .mp4 video format and it should play with no issues. I currently have Spartacus: Gods of the Arena in 1280x720 .mp4 videos on my SD card and I can watch them just fine!

I use moboplayer for playing 720p (mainly .mkv or .mp4) see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080194 kenshindono tested and provided a list of players.

I think he means in the camera! I think the Play has the same camera as the arc, which I think supports 720p. Hopefully someone can mod our camera to support it, not all too sure though!

it should definitely be possible, just needs to be enabled with custom software. would probably require a SD card with class 4 or higher, root and/or unlocked bootloader (which is not yet possible on the R800x, the one i have. :lame:

Indeed lol now that you mention it. Well shouldn't his question have been "Hey guys is it possible to record 720 p video on the play the hardware support so I think it wouldn't be hard to do"

i pretty sure it dosent need to be enabled, its just not availible in the stock camera app, try lg camera pro, i used to use that to record 720p on my desire before it had 720p officially

Unfortunately mine cannot play HD anime episodes smoothly (.mp4)
Any solution ?

Wrong section?

This thread was about 720p video recording not playback. The play does not have a screen capable of displaying HD video, so you might as well convert any video to the native res of the screen.

Flash cyanogenmod 9.1 or cyanogenmod 10. im pritty sure it enabled there. as long as you dont use Turbo Kernel as cosmicdan has disabled it in hes kernel to gain extra speed if im not too wrong

Why is the 720P recording always come out choppy with artifacts?!!?!

Seriously every single video I record comes out with artifacts and choppy/freezing. What in the world is happening. I can't be the only one? Fix for this!!? So disappointing, sigh
Try on CM6. HTC sucks at coding.
They set a low bit rate in the video with high compression. CM has normal ones, plus they're working on better audio.

Damn out of all the times I've flashed CM6 I've never tried the HD recording! This might be the definite deal breaker for me for Sense Roms.
Yeah. It looks really nice on CM6. >_<
I had the same issue with 2.1 and 2.2. I noticed that when I played the video for a second time it would play smooth (maybe it got cached). I just changed the SD card to a Ridata class 6 and now videos always play OK.

Yeah but it also plays back choppy on my computer when I transfer the file over or if I upload it to YouTube or anywhere else. I am going to try CM6 now and see what kind of results I get.
I'll admit I haven't tried 720P recording on CM6 in a few weeks but under RC1 the issue I was having was that the video and audio would lose sync...I took a recording of my dog barking at my cat and the video of the bark was showing before the bark sound. I guess I should try it on the nightly I'm running now and see how it is.

[Q] patching the libOmxVdec.so

Hey everyone has anybody tried to patch the libOmxVdec.so on the xperia play to allow 720p hardware decoding playback on diceplayer. If anyone has help please.
Never even heard of this, but might be interested to take a shot at it. Any links to more info?
this is the link http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCAQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1170541&ei=4QhuTv22CMbWsgaa1OHbBA&usg=AFQjCNHDxkGeiowt7K15TxQdost8QHH7sA

This very well may be possible after having looked into it a bit. The MSM8255 Snapdragon on the Xperia Play does support hardware playback of 720p... so... very interesting.
yep dats wat im thinking to its very interesting
Isn't the source for that lib present on FXP git?
I imagine it should be.
I gave it a shot with QQPlayer, one of the apps mentioned on the other thread and I saw no difference in video playing performance with a 720p video.
it tried it to and it didnt increase my compatiblity but lowered it in stock player and diceplayer wierd
Don't try patch libomxvdex.so.
This libOmxVdec.so is suitable for QSD8250 not QSD8255.
* edit
you should try libOmxVdec.so from Desire HD.
I'll give it a shot sometime tonight.

no its not possible
because for recording in 1080p it is necessary that arc also play 1080p mp4 file.
i over clock arc to 1900 MG-HZ and play a 1080p mp4 song its played but problem in audio sync.
its not properly played mp4 1080p videos
and over clocking upto 1900 MgHZ also heat up the arc quickly
an other problem is that at this time we did not have a custom camera app for arc that have an option of making 1080p recording
i think if the Developers work on the Camera it will be available.
Cause the Xperia X10 have on Custom Firmware the function that he can record 1080 Videos.
basically i dont think its possible to take 1080p60 or 50 movies without big compression. Reason: you cannot write this amount of data fast enough to SD Card.
Maybe someting high compressed and interlaced might be possible, or only short time which are fitting onto internal memory and is moved after that to external.
But again, reading from SD card must be fast enough for playing them correctly (or fill up mobile memory.
for creating/viewing 1080p60 movies write and read speed has to be above 12MB/s (thats the datastream of the movie). this is also the reason why you cannot watch 1080p60 movies via Wireless G properly.
Sorry guys for wrong Category...
EDIT:
Moved to the right Category now...
Weird the iPhone 4S uses exactly the same camera, as the Arc, and it can record in 1080p....

Single core against dual core. iPhone 4s has more processing power in this case.
Im not really sure if this is the sole limiting factor though.

Can someone port Timeshift video for our 4.1 device? I know that 4k video is impossible with our hardware but if it's possible to record in 4K on low fps then please port that too

It wont work.. H/W limitations and as u can see, and need support from the kernel. And also Camera drivers need to be coded from scratch if i'm right.. And one last thing, please don't post requests in themes section.. Do take it to General section..
just forget it man
go buy a z2

I standby what i said in my prev post.. Its almost impossible to get it working on our phone because of the H/W limitations and other obvious reasons like libraries and stuff..

It's not almost impossible. It IS impossible. Our hardware is WAY too weak to record anything at 120fps. Even Xperia Z probably won't get this.

1080p 60fps recording

Hi. Does anybody know why HTC doesn´t support 1080p 60 fps video recording? Is it software or hardware related? If it´s software related, is there any possibility to record video in 1080p @ 60fps?

Hardware is definitely capable. Lots of apps in play store will record at 1080/60fps. I haven't tried any, I'll leave that to you.

Hey, I am also interested in this topic. In fact the only thing holding me back getting a 10 is the question if it is able to record 60hz at least with an after market app. So could anybody who already owns one try this please?
Open Camera doesn't work
Tested Open Camera from the play store. You can set the framerate to 60 fps but it will still record in 29.97 fps.
