Is our camera capable of recording 1440p video? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Is it a hardware limitation stopping us from recording 1440p on our SGS3's, or did they just limit it at 1080p since it's more mainstream?

What is 1440p? Never heard of that standard.

Explanation of 1440p.

And to answer the OP- I think we are limited to 1080p.

Is this technically misselling?

Movies.
Not only watch movies, but make them also with the HTC Desire. HD (High Definition) video capture lets you capture special moments as they happen in brilliant high definition.
It's not HD (at present)
where did you get that info from?

It's on the way apparently

Yeah but if we have to add software to the phone, is this not going to further limit the available space on the phone meaning removing a number of apps?
The phone memory capacity is so poor can it really work without Google allowing apps on memory cards to work?
I think Play have just printed the incorrect specs.
No one from HTC has said any 720P recording updates as far as Im aware.
don't forget that anything above 425 lines is legaly defined as hd. at 480 they are technically correct. bloody cheeky but correct.

Standard Def TV in the UK is already 576 lines, I think you will find that the HD Spec lists 720 lines as a minimum for HD TV so I would therefore expect that when referring to video playback and recording the 720 lines mininmum would still apply.
I think that in the phone industry though it is quite common to call a screen resolution of 480 lines HD just to add confusion
i think rather it is just Play getting it wrong.
Phones4U also say something similar instore (not checked online).

Lol! How suprising! They'll say anything to sell a phone!
I'd rather they just made video recording at 30FPS rather than the crappy 20FPS that it is now. It's *extremely* stuttery in video mode. A weak LG Viewty from 3 years ago could record at 120FPS , why does a snapdragon powered phone in 2010 record at 20 FPS?

It's supposed to be 30fps, at a higher resolution, and presumably greater bit depth. Are you recording to sd card or internal memory?

CM9 - changing the bitrate of the video camera

I believe this is set in Media_profiles.XML
Is it safe to change the 1080p bitrate? How do you do so properly?
My goal is to increase the videocam quality.

The default for h264 1080p is 12000000 (12Mbps). From a quick search it looks like the bitrate for the iPhone is 25Mbps.
Two values need to be changed:
Bitrate for 1080p in camera 0 section and the max bitrate of the h264 codec lower down in the file.
Setting it to 25 crashes the camera. 20 works and is confirmed to be working when checking video properties in Windows.
The quality improvement is questionable. Still looks like **** compared to iPhone 1080p samples I saw on YouTube.
The 1080p videos on the Nitro almost look like they're interlaced! Anyone else notice this?
More importantly we need to fix the spastic focus asap!

i render my work related video to h264 weekly. a 25mbs bitrate isn't noticeable on streaming video and is overkill. the 1080p vid samples that came preinstalled on my nitro were mind-blowing quality. i've also streamed youtube hd on mine and it looked stellar. i've also streamed youtube hd and it looked like hammered ****.

I've never attempted to take a video before on my phone. Right now my camera app won't even open, haha. I'll let you know when I can manage to make it work...

I just noticed that when selecting 1080p, it creates videos with the wrong resolution - 1920x1088 (instead of 1920x1080). Perhaps there is some wonky scaling going on in the vertical resolution which is what is causing that banding effect.
And yes, I am also seeing the same "interlacing" effect in videos I take with my phone. The effect does not appear at 720p or 480p.
The framerate is so abysmal at 1080p, I don't know why I'd ever use it anyway. 720p seems pretty good though.

I've seen the 1088 vertical resolution on other phones, doubt that's the problem. Maybe someone who knows a lot more what's going on can chime in.
Shouldn't both 720p and 1080p be 30fps when it comes to framerate?

Should be, yes, but I was only getting under 10fps in my test videos. I dunno if I'm doing something wrong.
Yes that's definitely not normal. Check that you're actually set to video and not "time lapse" which is an option on the camcorder.

Pixel XL Video Recording

So with the announcement out of the way, a DXO Mark assessment complete and all the specs published I'm left wondering about video recording. The 6P recorded in 4K at 30FPS, 1080P at 30FPS and Slow Motion at 120FPS and 240FPS and without OIS it was shaky as hell. Both GSM Arena and the DXO Mark list 1080p 30/60/120FPS for the Pixels which piqued my interest.
Will we be getting 60FPS 1080p?
The image stabilisation on at the demo looked very impressive too and I believe that was at 4K but we'll have to wait and see if it's actually that good...

At long last, if this is available and the stabilisation is as good as they demo'd it'll be a great camcorder.
DXO said there was still Jello effect associated with EIS with videos. I guess we'll have to wait and see what it's truly like.

It does have 60fps. It must be in the settings that you choose the frame rate. In that video provided, it's just the choice of what quality you want, not the fps.

The only thing why I didn't buy the 6P, because it was pretty stupid they didn't add this when even mid-range phone have them. On the other hand, I would love to see manual controls on the camera, because every flagship should have them and people who likes photography greatly appreciate this.

" I will say the Image stabilization needs some work"
Looks good indeed, because stabilization usually doesn't work on 4K, but still we can't guarantee that the video was edited or manipulated in any way; we should wait for real reviews and camera tests, because I think is the only good thing this phone has.

Zenfone 2 60fps video recording support?

Does anyone know if there is an app/mod that supports recording of 60 fps video at 720/1080p on any model of the zenfone 2? The stock phone does not support recording above 30 fps even though the hardware of the phone supports it as pointed out here, "there’s no [email protected] option even though the Toshiba rear camera supports it".
From some googling it appears the Zenfone 2 uses a Toshiba T4K37 CMOS sensor, which natively supports both 1080p and 720p 60 fps recording.
I looked around the forums already and haven't seen anything about this, has anyone gotten it to work?
I think it's only 30 fps. I'm not sure though

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does this mean? That the decoding capabilities of the processor don't support 60 fps?
"Intel has surprisingly little information on the video encoding and decoding abilities of the Atom Z3580. Since the CPUs remain at their idle frequency during video playback, it appears the ZenFone 2 uses fixed-function hardware (instead of software decoding which uses the CPUs) for H.264 video decoding, saving power."

Exactly, we talked about this when the phone came out 1 year ago, and this was the idea... Asus also added slow motion in Asus camera, but apparently there is no way to increase to 60fps.

So the short answer is that the hardware actually doesn't support it due to a cpu limitation? To be clear, this means that no app or mod (cyanogenmod etc.) could possibly allow you to take 60 fps video?

I don't know much about Intel SOC but had a quick look at the zenfone 2 kernel https://github.com/sayeed99/LPGFX_C...rivers/camera/drivers/media/i2c/t4k37/t4k37.h
It seems all that's needed is a custom kernel with the 60fps register added to the video configuration near the end of the file. Alternative is to replace 30 fps register with 60fps and have 1080p video running at 60fps all the time

you can see even merrifield(dual-core atom uses same architecture of z35xx)

maybe another limit exists

960 fps and 4k 60 fps?

Just saw a video posted by "pocketnow" on LG G7 camera review. At 4:57 mark, he said there were new addition(960 fps slow mo, 4k 60fps) from OTA updates since his original phone review 2 months ago. Is it true cuz i cant find it on web.
Video link- Hmm, seems i need 10 posts. Better PM me if u cant find on YT, or just search on YT and you'll have it.
Saw the video and yeah I can confirm that the phone can shoot 4k at 60 fps with the new OTA update but I just tried recording a slow motion video and it's just at 240 fps and I can't seem to find the 960 fps option.
You mean the video of Jaime Rivera? He doesn't know what he is talking about, the g7 doesn't have 960fps at 720p, just tested and it's 240fps.
I don't even have the 4k 60fps option.

That's because your phone is not on the last Ota update
The reason that the phone can't shoot in 960fps is because there's no dedicated chip for it. For example Samsung uses dedicated fast storage chip to store the footage of the video and then transfer it to the main storage. LG doesn't have that chip plus the sensor only officially supports 240fps 720p but I noticed that it also supports 1080p 240fps .
Why we don't have that option is a mystery.

Personally I prefer 4k 60fps. From what I recorded it seems stable and I have no problems with it.
