i have seen a few threads saying that the Desire has 720p recording and divx player but most reviews are saying this has been left out.
Does the Desire have these features out the box or are they in the pipeline and can we expect to see these functions from future roms?
Apparently this will come in a future firmware upgrade, as far as I am aware it is not present in any currently available Desires
indeed. none of them have it, and i don't think it's been confirmed that it will happen. afaik it's still just a rumour at this point.
well i asked HTC about the HD videorecording and divx support and this is what they said.
Dear xxxx
No, this will not available with the next firmware.
It does not have the video capabilities to record 1080x720 which is 720p
We are not licensed to distribute Divx Codec
Thanks for contacting HTC Europe
Kind regards.

There are rumours of HD video recording for the Desire, but why isn't this available for the Nexus one if they have the same hardware?

HD support will come with a firmware update, the hardware can do it, but the software doesnt yet

I was thinking the same after reading all news about the Sprint HTC Evo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G
including the HTC Sense user experience, an 8.0 megapixel auto-focus camera/camcorder with support for recording HD-capable video at 720p ...

It uses the same Snapdragon 1GHz (except this one for CDMA).
I dont know if the 8MP camera has anything to do with 720p recording ...
So, this HD 720p recording definitely only the software, which I assume:
- The CAMERA
I guess, we can rip the software from HTC Evo and put it in the HTC Desire
Easy to say btw

Good news for the Desire!
I hope they will keep 30fps though
720x480 30fps is already very good
I have just watched the below video and I have mixed feelings about whether the Desire is capable of hd video recording, and will have divx support on release.

The employee seems to shoot down the rumours as he says that he heard them on the net.
Why would htc keep these features a secret? but at the same time on the t-mobile site under coming soon phones HD video recording is noted as a feature?
Well, actually he's literally saying "at the moment", and that is VERY much on the first week of the announcement, coming from a HTC employee. it means they're working on it.

"HTC Desire to receive DivX playback support in future update"
It appears that one has to trust HTC and buy Desire over Nexus one, hoping for 720p and DivX. I believe DivX is possible, but 720p would be unlikely to happen over update.
I believe I saw another video, where an 'HTC Exhibitor' said that the device as it is records in VGA but the hardware is already in there to support HD video recording- even going as far as saying, "if some developed an app to do this they (HTC) would have no problem with it".
i've preordered a desire and on the specs-page they say it supports DivX!

I can confirm that the desire plays DIVX. I have had a demo handset from HTC for a week, playback is very good, great phone.

Please let us know - does it play 720p mp4 MPEG and 720p AVI DivX without conversion? Any limit to bitrate?
Hi, I was out for a while from this forum, the Desire made me back. I just ordered mine, was hearing a rumor that hTC has promised an update by which the Desire will be capable of making 720P videos and also encoding and DivX playback. So all I wanna know how true is that?
Thanks.
As far as I know it is not a definite, and there is actually no official word from HTC... YET lol

HTC doesn't have the permission to use the DivX Codec, and 720p is unsupported. PERIOD.
There's an update due with 720p Recording and DivX playback support apparently.

Yeah, I read that news a month before but wanted to know if there is any update on that. Anyway, I believe hTC and their words.
Thanks.
just wondering. i see that has it advertised as a feature while the desire does not, even though (afaik) the socs the same?
is it just me or do all HTC Cameras in WP7 seem half-assed compared to Samsung, LG, and Dell's cameras...
i own a Surround and whenever I upload a 720p video to my HD, the audio seems so... "underwater."
Are you all experiencing the same with HTC phones?
heard something on the engadget mobile podcast that htc uses phone mic software for their video sound recording where most use better software.
