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

Possible to reduce video capture to 320p?

Files are way to big at 480p to share more than a couple of seconds of video via appd such as Whatsapp etc, does anyone know how to get the lower rez added to the camera or aware of an app that will allow native shooting at 320p?

The question should be "When will Whatsapp support more than 320p?" I doubt you'll see a while lot of support for anything less than 480p going forward.

Hi Ian, issues is with files that are about 15 seconds end up being more than 10 mb at 480p. Wish the 320p was included

HD youtube app

Hi,
I've been looking (for a while) why we can't update to the new youtube.apk with the HD feature. Since the youtube HQ is really a ****ty quality on phones, I tried to get some kind of "real'' 720 p videos.
On my googling, I finally found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715
It's really better now.
Hope it helped.

It's perfect.
But I really dont know what is the real resolution and the bitrate from youtube.
The image's fluid and it seems to use the complete 800x480 res

Are there any mods or apps that improves the videos quality?

Because when i record whit the standard camera it seems to be very laggy (24 fps). Is there any mod/app that increase the bitrate?
Thanks and im sorry for.my bad English

I've had the same thing, but its not laggy at all when the video comes out, so its not really an issue.
I assume its to keep the quality of the recording up, so the preview is a low priority.

APP: Solution to 1080p Lag and Focus Problem

Hello Guys... Hope u enjoying your new .96 JB Firmware. ...anyway lets move to the problem which you guys may be having... but that was annoying me too much.. yes i am talking about 1080p lag and Focus problem. after new update i was still having a slight lag while recording video and the big thing which was annoying me too much was continously focussing of camera even in day light condition that was ruinning my video.... :silly: So after lots of Searching i found a solution...:good: :victory:
LG Camera App....:fingers-crossed: available in android market and you do not have to buy that app because all features of both paid and non paid versions are same except you see a free logo on icon of the app which is not bothering...
here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en
So this app is very usefull and both the image quality and video recording performance is way better then stock camera app..... There are alot of options for image capturing and video recording.....you can change Mbits rate and sampling rate of video,,,,,you can change Focus Setting while Recording and YOU CAN ALSO TAP TO FOCUS WHILE RECORDING WHICH STOCK APP IS MISSING...A FEATURE THAT SAVED MY LIFE :good:
Settings which Worked best for me Without ANY Problem and Best Video Quality with out lag or focusing PRoblem is :
For image: All settings auto.....antishake Disabled......Delayed jpeg saving....and i get sharp images compared to Stock
For Video: 1080p Resolution....H264 Encoder......Video bit rate 20 Mbits..........Focus mode Auto
Both 1080 and 720 videos are 16:9 Ratio
i have Stock JB .96 and stock kernel installed
Unfortunatly sony didnt listen to us but nothing is impossible in android....and i found a Solution.. Hope you guys Enjoy and Try yourself.....
All credit goes to orignal App developer....

Thankz mahnnn it is wrth a try
Super like

You cannot record on 60fps, says record failed. Also, the bitrate work only on 20 on my phone.
The videos are not much better and I don't see any difference between this and original camera.
Thank you!

for me 60 fps works i personally recorded it and checked its properties in MX player and there it says it is 59.699 FPS but yea the bit rate is also 20 Mbits for me which is atleast good then the stock 16.9 Mbits Also we can tap to focus in video when we want.... this is atleast better then the stock camera which is continously trying to focus on object again and again and Ruining video........Anyhow Thanks for Trying....

Agree, this is the best camera app. Been using it for a long time but not the best UI.

there is not 60fps, mxplayer shows fake stats, copy the video to the pc and check it
