According to my TV, the output resolution is 720p. How do I change the output resolution to 1080p?
I don't think you can? Native resolution on the LGOG is 720p (although it has 48 extra pixels). Can't see how you can modify it to 1080p output.

After much experimentation, I have found that the epic prefers 5:3 aspect ratio. If you want the maximum in clarity and optimized file size for your videos, here are the settings I came up with. Adding more to either bitrate wont help the quality.
Customized MP4 Movie (*.mp4) template in Freemake
Video Code: MPEG4 (NOT h.264 or x264)
Frame Size: 1000x600 (5:3 ratio)
Video Bitrate: 1280
Video framerate: 24
Encode Passes: 2
Audio Codec: AAC
Audio Bitrate: 160
Sample rate: 44100
Audio Channels: 2
Disable Audio: No
A/V Sync: Default
These settings work great on my Arnova 10b (Capacitive) and my Touchpad. They would also work great in an iPad or XBOX. I used the high resolution to fill the screen of my Arnova without stretching. It works fine on my Epic.
Here the question: Why 5:3? Any other aspect ratio does not actually fill the screen. If you make a 800x600 (4:3) video, you will find that the player does not actually fill the screen. Thoughts?
The screen resolution is 800x480, which is 5:3...
Just make the video 800x480, and it won't have to do any scaling.
Interesting. Gonna check my videos and see what res I have them in, because they look awesome as it is.

I did that resolution... It worked great for my epic.. I settled on the resolution I used because it worked awesome on all my devices.. even my touchpad. The cost in file size is almost nothing between the two resolutions.
Ok, I have a 720p video.. it looks amazing at its normal resolution of 1280x720.. no cropping that I can notice..
I'm an editor by trade.
What you're looking for is H.264 in .mp4. I tend to go for a video bitrate that hangs out around 1.5mbps and AAC stereo audio at 160kbps, 44.1kHz. There are quite a few artifacts in the shadows, but for watching a movie on an airplane it'll suffice.
The key to both a sharp picture and long battery life is to properly prepare the video. When your video is under or over 800px wide the Epic has to perform scaling to make it fill the screen (or sacrifice filling the screen if it is under). This scaling is an additional calculation it must perform, which hits the battery, and is a transformation on a lossy codec - a quality killer. If you have the render power (48 i7 cores and segmented processing makes for fast work) you can always hit it with mild sharpening for that extra pop.
Export your video at 800 pixels wide by whatever makes the correct aspect ratio. It's a bit of simple algebra, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, divide, and bang.
ex:
(1280/720)=(800/x)
1280x=720*800
1280x=576,000
x=450
800x450 <-- use this for any 16x9 broadcasts
(1.85/1)=(800/x)
1.85x=800
x=432
800x432 <-- use this for movies presented in 1.85:1, 2.35:1, and 2.40:1.
If it's 4x3 export at 640x480.
I just scale up to 4k. Looks pretty good =D
480p is nominally 640x480 (4:3), but if you look on Youtube, for example, you're not going to find many 480p videos that aren't 16:9, meaning 854x480 (Wikipedia lists that as a valid 480p resolution among several).
Is there a way to either change what 480p is in the camera menu or add a 480p (16:9) selection?
The other resolutions, 720p and 1080p, are 16:9, of course, but I don't always want to squander that much space when the quality isn't needed.
The answer to your question would be no. All of your video would be either sqaushed or stretched.
720 & 1080 are native 16:9 formats. They can be down converted to fit 4:3 and if it was filmed properly it will still look good because the camera man protected 4:3 boundaries while shooting 16:9.
If youve ever seen a 16:9 movie on an old 4:3 tv you will notice that its letter boxed and down converted to fit the screen.
Most consumer and prosumer cameras are 16:9 by default now because all of the displays on the market can show that content properly.
I don't follow your first sentence. I can understand the phone simply not being capable of doing it (I'm still hoping that's not the case, since 3rd-party ROMs often can do wonders), but if it could, then I don't see what the problem would be recording 16:9 480p (854x480). I would even think that it would be more popular than 4:3 480p.
Also, I have to think that 16:9 480p is quite common, since how else can so many 480p videos on Youtube be 16:9 (and these are often videos that top out at 480p, so they're not down-converted from something higher)? Phones are by far the most common video recorders, yet I can't recall the last time I saw vertical black bars on Youtube (what you get with 640x480).
According to my TV, the output resolution is 720p. How do I change the output resolution to 1080p?

Since the phone's own native resolution is 720p and with mhl cable You only mirror the screen of Your phone, I think You can't change the output signal.
I guess...
But hey! Good luck! Maybe You'll find something! :good:
