720p vs 1080p for S2 videos - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently, I noticed that 720p recording mode is quite wider than 1080p on my s2. It is simply far superior as it gives more to view. However, I noticed that 1080p makes the camera automatically zoom in and screw up the video by making it zoomed and pixelated.
My question is that 720p "Looks" better but all monitors/tv in my house are 1080p and in the future screens will be even bigger, will my 720p videos look like crap compared to the 1080p ones?

Yes . 1080p uses more lines than 720p. Screen on phone means nothing as not hd. You can upscale 720 but better to stick with 1080p. Wonder if the s4 has ultra hd built in as this will hopefully be out later this year . Before you ask it should be one of the two thats bin submitted either 2160p or 4320p. Like hd befor both will get aproval I should think.

Any difference b/w 1920x 1080 and 800x 480

Hello guys I've been converting my videos to 800x480 for awhile and their all fine. I was wondering if I convert them to 1920x1080 would there be a significant difference since the SGSII's native resolution is 800x480. Thanks for answering my question. Oh yeah the resolution the videos come in are usually low quality like 704x400 usually in .rmvb format. Sometimes I do download 720p videos and convert them to 800x480.

I've been converting mine as well, no difference at all. I just maintain the bitrate and it also reduces the file size.
GS II's screen resolution is 480x800. So anything above that resolution is practically meaningless, let alone 720P or 1080P.
Regards.
I can argue about that.

Can this phone play 720p?

Just wondering...else I have to convert to 480p
Yes it supports 720p (and 1080p) movies.
you guys have to always remember that what it supports and what it can do flawlessly are two separate things....
720p videos films are playable but not the smoothest.
actually,For me,720p and 1080p vids played quite smoothly (maybe a tad slower than my iphone4 but nothing notable really)
Interesting, I didn't even try 720p. Good to know it works, but really it generally would be worth your time to convert. Huge waste of space if you don't plan on deleting it right after viewing.

Yup I had to convert a 2.5 gb vid from avi to mp4 and it was about 3.7gb

I assume you used Zune to convert it, if the end file ended up being bigger than the original.
A properly transcoded video would be significantly smaller: a 720p video has 921600 pixels per frame, as opposed to the resolution of our Titans; 480x800. A wvga video only needs 384000 pixels per frame. Therefore a 720p video is roughly 2.4x larger than it needs to be as our screens cannot display pixels it doesn't have (and that's not even taking bit rate into account). The quality will actually be slightly worse on a 720p video because it will have to be scaled down to play on the screen, whereas a properly transcoded video would be 1:1 with the pixels on the screen.
I mentioned bit rate; I don't really know what a good marker for bit rate is, but when transcoding to a smaller resolution, you don't want to keep the original bit rate: that has to go down too. Bit rate plays into file size significantly, so in reality any 720p video is much more than 2.4x bigger than it needs to be.
I guess one of these days I'll play around with a transcoder and make a thread about how to properly convert a video for WP7.

Is it possible to increase fps in sgs2 video camera at lower resolution?

Hey guys, i take my phone on trips to take snapshots and videos are 2 of the list of reasons, the quality is pretty great when taking videos too but what bugs me is the 30fps limit, it doesnt semm to be 30 at all, its more like 24 or less because everytime i change the angle even slowly the image gets all shaky and blurry (nothing to do with the autofocus) that makes me think its something to do with the low fps limit but in case im not anyone knows how to avoid it?
Also when im taking lower resolution videos like 720p the fps is still 30, is there no way to change it to 60fps at lower resolution?
Thanks in advance!
At the moment its not possible to increase the framerate over 30fps.
I have a Samsung Wave capable of record at [email protected],I miss this capability in the Samsung Galaxy S2, I think it could do it at higher resolution.
If you cant record in stable 30fps in the Galaxy S2 look at this thread:

Meh, many problems with this phone regarding camera, its such a shame it has so much freaking potential... and yet they decided to let it rot with its issues.
I guess ive learned my lesson with samsung, probably will go for Sony next time but i hate the fact that i wont get OLED screen.
Thank you for your reply and for showing me that thread
Have you Tried lg camera app? It has the option to record with more fps @ lower resolution. You can give it a try

Native Nexus 10 Video

Does anybody know where I could download high quality 2560x1600 native videos? I really want to see the Nexus 10's screen in full glory! I've searched on Google but couldn't find anything.
Thanks
On a side note: Am I the only slightly bothered by how 1080p videos look on the nexus 10? I completely understand why they look the way they do and in all fairness they still look really good but no where near as crisp on a native 1080p display. I guess the screen resolution is ahead of its time since no there is no video content available for consumer purchase above 1080p (at least from what ive seen). But I still LOVE the screen! :good:

1080p seems immaculate to me, not sure what tablet you're comparing too, but a high quality blu-ray rip isn't that distinguishable from 1600/1440p stuff.

Agreed, I ripped my Sky fall bluray copy to MP4 @ 2.5gb and it looks amazing

youtube has 1080p video samples. youtube also 1440 stuff.
they both look amazing...

Timescapes.org. you can purchase it in the 1440p version... It looks AMAZING on the N10... There is a full 4k version but it is higher red than n10 lol

s2 movies

my cellphone have "zoom" when i film at full HD resolution - 1920x1080, and filming with 720p it's normal.
720p - videobam . com/mglIZ
1080p - videobam . com/IehLG
(remove the spaces)
Now, my question is, Is my cellphone good, or have a problem?
the S2 can record 720p or 1080p but can take 8mp (3456x2304 almost 4k hahaha) pictures ;D
so... its good :highfive: don't worry
