According to the videographer on youtube (and google translate), it seems there is a hardware regulator he accessed by removing the rear cover and battery, and there is some reference to a silver tray so maybe the battery tray covers something interesting.

this is just a random idea that probably won't work be heres what i come up with.
as vlc 1.1 now uses the dsp is there a way we could make it access/open the camera and capture it to a file and achieve 720p this way, or contact/help the vlc devs to see if this would be possible to do or add?
thanks

I really hope someone comes up with a fix for this soon, it's driving me nuts.

It's such a shame to have such an advanced piece of equipment capable of so much but has issues when it comes to simple video recording.

It has issues with an OC N900, no relief there.

It is, however, MUCH better on internal storage. I can see it stutter, but it drops one frame, not 10

If Samsung can do it with the same hardware using Symbian S60 OS, why can't Nokia do it.
Why can't Motorola do it (the Droid as shipped also does not do 720p) ? Samsung is secret saucing there. The hardware is originally NOT meant for 720p and TI is not selling it as such. Whether they cheat, funk with frame or bitrate, have extra hardware besides the OMAP3, I don't know, but the 3430 is no HD chip.

As for stutters - my experience is that it happens due to either swapping or some background tasks mucking around (usually it's not the task per se but the disk activity is generates).

I'd be happier even if the current 848x480 res is made to record smoothly than how it does now but I guess its up to Nokia

Why do you want poor 720p30 quality like this???

iPhone 4 son of an apple:

Omnia HD is the same:

Galaxy S:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIcRhyu2Gc8

These aren't real HD 720p30 quality!

Compare it to the real HD 720p30:

I don't want sh** 720p recording for my N900. It only drains the battery hellfast!

I'm not sure what it does, but I've noticed a big improvement from setting "Show captured video" from "For 4 seconds" to "No."
