GC110 Galaxy Camera and ODK Collect video

I tried taking some video inside a ODK collect form with the subject camera
in the store today. The video was very low resolution. :frowning:

Then tried to take video outside of the ODK Collect, with the same camera
and the came out HD quality. :slight_smile:

Does ODK Collect set the camera at a lower resolution automatically? Is
that setting changeable so that I can get the full HD while taking video
inside a ODK Collect form?

Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,

Collect does not explicitly set video quality and I think that's why
Android defaults to low quality. It's a pretty easy fix -- the core
team just needs to add the EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY=1 intent extra to the
video widget, and maybe add a preference for folks who want might want
low quality video.

I've filed the issue at
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=953. Star it to
get updates. If this is an urgent feature, hire a developer from
http://opendatakit.org/help/help-for-hire.
