2. Make a copy of "media_profiles.xml" ( in case you want to restore it )

3. edit "media_profiles.xml" and change the following line from

-----

<EncoderProfile quality="high" fileFormat="mp4" duration="60">

<Video codec="h264"

bitRate="3000000"

Thanks, worked a treat. I did need to run adb remount as well though, as it complained that the filesystem was read-only.

How safe is the 30fps option ?

I mean... for the CPU & stuff.

I'm willing to stay at the 4:3 resolution and have 30fps instead of fullscreen at 24 :rolleyes:

There shouldn't be any problems. However, it will generate larger files which takes longer to save. I've been using for a couple of days now. No issues so far.
