By milaq:

well, i agree with you to some point.

a functional hd preset would definately ease testing possible encoding capabilities.
although, a stuttery preset is not what we should have in mind for the end user; imagine a situation where you want to quickrecord something and accidentially use the (at this point very laggy) hd preset, you would end up having a bad recording which is not fun to view.

what i suggest now, is that we temporary disable the "hd" preset and reset the "high" preset to w800 instead of w720. that way the hd preset could easily be reenabled when true hd recording is possible on leo.

for testing one would only need to copy over another version of media_profiles in which the hd preset is enabled.

i agree that a recording preset labeled "hd" should record at true hd only. but on the other hand a preset should only exist (be selectable), if it is working flawlessly (i.e. no dropped frames).

cheers,
michael
