First of all this guide:
U can use any video as video wallpaper.
Create .videowallpaper folder inside MIUI folder (need to make sure you have this dot in front)
Copy any video of your choice inside this folder (format needs to be .mp4)
Tap and Hold on any space on your desktop to show the icon rearrange menu
Tap on wallpaper on bottom left
Tap on the little round "smiley face" button on the bottom right
Now that "Wallpapers" option shows up. Tap on it.
Choose "My wallpaper movies"
The mp4 file(s) you have downloaded will show up here. Pick one and enjoy !
What is this guide good for without some actual video wallpapers, right? I am a stickler for seamless looping wallpapers. Here are 2 that I have found so far that I like:

Yep, this is nice.
Video files resolution for best visual effect should be phone display native 1080 x 2340 pixels.

How can you convert to a personalozed resolution with VLC? I cant't see the option.
EDIT: Ok, I think I got it.
EDIT2: The problem is that the video doesn't loop...

Then You didn't make something as it should during converting.
Did you choose right video-audio codec?
Media > Convert\Save > +Add > Convert (Alt+O)
In Settings check Convert > Display output
In Profile choose Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4)
Click on fork wrench icon and select in:
Encaplulation: MP4/MOV
Video codec > Encoding parameters > Codec: H-264, Bitrate: Not Used, Quality: Not Used, Frame rate: Same as source
Resolution: Scale: Auto, Width: 1080px, Height: 2340px
Audio codec: Audio > Keep original audio track
Save!
After that in Destination file option choose where You would like to save this new created MP4 file!
And that's it!
Video loops automatically and there is no need to create any kind of special "loop video", this automatically makes player which plays this video on phone home and lock screen backgrounds.

No wrong not a perfect fit, X10 screen is 480 x 854.
I use Videora with a custom profile (480 x 854), which is a perfect fit.
i use SUPER
but can anyone give me the optimum resolution / framerate for conversion ?

Google -> Handbrake....
There: iPhone Preset with some little changes:
Framerate like source, screenratio like said before, 2-pass encoding at 1500 - 2000 kb/s, Sound at 2-ch + 192kb/s played on RockPlayer.

Just setup a custom profile. Use Magic say then customize it how you like, hit edit profile and under video you can type in whatever resolution you want.
I'm using Xilisoft Video Convertor. Been using it since my K750i days. Still a happy user =D

Why take all the pain bro.
Just install mobo player (free) from market.
In the settings, just select default soft decoding.
Drag and drop any files you want (read it as literally any video formats except very old ones like .vob and stuff).
Just play it.
And the quality is awesome !
there's no way to convert videos direclty ON the phone ? i guess CPU power is to low... or maybe over Multimedia processor which encodes the Video recording ?
Simple:
Freemake Video Converter
- very user friendly interface
- supports a wide range of input formats
- hassle-free
- can burn in subs but not as good as HandBrake does; styled subs are messed up
Advanced:
HandBrake
- supports burning in embedded SSA subs in mkv files
- supports a wide range of input formats
- truckload of options for x264
- fully multithreaded (you got 8 cores? it'll use it)
Which one do I use? Both.
If I want to encode a certain part (trim) of a video, I use Freemake.
If I want to encode my anime (and burn in the subtitles), I use HandBrake.
They are both well-written. Plus, you can even put 1920x87 as the resolution.
The X10 can decode both H.264 and MPEG4. If you experience stuttering and lag while playing, tell me and I'll upload a possible fix. Z's audio lag fix and custom ROMs are the cause.
Hope this helps.
Is there an app for Android that let's you customize and/or edit video like with effects and what not?
No, but there is Video Editor Light. With it you can add tittles, trim the video, and remove the sound track. To get to it go to gallery>the video you want to edit (dont play it just select it)>edit>video and it will then bring you to the video editor. So yea, it's nothing special but it's ok for making a simple video.

Hi all, I have a mod for the Potatoman/hyperX hack, which solves the 'camcorder zoomed-in at 1080p' problem, and also allows zooming at 1080p...
Because it's my first post here, I can't add a link to a new apk on the dev thread...admins, is it possible to get permission to do so?
Why don't you just paste the text for the link but with a few spaces then? It's not like people don't recognise links here just because there's a space.
Also, can't you just attach it to your post?
Sure
Download/install.
Choose 1280x720 for resolution...shoot/zoom/record etc.
Now check the properties of your recorded file...
The only catch at this stage is you lose the original 720p functionality, which wouldn't be hard to add back in with more work. Also note I'm currently using the 'super high-bitrate' settings for both the original 1080p(zoomed) mode, and this new one. I haven't had a chance to test those bitrates myself under difficult rendering conditions (daylight, detailed moving foliage/city scene etc) for stability, so can't make any guarantees in that respect.
A few commenters have mentioned being willing to donate to have this functionality, and I happen to be exceedingly broke atm Not sure if my paypal link appears yet, but any contributions would be much appreciated!
Neato burrito, but I'd like to keep my 720p functionality too. Hmm not paying for small functions like this.
Uncrippling the sgs2's fixed 2.0x zoom ratio at 1080p is a small function?

You not just taking the 720p version and resizing are you?
+ the sensor in not capable of zooming in 1080p (sensor crop) as there are no more devisions for pixel binning. So this is a digital zoom?
Post any video links as examples?
I'm sorry to say that this mod is upscaling from 720p (that you have to use to use the 1080p mod) to 1080p when you use this mod.
So the videos looks way worser than my true 1080p movies that i have recorded with my Galaxy S II.
So yeah, the mod doesn't work.
EDIT: Hold on, i'm gonna upload a short video clip to show you the difference.
EDIT 2: Here is the true 1080p recording i did on my Galaxy S II one and a half month ago. This video clip is taking 145 MB and lasts for 1 minute. Just right-click on the link and choose 'Save as'.
And here is the "fake 1080p" recording with the mod from this topic. This video clip is taking 36.5 MB and lasts for 15 seconds. Just right-click on the link and choose 'Save as' here to.

Thanks for that!
I do think the OP should mention the simple resize of 720 as not to mislead people. Especially if donations are being asked for!
Yes, you're right, deanwray and Tom-Helge.
Did some testing of my own earlier...
Ah well, was excited there for a bit.
Interesting the encoder can do different res to file on the fly, which might be useful for something or another...but that's about it.
DO NOT DONATE!

Hi all,
I'm testing what video conversion settings might be good for our Mini. So far, if I use 640-320, it either doesn't fill the screen, or if it does, the people in the video look squashed...
Anyone been testing?
i actually never convert any video since most of the video format simply plays on the phone. what player do you use? i use mxvideo player, the problem when you're converting is, its squeeze the whole frame to fit into inappropriate ratio that's why everything looked squashed.
mxvideo player gives you the zoom option, and you can choose the one that fit you best(might crop the video a bit)
WOW
I just found the BEST settings! I've tried this with my ipod classic so many times and never got it perfect...but for the Mini! Try this!!
I use Format Factory. Handbrake is also good. In format factory, I found the iphone (no idea which version, doesn't say) has the same resolution) though I searched for many devices. I selected that then edited it a tiny bit:
MPEG4(DivX)
480x320
bitrate 576 (or similar)
FPS Default
Aspect Ratio Fully Expand
Sample Rate 44100
Bitrate Default
I've been testing conversion of a 2 minute trailer, you don't want to test on a full film etc. because if it doesn't work out you will waste 1-2 hours every time it's a bad conversion... I've done about 6 tests on a film trailer and this format is absolutely perfect...the entire video is on screen, nothing is squashed, the audio is so crisp and clear...wow! Time to convert en-masse!!
p.s. I have disabled auto-brightness. I highly recommend anyone wishing to convert films etc. to do that...the screen is WAY to dark without disabling auto-brightness.
Try a trailer or other short video on the above settings and see for yourself...
have yu try a full movie & whats tha outcome?
i used xilisoft video coverter 6 ..
the setting i set to Android MP4 profile ..
change the size to 720x480 with high quality
also used a little pan and scan to zoom it a little
and at 30fps..
play it to my mini with stock video player is like watching an HD movie

Hi,
as the title suggests there is no option for recording at those resolutions.
Any ideas?
They are still there; select 'resolution' in settings/video - rear video size

Thing is that you can do it only for the first option.
Is there any way to do it for the others?
It doesn't look like, sorry. Only the 16:9 resolution has the option.
