Opencamera Video recording using the Full Sensor size at 4:3 aspect ratio maximum resolution #118

Can you guys please add a aspect ratio with 4:3 using the Entire Camera sensor of a smartphone to record a video at 12-13MP video. . As the max resolution currently supported is at 16:9 aspect ratio at a mere 8MP only and I don't want the remaining sensor getting cropped out and wish to utilise that cropped out frame space too.

Hey @pandiyan07 , interesting issue and I had a similar thing in mind. The issue here is not software but the hardware. In smartphone camera sensors, only a few pixels are capable to capture video. This is why your video is always more cropped as compared to your photos. The maximum fps possible for a full sensor capture is usually the burst photo fps that u get (9-11 fps) which is way lower then the minimum considerable fps for a video (24 fps). If (When someone bolds the IF like this, it basically means no and never) the smartphone companies get a sensor that can do full frame at 24 or more fps, only in that case would this be possible. (So, basically it is never happening) This wont happen mainly because there is no need for the same since most value from a image-processing team is from... the image-processing rather then squeezing every last pixel.

However, it is a very interesting thought Happy coding, Keep thinking :)
