How to record videos with LG G2 Mini with a lower quality or resolution? Is there a way to force the camera app of the LG G2 Mini to record videos that don't take up a large number of mb for just a few seconds of video? I think it's recording at 1080p, or some other high number. I can't record pass 1 minute it seems, or it'll take up near 1gb of memory (or maybe 500mb, I can't remember).

I looked at the settings of the camera, and apparently there's no other resolutions available, aside from the one that allows for records of .3gp (I think?), but it has a 30 second limit.

Is there an app that allows one to record videos at a lower resolution?

I believe I tried months ago to follow some tutorial where you'll have to edit a system file, but it doesn't work. 

So if someone can direct me to a tutorial to deal with this issue or an app it would be greatly appreciated :D I can literally not use my cellphone for video recording for any normal purpose due to the recordings hogging up a huge amount of memory. It's been months since I last attempted to video record anything.
Note: This is a partial answer to address the issue using an alternative app.

In my OnePlus One, I use Cinema FV-5. It shows me following recording resolutions:


4096x2160 8.8 MP 4K UHD
3840x2160 8.3 MP 16:9 4K UHD
1920x1080 2.1 MP 16:9 Full HD
1440x1080 1.6 MP 4:3
1280x720  0.9 MP 16:9 HD
864x480   0.4 MP SD
800x480   0.4 MP 15:9 SD
720x480   0.3 MP 3:2 NTSC SD
640x480   0.3 MP 4:3 SD
480x320   0.2 MP 3:2
384x288   0.1 MP 4:3
352x288   0.1 MP
320x240   0.1 MP 4:3
176x144   0 MP


Google Camera on the other hand allows my device to record at 4K, 1080p and 720p. I'll update my answer if I come to know any other app with varied resolutions capability.



Update 1: Suggested by @Mani, the app is Open Camera(Libre software, free, &lt; 1MB in size). Resolutions are more or less same in variety as Cinema FV-5 has.
