Video capture resolution limit

[samuel3]

Unable to set resolution to 2880x1800 to record full screen on retina display

What happens if you try to set this video capture resolution?

[samuel3]

There's just no way to set it option to 2880. 1920x1440 is the upper limit. When I try to set it via VBoxManage - it also gets set to 1920x1440 as if it's an upper possible bound

Hello! Any news on this?.. should to find some soultion, if it's not gonna be fixed soon..

[Frank Mehnert]

Right, the GUI doesn't provide any resolution bigger than 1920x1440. But it should work if you use

VBoxManage modifyvm VM_NAME -videocapres 2880 1800

as permanent setting when the VM is powered off or

VBoxManage controlvm VM_NAME videocapres 2880 1800

to change the setting while the VM is running (non-permanent). Replace VM_NAME by the name of your VM.

thank you! was my fault)

The latest 5.0 OSX test build contains a fix for the GUI to raise the maximum to 2880x1800.

Fix is also part of VBox 5.0.22.
