HTML Media Capture

Hi.


When usign the HTML Media Capture system by adding <input type="file" accept="video/" capture="camera"> it correctly shows the options to either record video or select a video from the library, but how do I (either as the web developer or the end user ) what quality video is uploaded?


When I record video using this on my iPhone 6S Plus it only uploads a tiny 360x480 video file. Exactly the same script on an ancient Samsung Galaxy SII running 4.0 Android uploads 1080p video without problems.


Similarly on my iPhone, when selecting a video from the library it compresses it to 720p without me asking it to.



Is there a way to change this and allow higher quality video uploads to my website?
