Are the options for H.263 and mpeg4 just variants of H.263? I am running (mostly) stock Rom and it gives me the option of H.263 or MPEG4 encoding for video at 720p.

Also, in reply to OP, you have to consider that this isn't meant to replace your video camera. I have yet to see any device (and I could easily be wrong here) that records video, high def or standard def, as well as a dedicated camcorder. In good light the EVO's video is what I expect it to be. I haven't hooked it up to my TV but playback on my computer is acceptable. Maybe the iPhone 4 does better but I'd have to see a side by side comparison with video shot from both phones at the same time to say which is better.
