For soon to be released firmware update by 6by9. See https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1762548#p1762548 for more details. Level specs based on https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-H.264-201906-I

@dustinkerstein have you tested this with 1920x1440 video capture, and does it work?

Did 6by9 merge their patch? The libcamera-vid app documentation also seems to indicate that only levels 4, 4.1, and 4.2 are available. So I'm thinking the answer is no.

The firmware patch to allow selection of levels 5.0 and 5.1 was merged.

There was a thread recently at https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=1984364#p1984364 where I looked at increasing the resolution beyond the 8192 macroblock/frame limit of level 4.1, and it gives corruption in the macroblocks that exceed that limit.
If it doesn't work, then there is little point in enabling it.
