From Odwiki

You can customize the resolutions that appear in the menu next to the Resolution fields in ROPs, CameraObjects and LightObjects by placing an edited copy of the $HFS/FBres file somewhere in your HOUDINI_PATH. The format of this file is very easy to understand and there are comments in the file to describe the different parameters.

Here's a copy of the FBres menu for editing...

   #
   #  This table contains a list of useful resolutions.
   #
   #  The first argument should contain 3 values.
   #       xres
   #       yres
   #       pixel aspect ratio
   #
   #  These choices are used to build menus in the UI.
   #
   #  This file can be overridden by installing a copy somwhere in the
   #  Houdini path.
