When I record audio with the MediaRecorder, I am consistently getting .65 seconds of dead space before the recording starts. It appears as if the file gets passed for some reason. Does anyone know why and better yet, how to eliminate this?

I've tried recording video using MediaRecorder API but the file that gets saved each time is of 0 bytes.
I use the MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); ad then recorder.setVideoSource . . .recorder.prepare() to generate the preview and when the user clicks record, i say recorder.start() but the file recorded is of 0 bytes. And after some time, recorder.stop() -on user click that is.
I want to output Android's camera output to a PC through Wifi or Internet.
I cant find a suitable app for the purpose. I did try to find one.
Closest I came to was MirrorOp Sender, but it shares screen?

Does anyone know how to use the MediaRecorder to API to capture video?
I am writing an application where I want to be able to capture video. I am trying to use the MediaRecorder API in 1.5, which is supposed to support video capture. However, there are no examples in the documentation on how to use this API for video (only for audio, and that works perfect). Basically what I do is the following:
CODE:...............
This gives me the following error: E/CameraInput( 37): No surface is available for display E/MediaRecorder( 7609): prepare failed: -2147483648
OK, so I have to have a surface to preview the video? Could be useful I guess, but not something I really need.
Could I use the VideoView widget for this, or is that only for playback?
Or am I supposed to use a SurfaceView to preview the video? I saw someone use that to capture images, but they used android.hardware.Camera to open the camera and capture a frame, and did not use MediaRecorder.
HOw to capture video, or even better have some example code?
With reference to this discussion, does this mean that simultaneous Record and Playback with Mediarecorder and Mediaplayer is not possible at this point?

Actually, I am able to record the video,and able to store it into sdcard. Now I want to it to stream (live stream) to server rather than storing it.
I'm using MediaRecorder.setOutputFile(FileDescriptor fd) over a UNIX socket, so that local code on the device can see the encoded stream in real time (for video streaming out).
What I observed is that the encoder doesn't write encoded frames continuously, when they are produced, but by "bursts", exactly one second apart. I tried both containers (THREE_GPP and MPEG_4) and all three available codecs (MPEG_4_SP, H263, H264), the behavior is always the same. This one-second period is notably unrelated to framerate or bitrate, so it is not flushing by size; rather, it seems to be flushing by time (possibly to mask SD card write overheads ? Bummer, I 'm not using the SD here !). Is it a known limitation ? Is there a known workaround ?
Is anyone else experiencing poor playback quality on files recorded with MediaRecorder? Is there a way to improve this?

Above code is just an example.. If you do not understand my question, please tell me.. i will explain clearly with actual code..
What all i want to know is "In which state the MediaRecorder is?" -> recording/released/prepared/initial/etc..
Can you please tell me how can I keep the MediaRecorder keeps recording after an orientation change? I try looking into source code of packages/apps/SoundRecorder/src/com/android/soundrecorder/Recorder.java, I don't see it handles that cases.

CODE:.....................
I am trying to use the MediaRecorder to record audio. I read the documentation at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html on how to use the MediaRecorder and then tried the sample code given in the documentation for recording audio which is:
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); recorder.setOutputFile(PATH_NAME); recorder.prepare(); recorder.start(); // Recording is now started ... recorder.stop(); recorder.reset(); // You can reuse the object by going back to setAudioSource() step recorder.release(); // Now the object cannot be reused
However this code doesn't seem to work. The second line throws an exception when I execute the code. If I execute the following two lines of code:
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
It throws a RuntimeException on the call to setAudioSource with the exception message "setAudioSource failed." I am running this on my T- Mobile HTC G1 Android device which is running Android v1.6
I have searched a number of forums for entries about "MediaRecorder" or "setAudioSource" and have found that a number of other people have also posted that they are having a similar problem. However no one has responded to any of the posts which I found regarding this issue.
I would appreciate some help if anyone knows why the MediaRecorder is not working as documented or can provide information on how to get past this exception.
I'm trying to use android.media.MediaRecorder to record video, and no matter what I do the android runtime segmentation faults when I call prepare().
Here's an example:
CODE:....................
I am trying to write a sample program to record the video (say camcorder application). When i run my program using the emulator (I have android-sdk- windows-1.5_r3) I see java.io.IOException: prepare failed. error in logcat output.
Further I can see that I have came across this error when i call MediaRecorder.prepare() from CamcorderActivity.surfaceCreated() But I am surprised to see that activity got launched and I am seeing the camera preview! Again the preview is seen only in half of the screen! Its weird!!!
Further when i do recorder.start() to record the video I get java.lang.IllegalStateException. Yes this is obvious since the prepare () has failed. But the question is why prepare() has failed ?
Here is my code ... package com.example;

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've implemented "Audio Capture Setup and Start" example (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html) with small modification - the output format is MPEG_4 not THREE_GPP.
The result - records with extremely poor audio quality.
Could you help me to understand where is error and how is possible to do really good audio records with Android?
I've done an experiment with Camcorder - standard Android application. Sound quality of the video is same poor. The audio signal is extremely low (quite).
Is it "by design" or may be some hardware problem (T-Mobile G1)?
I've found description similar problem here - http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-06/msg00752.html - "Microphone audio capture with emulator is of very poor quality". In my case this problem reproduces on the real device. Unfortunately I have not found answer. I read about some "custom" encoders.. but have not found any example how implement them.
I have a question regarding the Android MediaRecorder -
My test device
HTC Desire HD
Firmware 2.3.5
I want to write an app, which records a video. This should be implementet via the MediaRecorder (not via Intents). On the Google-Developers site I found a "tutorial" [URL]
My problem:
I followed the whole tutorial. When I'm starting my application on my test device it throws an exception ("start failed") at recorder.start() if I set the quality to high (CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH). If I change the setting to QUALITY_LOW the app starts recording for 1-2 seconds. After that the screen freezes and my LogCat tracks the following errors:
media server died!
camera server died
ICamera died
I also get ERROR 100
I am building a camera app, where videos are continuously being captured and saved to the SD card. The videos are short (few minutes), and their length are preset with setMaxDuration().
The whole process works fine, while the main activity is in the foreground. But, when I go to another activity (e.g. settings), the video recording works in the background only until max duration is reached. The file is saved, but a new sequence can not be started
because prepare() fails, apparently because setPreviewDisplay() doesn't like not having a proper surface to attach to.
I tried to use a dummy Surface, a dummy SurfaceHolder, lockCanvas(), and various other tricks, but nothing works. Is there a way to initialize MediaRecorder without a valid surface?
I want to get the booting log. But when I use the logcat, I can't get the whole info. In file dalvik/libcore/x-net/src/main/java/org/apache/harmony/xnet/ provider/jsse/SSLParameters.java, I added "java.util.logging.Logger.global.log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, "SSLParameters.getDefault() is called");" in the function getDefault () . But when I use the logcat, I can't get the sentence "SSLParameters.getDefault() is called". I can test that the function is surely called. Why? How can I get the info?Thanks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to make LogCat's output to appear in Console view in Eclipse? LogCat view is much less convenient that Console, because it's hard to see long messages in it (they are trimmed by column border) and there are no clickable highlighting in exception stack traces to quickly navigate to source of error. Just to make clear - I'd like to have clickable stacktraces, like the ones in normal Eclipse console so I can quickly navigate to the source of error.
