To be a bit more specific, I am looking for a screen-recording solution so that I can get a video of the user's interaction with the app interface. Connecting the phone to any device such as a computer to do the recording is not an option.
Here is a sample gif that I created using a Mac screen recorder to record the iOS simulator interface. It gives a rough idea of what I would like to achieve on Android, except for the fact that I would like the same to be from the actual phone (not the emulator) and without having to connect the phone to a computer or any other device.
Is there a way to get the best quality of video recording possible using MediaRecorder? the camcorder app does a lot better in terms of quality.

we got a requirement to record video from front and rear cameras simultaniously.. In the Android 2.1 SDK we only have the MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA and DEFAULT, but not FRONT_CAMERA and REAR_CAMERA. So, is there any other way to record from Front camera.. like any third party API's.

View 25 Replies View RelatedI'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'm researching the development of an Android (2.2) app/service that will enable users to record short (I do emphasize short, < 30seconds) video on their phones and then upload that video (HTTP) to a server that will then transcode the video to other formats. That same user can download videos from other Android users and play them.
Now, I get a bit lost with everyones recommended approaches to all the issues in doing something like this because I haven't seen any ask this in a cohesive context. Ideally I would like a non commercial solution to this (as in no vendor/service being needed for the the video hosting/transcoding), but, feel free to include those as a recommendation (I've marked this as a wiki) as I know many like to use youtube and vimeo for the middle layer in all this.
The questions are
What server technologies do yo recommend for hosting and transcoding? What technology do you recommend for streaming the video (it would be nice to offer a high and low quality encoding depending on the users network connection) What video format and software do you recommend for converting the uploaded video on the server to be viewable later by other Android owners. Im assuming it's bad to do any transcoding on the phone prior to upload (battery/proc issues), but, if I'm wrong with that assumption what do you recommend?
The video will only need to render on an Android device, and in the future in a webkit html5 browser.
Bandwidth isnt cheap (even with numerous 30 second videos), so a good mix of video quality and video file size is important (streaming if needed to ensure quality vs. download). This is for android 2.2 devices with a video camera of course and medium to high density screen of 800x400 min. Open source solutions (server to receive the uploads, code to do the transcoding, server to do the streaming) are preferred, but not required. CDN's are an option, but I don't think that really figures in to the picture right now.
I need to record audio and video files in 3gp/mp4 format at the same file and same time.

To do this, simply download "LED Desire Light" in the market, then enable the light after install. Now press the home button and bring up the camera. Set to video and voila! You've got a nice video flashlight for night capturing. Just be sure to go back to the LED Desire Light prog to disable it after use.

I've had my Incredible for a few weeks now, love it, been stalking these forums reading whatever I can when I can, last night I went and took a video(s) of a fire I had in my yard(fire pit, not an Oh shit, Fire!) to send my girlfriend to rub in the fact that she was working,First video was 15 seconds, second 5, neither would send. They said the file size was too large, are there settings I have to change to be able to send videos?.My buddy has a Moto Droid, its got a MMS setting, I can't seem to find that on the Incredible.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my new galaxy note (i717) on friday (immediately flashing it with OnlyOne beta 2 (ics)) and I would like to use it for a bit of podcasting using the front camera to record myself while I read text from some teleprompter software.
I can record video from the front camera just fine, and it actually comes out a bit higher quality than I expected even, but for the life of me, when i hit the record button and then switch away from the camera app to the prompter app, it gives me an audio notification that the camera has stopped recording.
is there prompter software that has an integrated video recorder? (that'd be pretty sweet imho) or better, some way to record video while another app (that's not particularly resource intensive) is in use? - I don't mind trimming and cutting the video together (there are actually some pretty decent editing tools for android i've found) but I can't figure out a way to record and prompt at the same time...
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 have been trying to figure out for like the past 30 minutes and I dont know what to do.
