Hi Mark

I've got some questions for you regarding MediaRecorder

Ah, ok

Well I've found some limitiations that I've been trying to overcome.

Basically, I'm trying to use it to record video continuously, but save to multiple small output files.

I can set the output file name through the provided method, and start and stop the recording fine.

The only way I can change the output file though seems to require that I reset the MediaRecorder object and go through the prepare process again

This ends up with too large of a gap between files.

There is a onPreviewFrame callback that supplies raw data, but it is too expensive to handle managing the raw data through that and writing to a file.

Also, two concurrent MediaRecorder object do not work.

Thought you may have some advice how to achieve this.

Yeah, I've thought about that as well but haven't tried to implement.

would require inserting a video header to each file I try to create

Do you know anything about the opencore libs like pvauthor?

hmm, ok. It seems those lower level libs that MediaRecorder is built on have methods that could close the stream and change output file without re-initing

I haven't done any C++ for Android though

working with the video capture?

ah, ok

well, thanks -- I guess I'll try to implement the other method first.

No problem -- thanks!

Be back soon I'm sure :)
