capture of video in video/3gpp encoding on N95

[sj314]

Hi

Im trying to write proper application on N95 to capture video in available encodings for N95.

To detects which codecs available for capturing I'm using

String[] act = Manager.getSupportedContentTypes("capture");

so results is
video/3gpp
video/3gpp2
video/mp4

so my locators were

capture://video?encoding=3gpp
capture://video?encoding=3gpp2
capture://video?encoding=mp4

All the time Im getting MediaException : Not supported

Only way to make video is using
capture://video
then it's creating player. When I tried to detect content type it detected as video/3gpp.

Any ideas how to use all supported encodings?

Thanks

Hi again

Just want to add that similar story for audio codecs.
while it showing available for capturing

audio/amr
audio/basic
audio/x-au
audio/wav
audio/au
audio/x-basic

player only created for audio/amr

The video encoding format is somewhat hardcoded with the resolution, like this:
176x144, 15 fps - 3gp
352x288, 15 fps - mp4 (not supported on N95)
320x240, 15 fps - mp4
640x480, 30 fps - mp4

So if you want more than 176x144, the format will always be mp4 (that's at least my experience when dealing with video formats in Symbian C++).

I think the only way to change from the default quality (176x144) is to use CameraControl in AMMS (JSR 234), this of course assumes your device supports AMMS.
