Video recording advice needed

[nuker85]

Hello,
i need an advice about video recording and break between two records.

I have already done video recording in my application using CVideoRecorderUtility but what i need is to reduce to minimum time between two recordings.
I just want to save video after 5min of recording but all the time keep recording.
In my application after 5 min i stop recording and start it again and i have got 5 min length video but the problem is that when video is saved to file for few seconds (it depends on video size) nothing is recorded.

How can i solve it?

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can't really fix this using CVideoRecorderUtility, since the delays are just part of how it works.

These are your only options (as I see it anyway):
1) Record a long clip and split it afterwards.
2) Use the Media Recorder API (in the SDK plug-in pack) for continuous streaming and handle all the segmenting and writing to files yourself.

Hope that helps,

Hello and thanks for your response.

So it looks like that i can t use CVideoRecorderUtility.

1) Record a long clip and split it afterwards.

Will not work in my case

2) Use the Media Recorder API (in the SDK plug-in pack) for continuous streaming and handle all the segmenting and writing to files yourself.

Seems to be solution which i am searching for. Have you got any links or examples how to use this API ?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, not that I'm aware of. The documentation on the plug-in pack APIs is mostly non-existent. A few people have got things working with it and there are some posts detailing their issues on this discussion board if you search for them.
