Video capture: can't display the video across full width on Nokia 5130, 2700

[sylvanlobo]

I am trying to capture video.
But the area in which the video is displayed while recording is very small.
Too small.

I would like to use the full width available/or fullscreen.
I have tried the setDisplaySize() and setDisplayFullScreen() of no avail.

I use Canvas to display the video with the display mode as USE_DIRECT_VIDEO.

This happens on Nokia 5130, 2700, and 6303.
But I am able to get a full width on Nokia N73, N70, 7610 Supernova with the same code.

Is this a handset specific issue?
Is there a workaround?

player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
player.addPlayerListener(this);
player.realize();
videoControl = (VideoControl)player.getControl("VideoControl");
if (videoControl != null){
	videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO, canvas);
	videoControl.setDisplayLocation(0,0);
	videoControl.setDisplaySize(canvas.getWidth(),canvas.getHeight());
	//videoControl.setDisplayFullScreen(true);
	videoControl.setVisible(true);
}
player.start();

It would be great if someone could give me an insight.

Thanks,
Sylvan

i am facing same problem

following code works on S60 series but not working in S40 series

code return me null

byte[] photo = videoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=jpeg&quality=100&width=300&height=300");


and i lave last option to use following code which gives lesser quality and small size image

byte[] photo = videoControl.getSnapshot(null);

can anyone suggest what is wrong with S40 or my code???

Thanks,

that code is perfectly working and giving good quality image in S60 Series.

I think my code works on series 40 6th edition phones and series 60 phones
Please excuse my initial comment where I mentioned that it doesn't work on 6303. It does.

@mihirpalkhiwala:
The problem might be in the width and height being in square format.
Only certain width and heights work, in my experience: in the ratio of 4:3
Or the encoding: Try image/jpg instead of jpeg
In my code this encoding works: encoding=image/jpg&width=240&height=320&quality=60
