Recording video with 6600?

[tuomasjh]

Is recording of video possible in 6600? Capturing/recording of audio works fine, but I can't get the recording of video working.

This will capture audio well:
--
player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio?encoding=gsm");
output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
player.realize();
recordControl = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
recordControl.setRecordStream(output);
recordControl.startRecord();
player.start();
...
recordControl.commit();
player.close();
byte [] audio = output.toByteArray();
--

Showing the live video on display works. But when trying to record video, the RecordControl.setRecordStream() method will throw a NullPointerException.
--
player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
player.realize();
videoControl = (VideoControl)(player.getControl("VideoControl"));
recordControl = (RecordControl)(player.getControl("RecordControl"));
recordControl.setRecordStream(output);//this line will throw an Exception. Worked with audio capture, but not in here.
...
recordControl.startRecord();
player.start();
--

Also System.getProperty("video.encodings") doesn't return anything.

Yes, seems that 6600 does not support video recording. I suppose the Player returns null when you try to obtain the RecordControl. Try grabbing all the controls with getControls() & show them in canvas or something to find out what controls you have when capturing video.

Jep, when capturing video, getControls() returns only VideoContol. So that's it.

This question is especially for the NOKIA Experts out There, and original poster!
Does this mean that it is impossible to write a seperate video recording application for the 6600?
I am most interested in learning if you can extend the recording time / size limit. Is this Possible?
Thank you very much
