POminimizing the video file size when capturing a video in windows phone 8
text
Body
copied!<p>I am recording a video in my app and uploading it to a server. The app is working fine for small videos but if the video is longer than 10 seconds the video size becomes very big and the app crashes.</p> <p>How can I minimize the size of the video? Can I set the resolution? Can I also compress the video? </p> <p>What else do you recommend I do to make sure the video is not gigantic?</p> <p>Here is my code : </p> <pre><code>Public Sub InitializeVideoRecorder() If captureSource Is Nothing Then ' Create the VideoRecorder objects. captureSource = New CaptureSource() fileSink = New FileSink() videoCaptureDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultVideoCaptureDevice() ' Add eventhandlers for captureSource. AddHandler captureSource.CaptureFailed, AddressOf OnCaptureFailed ' Initialize the camera if it exists on the device. If videoCaptureDevice IsNot Nothing Then ' Create the VideoBrush for the viewfinder. videoRecorderBrush = New VideoBrush() videoRecorderBrush.SetSource(captureSource) ' Display the viewfinder image on the rectangle. viewfinderRectangle.Fill = videoRecorderBrush ' Start video capture and display it on the viewfinder. captureSource.Start() ' Set the button state and the message. UpdateUI(ButtonState.Initialized, "") Else ' Disable buttons when the camera is not supported by the device. UpdateUI(ButtonState.CameraNotSupported, "A camera is not supported on this device.") End If End If End Sub </code></pre>
