Get/modify frames while recording mp4 with MediaRecorder
I am recording mp4 with the following code. But while I am recording,
1- is it possible get frames of video in real time in array Data or another format?
2- is it possible to modify frames? For example, to invert the colors and make it look negative.
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener, SurfaceHolder.Callback {
MediaRecorder recorder;
SurfaceHolder holder;
boolean recording = false;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
initRecorder();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SurfaceView cameraView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView1);
holder = cameraView.getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
cameraView.setClickable(true);
cameraView.setOnClickListener(this);
}
private void initRecorder() {
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT);
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT);
CamcorderProfile cpHigh = CamcorderProfile
.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH);
recorder.setProfile(cpHigh);
recorder.setOutputFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/video.mp4");
recorder.setMaxDuration(50 * 1000); // 50 seconds
recorder.setMaxFileSize(5 * 1000000); // Approximately 5 megabytes
}
private void prepareRecorder() {
recorder.setPreviewDisplay(holder.getSurface());
try {
recorder.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finish();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finish();
}
}
public void onClick(View v) {
if (recording) {
recorder.stop();
recording = false;
// Let's initRecorder so we can record again
initRecorder();
prepareRecorder();
} else {
recording = true;
recorder.start();
}
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
prepareRecorder();
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
if (recording) {
recorder.stop();
recording = false;
}
recorder.release();
finish();
}
}
Answer
I used JavaCV library (which wraps FFMPEG and OpenCV) for editing Frames. Capture frames on onPreviewFrame and record them through FFMPEG recorder.
Following is the RecordActivity.java sample.
public class RecordActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private final static String CLASS_LABEL = "RecordActivity";
private final static String LOG_TAG = CLASS_LABEL;
