I want to make a video recording function.

I want to make a video recording function like ‘mp4 or wav or avi’ extension.

Is there any library provided?

If there is, please recommend it.

@jafal

Thank you for your answer.

1. ipcapture library: Good.

- It’s really good for viewing mjpeg protocol.

1. However, what I want is a video recording function.

- I need a function to record images or videos in real time.

Give this a try:

I now get this instead of an error: I have not installed FFmpeg to test if it works past this point. UPDATE I installed FFmpeg and it now saves a movie but it has this issue: [NullPointerException: it must no…](https://github.com/hamoid/video_export_processing/issues/72)

You could try the Video Export library by @hamoid. It can be installed from the Contributions Manager.

Hi! If that version doesn’t work you can try a newer one: [GitHub - hamoid/video\_export\_processing at kotlinGradle](https://github.com/hamoid/video_export_processing/tree/kotlinGradle) (but then you can’t use the Contributions Manager). Cheers!
