The StreamRecorder API provides functions for StreamRecorder with buffer including media packet.

Required Header

#include <streamrecorder.h>

Overview

The StreamRecorder API allows application developers to support using the video or audio recorder. It includes functions that record video or audio and supports to set up notifications for state changes of creation, prepared, record, pause, information about resolution and binary data format, and functions for artistic.

The StreamRecorder API allows creation of components required in recording video or audio including:

selecting a proper output format
controlling the StreamRecorder state
getting supported formats and video resolutions

The StreamRecorder API also notifies you (by callback mechanism) when a significant parameter changes.

Difference

Basically, the StreamRecorder API can help easily to make video/audio content same as the Recorder API.

However, the StreamRecorder API is different from Recorder API.
The StreamRecorder API is able to record user buffer from application. This allows the user to make unique contents with a purpose.

It is recommended that you look into the features related to the APIs in your application for reliability. You can check if a device supports the required features for this API by using System Information, thereby controlling the procedure of your application. To ensure that your application is running on the device supporting specific features, declare the required features in your manifest file using the manifest editor in the SDK. For more information about featuring your application, see Feature Element.
