Answer 1

if you are using os 2.2 or higher then use this method your prepare failed and other exception will removed

 public boolean startRecording() {
    try {
        camera.unlock();

        mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
        mediaRecorder.setCamera(camera);
        mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
        mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
        mediaRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile
                .get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH));

        File tempFile = new File(getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO)
                .toString());

        mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(tempFile.getPath());
        mediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(videoFramesPerSecond);
        mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(surfaceView.getWidth(),
                surfaceView.getHeight());
        mediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder.getSurface());
        mediaRecorder.setMaxFileSize(maxFileSizeInBytes);
        mediaRecorder.prepare();
        mediaRecorder.start();

        return true;
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}
