I wasn't happy with any of the solutions provided here. Here's an extremely simple solution that will save the video in folder of your choice.

private static final int REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURE = 300;
private Uri videoUri;

private void dispatchVideoIntent(){
    Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
    File outputFile = new File("your file path goes here");
    videoUri = Uri.fromFile(outputFile);
    takeVideoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, videoUri);
    if (takeVideoIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivityForResult(takeVideoIntent, REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && videoUri != null) {
            // do what you want with videoUri
    }
}
