Html5 video recording and upload?

Question

I need to create an app that can record video using a webcam or mobile camera (it needs to be cross platform).

So far I have written a small proof of concept using webrt

Answer 1

The only cross platform web video recorder is the HDFVR webcam video recorder software.

It uses Flash (records using Flash codecs + streams to a media server) on the desktop and the HTML Media Capture API (record using OS + upload to webserver) on mobile to record video from pretty much any desktop or mobile browser.

You can link it to a ffmpeg installation to convert everything to a cross platform format like MP4 (iOS records to a .mov container that doesn't play on Android) and it also has a JS API.
