Android: Modifying recorded video quality

Question

I\'m using MediaRecorder to record a video. It isn\'t clear to me what parameters I should be using to change the quality of the image, assuming the size of the video remain

Answer 1

try this one u can solve problem

mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT); 
mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AAC);
mediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264);

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/file.mp4";
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(path);

Answer 2

You have to increase video encoding bit rate to increase the video quality using setVideoEncodingBitRate() in MediaRecorder.

mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264);

mRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate(4000000);`

Answer 3

You can try using

recorder.setVideoSize(640, 480);
recorder.setVideoFrameRate(16); //might be auto-determined due to lighting
recorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate(3000000);
recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264);// MPEG_4_SP
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);

or

 CamcorderProfile cpHigh = CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH);
 recorder.setProfile(cpHigh);
