What problem are you solving?

Camera plugin users don’t have control over the output codecs (both video and audio) and the container output format. This prevents them from getting a video specific to their needs, since they are instead limited to the choice made by the system.

How can this be a problem:

• Maybe you need your files in a specific codec / container for further processing
• Maybe your app is used by a lot of older devices and doesn’t support certain codecs or struggles with fast decoding due to older hardware
• Maybe you are just like me and don’t want to pay license fees for the new mpeg versions if you want to add additional metadata later on
• Maybe you need your video or audio file to use a certain codec to get a certain quality
• Maybe your users expect to have the option to choose the codes in which they record
