Java – how to use ffmpeg in Android to reduce the video size captured by the default camera?

I am trying to reduce the video size captured by the default camera in Android (it is generating high-resolution video). Does ffmpeg have the property of encoding video with a given resolution? I try to use Google, but all the examples use ffmpeg command line mode

My question is:

>Can we use the ffmpeg command line in Android? > If not, how will we achieve it? > Can we record video directly in Android using ffmpeg? > Are there any other solutions?

resolvent:

You can compile ffmpeg for Android and run ffmpeg from the command line. Unless you need more advanced usage than the command line, you don't need to delve into native code and JNI calls

As a reference, this is the shell script I run to compile ffmpeg (it's easier to run under Ubuntu than windows)

#!/bin/bash

As for running ffmpeg, first copy ffmpeg to the file directory of the application. Chmod 755 uses getruntime. Exec (), as shown below, and then run ffmpeg using the following line:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/data/data/yourpackagename/files/ffmpeg -i in.mp4 out.mp4")

Now, it is difficult to input the camera into ffmpeg in a format that it can understand. I still want to find out. I have a stackoverflow problem about the theme: decode Android's hardware encoded H264 camera feed using ffmpeg in real time
