Parameters

quality: Int32

the video encoding quality. Range of possible values can be obtained for a specific encoder by querying MediaCodecInfo.EncoderCapabilities#getQualityRange. Quality is implementation-specific. As a general rule, a higher quality setting results in a better image quality and a lower compression ratio.

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Sets the video encoding quality for recording. Call this method before prepare(). prepare() may perform additional checks on the parameter to make sure the specified quality value is applicable. The parameter will only be applied if MediaCodecInfo.EncoderCapabilities.BITRATE_MODE_CQ mode is supported for the selected encoder. Applications should not set both encoding quality and encoding bitrate, because in this case behavior is undefined.
