Video Recording in Xamarin Forms - xamarin

How can I record Videos in xamarin forms? I need a portable library plugin. I had already used Plugin.MediaManager and the recorded video with quality medium and compression low is having a size more than 500MB. Also if i try with a qulaity less than this, it will not play in iOS. Can anyone please help me to provide a solution on alternate plugins(cross platform) for recording video.

Compression method for file transfers in Android

I am developing an android app, where I require to upload image/video files really quick. What could be the best approach to do the same? I am using windows azure media server.
I researched and went through the entire documentation on Azure yet couldn't find the right solution for the below problems. So, I am elaborating the list of issues and scenarios for your understanding.
Just to add top-up on this issue. Following are the scenarios.
We are uploading the video through app. - Need help is optimising the upload transfer rate by using viable compression.
As of now it is taking approximately 1-2 mins to complete the upload.
Post uploading the Video we crop the video using FFmpeg codecs in our application on VM and then move the video file to Blob Storage.
Followed by that we use the Azure Media SDK to make an asset to encode the cropped video for adaptive streaming and we also create the Progressive Download file for downloading the video which is cropped and has stiched images with it.
Cropped and Unstichhed video is played in the app which is of max length 32 seconds.
This still shows the buffering on the 4G network which is questionable?
Downloadable file which has images stiched with it comes out with noise in the bottom of the video. (Attached image for ref.) Ref. Image. Look at the right botton pixelation.

This is the one that I use and it supports Video source from file as well as stream source. So far, this is the best I found for Xamarin forms.

Have a look at LibVLCSharp. Official VLC bindings for Xamarin/.NET.

Playing video files in Windows Phone 8

I'd like to make app for WP8, which will download and play movies. Android Market has lots apps of this type. But all of just get content, and pass it to video player (MX player for example), and format can be different (.avi, .mkv, .mpeg, etc.), but player shows the content without any problems. For exaple on my Samsung s5830, 1400 mb .avi movie plays good. As I can see - WP8 doesn't has custom video players.
Question: if I download in my app, from web, some movie in .avi format, could I play it on WP8? The same question for video stream for web.
You can play back any video file which is supported by the phone (this is documented on MSDN here). You can stream or play downloaded video from Isolated Storage using the MediaElement in the SDK and on WP8 I think there is a DirectX option too.
It's not enough to say that a file type is supported as these are just video "containers" - each container can contain audio and video of different codecs. MKVs don't look like they're supported at all however.
You can see this video format (codec) support varies between WP7 and 8 and even some kinds of phone dependent on what the chipset in the phone supports. (especially for the high bitrate HD codecs).
There is a nice framework that helps you on playing movies inside your app!
Take a look at it on codeplex http://playerframework.codeplex.com

Stream YouTube videos in a Windows Phone app

How do I stream YouTube videos in a Windows Phone app? I've tried using the MediaElement control and setting its Source property with the URL to a video and called the Play() method on the media element, but it didn't work. I want to create a simple video player that plays a video as it is being streamed. What kind of .NET classes do I need to work with?
YouTube does not expose its videos in a format which you can use to play them within Windows Phone applications, or any other kind of application for that matter. This is why services such as KeepVid, which provide 'hacks' for downloading YouTube videos, exist.
Please see my answer to this identical question from a few months ago over # Possible to play Youtube video in a wp7 app?

Please see: Is there a way I can capture my iPhone screen as a video?
This post describes many ways to capture video. It looks like there isn't a completely intuitive way to record the video, but this post lists some of the options others have used for their applications.
