Turn on Flashlight while capture video on Windows Phone - windows-phone-7

Well, i'm a newbie developer in C# and i want to capture Video meanwhile the flashlight on device is turn on. I have been search for the answer, but they are lead me to make the flashlight app.

Please help bro , if there are any references , course i will read it. :)

You can use Direct Show library from Microsoft:

Native Windows: How to capture windows that are covered by other windows like Google Hangouts does

I'm working on a feature that allows users to capture windows and stream them. Using native windows api calls, I'm able to get a windows location and capture it.
BUT, if there is a window over it... I'm not able to capture that blocked portion and I just replace that area with gray.
SOMEHOW... google chrome, a non-microsoft app... figured out how to capture a window while it's behind other windows. Skype for Business, a Microsoft product, can't even do that.
Has anyone worked on something like this before? If so, a point in the right direction would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks!

Share videos camera roll wp 8

I tired to googling that how share videos form camera roll in windows phone 8 like in Nokia video upload and facebook app. I used to try this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff967563(v=vs.105).aspx
Only share picture but I want to share only videos for my app e.g. when my app show in list when share a video by camera roll of windows phone in sharing
To quote the link you included in your question:
Note that this extensibility is only available when the photo is a JPG
file.
And from my experience, I can confirm that it is not possible to register your app as a share target for a video file.
In other words, if a user tries to share a video from the camera roll or another app, there is no way to make your app appear as one of the options in that list.
Did you try using the share media task function?
Check this article out from the msdn :

You can use MediaLibrary and there is already an answer for your question in this link. As said, there is no way to select existing sound media and video files through default choosers. Thank you.

Recording Audio Stream in Background in Windows phone 7/8

I m developing an app which can record audio stream.
I want to know that is it possible to record that audio in background, i,e when the application is in deactivated mode?
I have already tried to do that in many different ways,but its not helping out.
Please suggest me some way to do such...
Thank you.
As mentioned in the comments, it's not possible to record in the background.
Your app must be running in the foreground for it to be able to record audio using the microphone. For an overview of all the audio recording options, please refer to this tutorial on the Nokia Developer Wiki.
Also, an app will not run when the phone is locked - it is suspended. So if your app was recording, it would stop when the phone is locked. You can change this behaviour with IdleDetectionMode.Disabled which means your app keeps running even though the phone is locked.
Haven't implemented it before, but classifying it as a VOIP app could be the way to go:

CameraCaptureTask in Windows Phone 8 - auto saves to camera roll

I have an existing application developed for Windows Phone 7, which uses CameraCaptureTask.
The captured image is returned back to the app, which will be processed for grayscale conversion.
While testing the same app (same binary to be precise) in Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920, I figured that a copy of all the images captured through the CameraCaptureTask are saved in "camera roll" folder.
This is a bit annoying as the users of my app are not expecting the captured images crowding the "camera roll" folder. I looked up the documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh394006(v=vs.105).aspx and found the below quote,
On Windows Phone 8, if the user accepts a photo taken with the camera capture task, the photo is automatically saved to the phone’s camera roll. On previous versions of Windows Phone, the photo is not automatically saved.
So far I couldn't find a way to avoid this case in Windows Phone 8.
Is there a way to turn off this feature before calling the CameraCaptureTask's Show() method in Windows Phone 8?
No. This is a consumer feature request implemented on WP8 that's transparent to developers. The usecase here is that a consumer uses the CameraCaptureTask to line up a perfect shot, doesn't use it an app for whatever reason and can't find it ever again later.
As a side-note, I actually had this happen a few times to me when using various twitter and photo editing apps and it's quite annoying.
Makes no sense. CameraCaptureTask was created to allow apps to capture photos for the app use, not for users to push them into Camera Roll. That is what Lenses are for (either custom code can write into camera roll as well).
It is not transparent to developers because one of my apps has just been removed from the WP8 market. They say because can cause "undesired upload of an app photo to skydrive".
Justin are you sure it isn't a bug? is it going to be fixed?
This forces me to break my development into 2 now: WP7 and WP8. I don't want that hassle right now...

Camera capture in Windows Phone 7 through an XNA application

I know that Microsoft hasn't officially supported doing any video capture applications as of yet. I've found the Clarity Consulting blog entry that highlights how to use the camera through Silverlight (entry is here: http://blogs.claritycon.com/kevinmarshall/2010/12/23/wp7-camera-access-flashlight-augmented-reality-and-barcode-scanning/). But, as of yet, I have been unsuccessful in porting the code to be used by an XNA framework.
Has anyone had any luck either using the Windows Phone 7 camera in an XNA application? If so, care to share your wisdom?
Thanks!
Generally you can access the camera the same way you do it in Silverlight - there is the CameraCaptureTask - you need to add a reference to Microsoft.Phone first and then call it from the game.
Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.CameraCaptureTask task = new Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.CameraCaptureTask();
task.Completed += new EventHandler<Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.PhotoResult>(task_Completed);
task.Show();
That would be for static capture, and your event handler is like this:
void task_Completed(object sender, Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.PhotoResult e)
{
// Do something with e.ChosenPhoto
}
Currently, video recording is done through the undocumented way - this will most likely get your app submission disapproved from the Marketplace, but it is possible nonetheless.
What's done that way is a MP4 file is constantly updated in the IsolatedStorage as the recording is in progress. But then again, there are methods present to include the file in the media library.
Think you are a bit unclear about the whole microsoft and supporting cameras.
Microsoft released not too long ago Expression Encoder 4 which allows you not only to video screen capture your screen but as well access all devices connected to your pc.
I would believe this would be much more ideal then being restrained to only using a windows 7 phone especially for an xna game.
Hope this sheds some light.
Nowadays you can use FileSink to save video from a CaptureSource like VideoCaptureDevice into a file.
