You can capture photo in your defined frame
Checkout following snippet
UIImagePickerController *mediaUI = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
mediaUI.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
mediaUI.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil] ;
mediaUI.delegate = self;
mediaUI.allowsEditing = YES;
mediaUI.view.frame = CGRectMake(5, 5, 310, 280);
[self.view addSubview:mediaUI];

"This movie format is not supported" - Strange issue with UIImagePickerController on iPad (iOS v 4.3)

My basic requirement is to capture video using UIImagePickerController. The recording of video should automatically stop after recording 10 seconds of video.
I am getting pretty weird error on iPad 2 (iOS ver 4.3) - "This movie format is not supported" when the video reaches its maximum duration on iPad2.
Here is my piece of code. The code works absolutely fine on iPhone, but gives - "This movie format is not supported" when the video reaches its maximum duration on iPad2.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
(void) launchCamera : (BOOL) bAlbum
{
UIImagePickerController * pImgPicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
pImgPicker.delegate = self;
pImgPicker.mediaTypes =[UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:pImgPicker.sourceType];
if(m_bRecordVideo)
{
pImgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
[pImgPicker setVideoQuality: UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeMedium];
[pImgPicker setCameraCaptureMode: UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModeVideo];
[pImgPicker setVideoMaximumDuration:10];
}
else
{
pImgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
[pImgPicker setCameraCaptureMode: UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModePhoto];
}
[self presentModalViewController:pImgPicker animated:YES];
[pImgPicker release];
}
I found the solution to above problem.
The following line fixed the issue.
pImgPicker.mediaTypes = [[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString*) kUTTypeMovie, nil] autorelease];
Here is the updated code.
-(void) launchCamera : (BOOL) bAlbum
{
UIImagePickerController * pImgPicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
pImgPicker.delegate = self;
pImgPicker.mediaTypes =[UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:pImgPicker.sourceType];
if(m_bRecordVideo)
{
pImgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
pImgPicker.mediaTypes = [[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString*) kUTTypeMovie, nil] autorelease];
[pImgPicker setVideoQuality: UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeMedium];
[pImgPicker setCameraCaptureMode: UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModeVideo];
[pImgPicker setVideoMaximumDuration:10];
}
else
{
pImgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
[pImgPicker setCameraCaptureMode: UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModePhoto];
}
[self presentModalViewController:pImgPicker animated:YES];
[pImgPicker release];
}

How to store the time period(duration) of a captured video in iPhone?

Thanks to all for responding to the questions which I posted.
I got one problem that is, while capturing the video in the iPhone, I don't know how to store the time period (duration) that I captured video with iPhone. Can any one solve my problem.
I am using the following code for capturing.
-(void) RecordVideoWithCamera
{
printf("\n Hai I am in record vedio with camera -============");
[self startCameraPickerFromViewController:self usingDelegate:self];
}
- (BOOL)startCameraPickerFromViewController:(UIViewController*)controller usingDelegate:(id<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>)delegateObject
{
if ([UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
{
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init]autorelease];
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.showsCameraControls=YES;
picker.allowsEditing = NO;
UIView *overlayView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
picker.cameraOverlayView = overlayView;
[controller presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
return YES;
}
Thanking you,

I think you should check CMTime struct.

Image Move & Resize not working when using a custom camera overlay iPhone SDK 3.1+

I used to use the old-school method of adding an overlay to the camera screen, and that worked fine. However, since 3.1 came out, Apple is insisting that I use the API to add an overlay. I quickly got the overlay to work, but it seems that if I use the custom overlay, then the move & resize screen is not responsive, I can only use or retake, can't actually resize & move. The code I am using is below. I have tried several variations, but the only thing that actually enables the move & resize is to remove the line that adds the custom overlay view.
Any ideas?
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"camera-template-long.png"];
UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)] ;
imgView.image = image;
UIView *overlayView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
overlayView.opaque = NO;
[overlayView addSubview:imgView];
UIImagePickerController* picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.showsCameraControls = YES;
picker.cameraOverlayView = overlayView;
picker.delegate = self;
picker.allowsEditing = YES;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
Set both allowsEditing/showsCameraControls properties to NO, prepare your original view to cameraOverlayView, and use takePicture method.
Then, imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: will be called directly.
Please try the following code:
- (void)foo {
UIImagePickerController *controller = [[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init] autorelease];
controller.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
controller.cameraOverlayView = self.cameraOverlay;
[self performSelector:#selector(moveOverlayViewToSublayer:) withObject:controller afterDelay:0.1f];
controller.delegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
- (void) moveOverlayViewToSublayer:(UIImagePickerController*)controller {
CALayer *aLayer = self.cameraOverlay.layer.superlayer;
controller.cameraOverlayView = nil;
[aLayer addSublayer:self.cameraOverlay.layer];
}
I hope it will work well.
The entire issue goes away once you use [overlayView setUserInteractionEnabled:NO]; to stop the overlay view from handling the input.

This works perfectly for me. I tried to disable userInteractionEnabled but in vain.
