Hello,

I am trying to build an application that would run on an Android set-
top box (not mobile device). The set-top box will have analog video
inputs.

I would like to capture the incoming video within Android.

Once I capture video, I am looking to see if there are any good SDKs
that provide circular buffers for video. I am space constrained and
would like to be able to capture video and have it set to recycle on
itself after a set period of time.

For instance, if I determine that I want a 30 minute circular buffer,
it would be nice if the 31st minute of captured video began
overwriting minute number 1. During playback, I would like the 30
minutes to appear seamless even across the circle back to the
beginning.

What is the best way to capture video in Android and process it
through a circular buffer? I fear that Android, being designed
predominately for mobile devices, may make this tricky for me. Is
there a convenient way to do this with MediaRecorder?

While this isn't actually my application, it is similar enough that it
will suffice for example: Say I want to hook a video camera to the
analog inputs (although I recognize digital would be better for this
scenario). I want it to only record the last 30 minutes worth of
activity, so that at any point I can review the last 30 minutes of
what has transpired, and it will always be the most recent.

Thanks,
Joseph Irvine
