## What it is
An Android library providing a custom video capture activity with granular control over resolution, bitrate, filesize, duration, and codecs, while forcing landscape-only recording. It replaces the limited default MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE intent.

## Use cases
- capture video in an android app with custom resolution and bitrate
- force users to record video in landscape orientation only
- limit recorded video filesize or duration
- get the recorded file URI back from a video capture intent
- build a custom camera recording screen with front/rear camera switching

## When to avoid
- you need portrait video recording
- you need CameraX/Camera2 modern APIs or active maintenance - last release was 2020
- you only need basic video capture with default quality settings

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: video-processing, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, media, android-tools
