How to create a video recording function?

[c#chris]

Hello, is it possible to code a video recording module für a c# program that saves the videos in mp4 format.
This should work without the need of any additional (licensed ) dll/assembly e.g. from nuget.

Likely doable if you are willing to write code that does P/Invoke to the Win32 Transcode API:

Tutorial: Encoding an MP4 File - Win32 apps

This tutorial shows how to use the Transcode API to encode an MP4 file, using H.264 for the video stream and AAC for the audio stream.

Ugh, it will shorten your life

Just shell out to ffmpeg

Capture/Desktop – FFmpeg

trac.ffmpeg.org

Yup, that technically satisfies the OP's request for no separate DLL or assembly from Nuget. Instead just need to install FFmpeg.exe instead.

Available as a standalone exe, no installing too
