Hi guys,

             1.   i have develop an application which have an option video record and play back that video.

i know that is possible but is there any way to store or record the video in device memory...

             2. When i try to play some video in my storm simulator it shows pop msg like "To record video please insert SDCard".

After that i configure my simulator by changing the option "change SD Card" in my simulate menu.

Then,its working fine but after playing the video its show an error like

First, what is the error message? Second, what BlackBerry/simulator are you getting this on? Didn't see "Storm simulator."

You need to record to a SDCard because videos can get very large, if it happens to fit on device memory then you can copy it over afterwards.

Without knowing the error message the only thing that comes to mind is you have to wait for the recording to commit before you try to play it. If it is not fully commited then you would be trying to play a partial video and will most likely get an error.

And One more question i have

        - Is there any possible to take thumbnail for video?.. If yes, Please explain me or give some sample document.

Ok, just as a tip images need to be approved by moderators before they get posted publicly so you can see it but everyone else cannot. The best thing to do is to post it to another site and post the link so people can view it.

Next the error, though I don't know what it means, tells me at least that it might be a Simulator error. Try the app on an actual device to see if any errors come up. If nothing comes up then it was the simulator and you should post it on BlackBerry Issue Tracker.

As for the thumbnails, I can't remember where I saw it but I saw a list of videos that had thumbnails and when you held your selected it they played snippets of the video.

Just found it, it simply loads the videos from a video folder, then creates a player for each video and simply doesn't play it. It still shows a thumbnail from the beginning of the video but can be played at any time.

Translation: to get a thumbnail create a non-viewable screen (a screen where instead of drawing to the Blackberry's display it draws to, say, an Bitmap), display a video on it, when the video draws to the Screen it draws to the Bitmap which you can use as a thumbnail.
