Why is WebRTC video file so big? #19

Closed antogian closed 5 years ago

antogian commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to save video of WebRTC call. It's working but the video file is ridiculously big.

val recording = VideoFileRenderer(mPath, mWidth, mHeight,  
rootEglBase.eglBaseContext)
localVideoTrack.addSink(recording)

I think it's obvious that WebRTC doesn't apply any kind of compression to the video. Even though. I'm setting DefaultVideoEncoderFactory costructor's VP8 encoder to true.

val defaultVideoEncoderFactory = DefaultVideoEncoderFactory(rootEglBase.eglBaseContext, true, true)

WebRTC is applying compression to the transmitted video, it is the file renderer that doesn't

hmm, so how can I save the transmitted video locally?
