Sorry if this is a me-too but this also happens under Linux (Ubuntu 10). Red5 
0.8 seems to work.

I figure I'll comment just to help others out who have issues with the final 
release v1.0. I'm on Win 8 and I reverted back to version 0.8 and there is no 
issue. The final version definitely has a bug, I was struggling for days trying 
to figure out what I was doing wrong. I noticed that on the client side, if I 
record and then set null to both attachCamera and attachMicrophone on the 
NetStream the file would eventually get written completely ( Albeit very 
slowly). On the client side the buffer was empty so there was nothing left for 
the client to do, however if I closed the stream too early the video would not 
finish writing to disk.

Win 7, Red5 v.1.0. Same problem...
- Buffer length during recording always 0 (maybe, because of local testing).
- I can see some "temp" .ser-file in my streams directory, and if I do not 
close the stream and this file disappears (after that I can close the stream), 
then my video will be full. 
- So, it is working, but I don't know how to find out when to close the stream 
(maybe with some server-side script which will check if .ser-file is exist or 
not).

With Red5 v.0.8 everything works fine.

Same problem for me with Red5 v1.0 on Mac OSX v10.7.5. For me, red5 is saving 
out the video stream about 5x slower than expected (eg, recording a 60 second 
video results in a saved video which is about 10 seconds long).

I tried playing with every possible client-side (Flash) setting I could think 
of on the NetStream, videoStreamSettings, and Camera objects to bypass the 
issue with no success.

I also tried different combinations of the red5 config settings "delayWrite" 
and "queueThreshold", with no success.

I can also can verify that setting attachCamera and attachMicrophone to null 
for a very long period of time does result in a successful, non-truncated final 
recording, but that workaround is unacceptable based on my particular 
requirements (I need to be able to play back the recorded video immediately 
after the recording).

Same problem on Win XP. This renders Red5 1.0.1 completely unusable for me. Why 
isn't this fixed yet?

There is no such problem in Red5 1RC2 (Win 2008, jvm6). Since 4 out of 6 
comments mentions v0.8 is there something to know about newer versions, or is 
it just because the old one is tried and tested?

I'm running 

MacOSX 10.8
java 1.7

I have tried with red5 1.0 Final, red5 1.0.1, red5 1.0 RC2 and red5 0.8 .
The problem persists on all 1.x versions. I still couldn't test 0.8 because I 
get some other unrelated errors, I will post back on the subject when I resolve 
the errors and test the recording.

Iv'e just tried the new 1.0.2-snapshot and the problem mentioned above persists.
I always keep getting bufferLength of size 0 so I cannot really tell when to 
finish the recording.
Stopping in the middle causes a broken FLV so it seems the only way is using 
the watcher api to detect when the ".ser" file is deleted (which is a very 
crapy way of handling it).

Any other ideas?

I'm using 1.0.1 version on windows, and my flv file is also truncated, I record 
about a minute, and the end file is much less than that...

actually same issue in 1.02 as well

I've tested this feature successfully a number of times, both locally and on an 
external server. So far 1.0.2 is pretty solid on recording. I suggest that you 
work on your client code to ensure you are properly closing the source and 
associated streams before assuming its the server that is in error.

does red5 support buffering locally with a flush on record stop like this
kind of gist?

Same problem with Win 8 and red5 v1.0.1, before I worked with v0.8 and 
everything was ok, if I waited for bufferLength 0 and then closed stream. But 
in v1.0.1 I have everytime buferLegnth 0 or sometime 1s

Original comment by vav...@gmail.com on 29 Aug 2013 at 4:55

Any server doesn't care if you're buffering on the client; I'm not sure if 
flash even gives the server any indication of its internal process. The caveat 
here is to close the netstream after you're done with it; ie. all your data has 
been sent! Neglecting to detach your sources (camera / mic) from the netstream 
will prevent it from being done. If you handle things properly, you will get 
net status events that will allow you to proceed. Once you get 
UnPublish.Success, close your netstream.

It looks like that it works in 1.0.2, bufferLength is still 0, but Video is 
saved complete. I tested only on localhost

@mondain : I am also facing a similar issue on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox  
browsers while doing recording. 
However the recording works fine with Chrome on Safari.
Also , it works on Windows7.
I want to know :
1. whether or not the bug mentioned in this thread is also browser specific. 
2. Will upgrading my Red5 version to 1.0.2 fix the issue for all browsers ?

@duvanyse that has nothing to do with this issue report; also do a google 
search as there are plenty of examples for creating an SO.
