Screen recording in libgdx android video

Question

I need to record a screen in the libgdx application and share the youtube video in one application. I compiled the ffmpeg project to get the FFMPEG binary. I took a list of screenshots in the application, and I need to convert them to video. Is FFMPEG the easiest way to convert images + sound to film? I added the FFMPEG file to the assert file. Now I tried to execute it with:

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); rt.exec("chmod 700 ffmpeg"); rt.exec("ffmpeg"); 

This cannot be done because of the path, it seems wrong (the standard assertmanager cannot be used inside libgdx at the moment) I tried to copy the file from the assert folder to another location:

 FileHandle handle = Gdx.files.internal("ffmpeg"); FileHandle destHandle = Gdx.files.external("/data/data/com.me.putingame.VideoProcessor/ffmpeg"); handle.copyTo(destHandle); 

but since it is an external file, I do not know the path to execute ffmpeg for encoding. Which way can i use?

How can I execute ffmped inside non-root devices using libgdx? Some lines of code will be useful

Is this the best way to record video in android?

If you just need the full destHandle path, I think this should work:

  String fullpath = Gdx.files.getExternalStoragePath() + "/" + destHandle.path(); 

See http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/nightlies/docs/api/com/badlogic/gdx/Files.html#getExternalStoragePath ()
