viewFinder = new QCameraViewfinder();
    camera = new QCamera;
    recorder = new QMediaRecorder(camera);
    camera->setCaptureMode(QCamera::CaptureVideo);
    camera->setViewfinder(viewFinder);
    camera->start();
    viewFinder->show();
    QAudioEncoderSettings audioSettings;
    audioSettings.setCodec("audio/amr");
    audioSettings.setQuality(QMultimedia::HighQuality);
    recorder->setAudioSettings(audioSettings);
    QVideoEncoderSettings videoSettings;
    videoSettings.setCodec("video/mpeg2");
    videoSettings.setResolution(640, 480);
    recorder->setVideoSettings(videoSettings);

@Flame said in how can i find the file saved by Qmediarecorder:

setOutputLocation

Try to look in your build folder.

i can't find the video file in the file include exe file,do i need use the other function to execute the save command ?
this is the file tree：

Hi
That seems like a deplyment folder and not so much a build folder.
However, i assume you mean when you just run it then.
Maybe the tab is grey as it cant save the video.
You should check the sample code under what condition, it won't allow the tab.
You could also try with path in setOutputLocation

@mrjj sorry sir, I think I may let you misunderstand，i do this don't use qt example,all codes show as following;

viewFinder = new QCameraViewfinder();
    camera = new QCamera;
    recorder = new QMediaRecorder(camera);
    camera->setCaptureMode(QCamera::CaptureVideo);
    camera->setViewfinder(viewFinder);
    camera->start();
    viewFinder->show();
    QAudioEncoderSettings audioSettings;
    audioSettings.setCodec("audio/amr");
    audioSettings.setQuality(QMultimedia::HighQuality);
    recorder->setAudioSettings(audioSettings);
    QVideoEncoderSettings videoSettings;
    videoSettings.setCodec("video/mpeg2");
    videoSettings.setResolution(640, 480);
    recorder->setVideoSettings(videoSettings);
    recorder->setOutputLocation(QUrl::fromLocalFile("1.mp4"));
    recorder->record();

i want these codes will have the function which can save the video from camera,i mean “Are there any missing steps”

Hi
It looks ok, but you should hook up the error handling signals to catch any errors.
void QMediaRecorder::error(QMediaRecorder::Error error)

@mrjj thank you very much for your advise, but sorry , i think i will bother you again,today i try to obtain the signal error,i find there is not error signal emited,but i find the state and status is : QMediaRecorder::StoppedState and QMediaRecorder::UnavailableStatus ,after i using the "record" function,i don't konw how to handle this problem,hope your advise

Hi
Can you try to qDebug() << camera->isCaptureModeSupported(QCamera::CaptureVideo);.

I got this feeling recording is not supported.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimedia-windows.html
"Video recording is currently not supported. "

[Flame]

@mrjj sorry sir,i can't reply you immediately，because i am a new member
, i find isCaptureModeSupported(QCamera::CaptureVideo) is false, you are right，I do use Windows platforms, thank you ,It seems that I can only use other methods.

[mrjj]

Hi
Yes it seems on windows, recording is not really supported. still.
