Video Recording

See original GitHub issue

I made the service that launches the camera and record video in the background, but the video quality is very low, I assigned mMediaRecorder.setVideoSize (1920, 1080); but nothing has changed. If I add here this mMediaRecorder.setProfile line (CamcorderProfile.get (CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH)); then logs see such a warning System.err: at com.hidecamera.camera.RecorderService.startRecording (RecorderService.java:115) and the camera does not start, and if I delete this line, the camera starts and record video in a very poor quality
