Mpeg 4 file size

[mancda]

Is there a way to reduce the size of the mpeg4 file created by StartRecordingAsync ? I have set the resolution size to the lowest the camera will support but it is still large.

Thanks for your help

Things that come to mind:

• Reduce the frame rate.
• Reduce the bitrate.
• Use a different video format.

Note that all of this is currently hardcoded in StartRecordingAsync (on Android):

Camera.Maui/Camera.MAUI/Platforms/Android/MauiCameraView.cs

Lines 179 to 182 in 3d74fa6

	mediaRecorder.SetOutputFormat(OutputFormat.Mpeg4);
	mediaRecorder.SetOutputFile(file);
	mediaRecorder.SetVideoEncodingBitRate(10000000);
	mediaRecorder.SetVideoFrameRate(30);

This issue is very similar to #8.
