How to record video?

I want to access camera to record video to upload, but have come across many articles which states that there is no access for third party to record video. Here's the link:

Is it true? If not how do I use camera to record video?

Is it true?

It used to be true back when those articles were written. The earlier version of WP7, before Mango, did not support any APIs to access the camera (the best you could do was launch the camera app itself I think). As of v7.1 you have access to it as Shawn and Alex have said.

You're in luck because MSDN has a great article on how to do this! You can also download the complete sample code. You can see more samples from MSDN here

Use Mango feature with Raw Camera Data. Basically, all you need is in following article: http://jonas.follesoe.no/2011/07/22/qr-code-scanning-on-windows-phone-75-using-zxlib

The only difference is that in method ScanPreviewBuffer author scans QR code, and you should store those images and then make a video from them.

That's how I would do that task
