Well I have a same problem and no one seems to know what is going on.. Google themselves dont even know how to update samples with their stupid updates for sdks.. I implemented the camera into my app but once you stop recording the video it saves the file with 0 bytes and that's all.. Have no idea why it is happening or how to change anything.. Blame google for this poor documentation.
