Thanks. I was able to find a small example app to use as a base for this:
http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/android-video-capture-example/
. It had some bugs wrt proper ordering of sources, encoders, and formats
(pretty gnarly to get it all right, and I'm fairly certain it isn't
bulletproof yet), but it's basically working as advertised. Now I have to
make several adjustments to get it closer to what I need.
