I can't capture android screen using adb screen record tool
android, android-mediacodec, screen-recording
Solution
I got the same problem...and succeed to solve it...but I do not know how...
When I ran:
$>adb.exe shell screenrecord --verbose /sdcard/kitkat.mp4
I got this error:
Main display is 768x1280 @60.00fps (orientation=0) Configuring recorder for 768x1280 video at 4.00Mbp ERROR: unable to create video/avc codec instance
And to solve my problem, I first lowered the bitrate:
$>adb.exe shell screenrecord --bit-rate 1000000 --time-limit 30 --verbose /sdcard/kitkat.mp4
And then when I ran the default command...:
$>adb.exe shell screenrecord --verbose /sdcard/kitkat.mp4
It works...
Maybe because I also re-start the adb server after the first error...
Very strange...
Problem
I have a nexus 4 with android KitKat. I tried screen recording using the following commands: ``` adb shell screenrecord --verbose /sdcard/demo.mp4 adb shell screenrecord --bit-rate 8000000 --time-limit 30 /sdcard/kitkat.mp4 ``` Both times, the commands returned this message: ``` Main display is 768x1280 @60.00fps (orientation=0) Configuring recorder for 768x1280 video at 4.00Mbps ERROR: unable to create video/avc codec instance ``` In the debug console I had open in AndroidStudio, the following log messages were shown: ``` 02-02 18:16:29.058 176-4045/? E/OMX-VENC-720p﹕ Is component secure 0 02-02 18:16:29.058 176-4045/? E/OMX-VENC-720p﹕ ERROR: Omx_venc::Comp Init Returning failure 02-02 18:16:29.058 176-4045/?

(omx error 0x80001003, internalError -2147483648) ``` Does anybody got any idea on how to solve this? (I tried smaller resolutions, but with no success)
