Hi,

I have seen the same kind of requirement in VB.Net programmin, the recording of video .avi takes up large amount of disk space and can fill up the hard disk storage pretty quickly. As an example, a 37-second clip took up 66MB of disk space.

Can anybody tell me how about this in Flex.

Thank You.
