Set video format for native camera application

Question

Is it possible to set file Format and encoder format for video while using native camera via Intent with flag ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE?

So is it not possible? If not then is there a way to provide the same video file format and codec format for all devices using native camera? — Michal W, Jun 10 '13 at 08:38
It is possible, and quite easy. I added an answer to describe how. — Joshua Pinter, Mar 15 '14 at 19:35

Yes

Set the MediaRecorder's OutputFormat to MPEG_4, like so:

recorder = new MediaRecorder(); 
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);

This other SO answer describes it perfectly, as well.
