my goal is to apply some filters on the camera input in real time. To do that step by step, I'm trying to get the input form the camera with AVFoundation record a video and save it in the camera roll. I tried, but for some reason the AVAssetWriter is always in AVAssetWriterStatusFailed and so the appendSampleBuffer: method always failed. Where is my error? Someone can help me?
Thanks!
