title: Android MediaRecorder not working - media server died / Error 100
body: <p>I'm trying to follow the MediaRecorder code samples here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html</a></p>
  
  <p>in an attempt and build a video recorder, but while running the code, whenever I attempt to record, I get a "media server died" warning accompanied by "Camera server died", "ICamera died", "msgType = 1", and finally the dreaded "Error 100".</p>
  
  <p>I did a bunch of research and seemed to find a bunch of other people with similar issues, but none of their experienced helped me solve my issue.</p>
  
  <p>My code is fully available here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/loisaidasam/sam-video/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/loisaidasam/sam-video/</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm running a T-Mobile G2 on Android 2.3.4</p>
  
  <p>I've been banging my head against a wall for four hours now, so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!</p>
