Research direction
The issue names no files, tests or entry points, so there is no code to start from. Its only concrete detail is that the app records to MP4 and the reporter did not check which codec it uses. Before any change, a maintainer would need to pick a specific free codec and container and say what done looks like, such as a selectable recording format.

Feature description
I would like support for any free as in freedom video codec and free container format. I do not mind what specific codecs/containers they are.
Why do you want this feature?
Fossify camera currently records into the MP4 container format (I didn't research what codec). In the spirit of freedom, it would be really nice to see a first FOSS camera app be able to record into a FOSS codec/container (non exist yet!!!).
