This project is using webRTC's getUserMedia() spec to record audio and video both in the client side and upload as chunks to the server, current project support latest versions of Opera and Chrome and hoping to provide support for Firefox in near future.
###Usage
linking script files
<script src="whammy.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="recorder.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="VIRecorder.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Initializing
var virec = new VIRecorder.initVIRecorder(
{
recorvideodsize : 0.4, // recorded video dimentions are 0.4 times smaller than the original
webpquality : 0.7, // chrome and opera support webp imags, this is about the aulity of a frame
framerate : 15, // recording frame rate
videotagid : "viredemovideoele",
videoWidth : "640",
videoHeight : "480",
} ,
function(){
//success callback. this will fire if browsers supports
},
function(err){
//onerror callback, this will fire if browser does not support
console.log(err.code +" , "+err.name);
}
);"recorvideodsize" : indicates the recorded video dimentions relative to the actual size "webpquality" : this indicate the quality of a single frame in the video "framerate" : frame rate

</html>###Server Side Code I have used php but you can use any server side language
###Fixes
- increased the flexibility of the api
- provided support for Opera latest version
- removed the dependancy of JQuery and make it pure javascript
- uploading time reduced by uploading blob as chunks
- old Library previously supported direct mp3 recording using a library provided by Octavian Naicu but with this version I removed it because of few bugs in that project, and it takes conciderable time to encode to mp3
####This project is an experiment, and this will work Only for Chrome, Opera so all are invited to contribute....
