   Hi
   In Android source code we see

   public void startVideoRecording(@NonNull Result result) { final File outputDir = applicationContext.getCacheDir(); try { captureFile = File.createTempFile("REC", ".mp4", outputDir); } catch (IOException | SecurityException e) { result.error("cannotCreateFile", e.getMessage(), null); return; } try { prepareMediaRecorder(captureFile.getAbsolutePath()); } catch (IOException e) { recordingVideo = false; captureFile = null; result.error("videoRecordingFailed", e.getMessage(), null); return; }

   we request and then save the file to the cache
   final File outputDir = applicationContext.getCacheDir();

   we need to save large amounts of video information to the sd card.
   Here we have to copy this file to the place we need after the recording is finished
