Converting audio files(.3gp) to video with Album cover and uploading to YouTube

I have an audio file in .3gp format on my Android device which I wish to upload to YouTube. I know that YouTube is 开发者_如何转开发a video upload site and that I need to convert this sound file to video.

I just want an image to display all the time the audio is playing.

Google tells me there are number of tools that can help me. But I want to do this via java code from my Android device.

Please help.

Thanks.

There are tools such as FFMPEG available for free that allow you to, essentially, mix and convert heterogenous streams. That is you can add a bitmap to a video, create video from slide shows and then add sound etc. (See a related question I asked here).

These programs can be executed from within java applications by making Runtime.exec(..) calls.

Sun has an example for stitching multiple JPEGs together into a movie, you can find it here. You should be able to take this example, (its fairly robust), and add what you need to it.

I recommend looking into the Java Media Framework (FAQ)

You can find a vast collection of sample applets/code at the Sun Solutions page. You can find the API on this page. I do hope this is compatible on the Android platform, as I haven't had any personal experience developing for it. But it might be a good place to start.
