Quick and dirty way to use the camera api from python:

import gst
bin = gst.element_factory_make("camerabin")
bin.set_property("videoenc", gst.element_factory_make("dspmp4venc"))
bin.set_property("videomux", gst.element_factory_make("hantromp4mux"))
bin.set_property("audioenc", gst.element_factory_make("nokiaaacenc"))
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
bin.set_property("filename", "test.mp4")
bin.set_property("mode",1)
#starts recording
bin.emit("user-start")

# wait some time

# stops recording
bin.emit("user-stop")
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_PAUSED)
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_NULL)

Here you are:

Code:
gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=480,framerate=30/1'  ! videorate ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! queue ! mux. avimux name=mux  ! filesink location=output.avi
You should still need to start it and break it manually as it's just a shell command.

Slide open the camera, close the camera app, start the script, put it aside; collect it later if it's not stolen, play the output.avi with mplayer, etc.

No sound, though, as I'm still not quite familiar with N900's way of dealing with sound. Please advise if anyone knows.

May be you could try nicolai's method first.

From the screenshot the location is /home/user/output.avi

You know it'd grow in size so it'd use up your /home/user very soon.

Therefore, you should have cd to /home/user/MyDocs first or enter the absolute path in the command such that the video could be stored in a relative large space.

The video is start recording once you start the command, and will stop when you break it with CTRL-C. You don't see the playback because OP asked for _stealth mode_.

If you wanna see the playback while video-taking, you could use the following:

Code:
gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=480,framerate=30/1' ! tee name=t_vid ! queue ! xvimagesink  sync=false t_vid. ! queue ! videorate ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! queue ! mux. avimux name=mux  ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/output.avi
I use the absolute path above so that the video can be stored under MyDocs.

Again, no sound! It can be done very easily, as long as I know the sound device of N900. ^^

EDIT: missed the word 'large'

NP. The original video recorder might take advantage of the hardware acceleration somehow. I just pull this command straight from gst-launch man page so it's hardly perfect. ^^

I final figure out how to process sound with gst-launch in N900, but the quality is ever lower as it took even more processing power. Just for you and others reference only:

Code:
gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1' ! queue ! videorate ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! queue ! mux. pulsesrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! nokiaaacenc ! queue ! mux. avimux name=mux ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/output.avi
(Remember, do not stop the recording so quick, as the video streaming to file is taking tooo much time)

after installing live focus,open your camera cover(it will also start camera aaplication in full creen mode)now tap anywhere and you will see your status bar(where you battry status and time etc. is shown) tap there(near your battry icon) there would be a new botton(it is for live focus somthing looks like a red ball) click on it and you will see live focus optios! in the right bottom corner there are two arrow to scroll down options for live focus.in otherr words you cannot see live focus unless ur camera lence cover is open.hope this helps
