    \brief Recording audio and video using Qt Quick.

    \e{QML Recorder} demonstrates a simple application that can record
    audio and video separate or together, using a microphone, a camera, or
    with screen capturing.

    \include examples-run.qdocinc

    \section1 Overview
    At its core, this is a QML application, see
    \l{Getting started with Qt Quick applications}. This documentation is
    focused on how this example uses the \l{Qt Multimedia QML Types}.

    \image qml-recorder-overview.gif
           {Animation cycling through QML objects declared in Main.qml}

    The example uses the QML \l Camera and \l AudioInput types connected to a
    \l CaptureSession. A \l MediaRecorder object is then used to record the
    captured audio and video.

    In addition to QtMultimedia, features of Qt Quick Windows, Controls, and
    Layouts are used to implement the graphic user interface and functionality.
    Playback won't be covered here, for that see the \l{QML Media Player Example}.

    The example demonstrates the following:
    \list
        \li Input devices can be selected.
        \li An input type switched off.
        \li Settings for capturing such as quality, codec choice, file format,
        and assigning metadata.
        \li Captured files are stored and can be played back.
    \endlist

    \section1 Recording

    The application implements recording.

    \section2 captureSession

    In \c Main.qml, \c captureSession is declared like so:

    \quotefromfile video/recorder/Main.qml
    \skipto CaptureSession
    \printto MediaRecorder

    \section2 recorder

    In \c Main.qml, the \l MediaRecorder \c recorder handles recording media
    as well as capturing a thumbnail for the file and appending it to a ListModel,
    \c mediaList.
    \printto Playback

    \c mediaList is declared in the \l Frame \c mediaListFrame
    \quotefromfile video/recorder/Main.qml
    \skipto Frame
    \printuntil playback: playback

    \section2 controls

    \image qml-recorder-control-bar-overview.gif
           {Animation cycling through column layouts in control panel}

    These are defined in \c Controls.qml and declared in Main.qml.

    Its root is a \l Row that contains the \l{Column}{Columns} \c inputControls,
    \c recordButton, \c optionButtons, each defined in their own .qml files.

    \section3 Selecting a video source

    Defined in \c VideoSourceSelect.qml, \c VideoSourceSlect is comprised of a
    \l Switch and a \l ComboBox and enables the user to select from available
    cameras.

    \quotefromfile video/recorder/VideoSourceSelect.qml
    \skipto Row
    \printto ComboBox

    \c comboBox, declared in the above snippet, assigns the current video source.

    \printuntil camera.cameraDevice = currentValue.camera

    \section3 Selecting an audio input

    Implemented in the same way as \l{Selecting a video source} and defined in
    \c AudioInputSelect.qml like so:

    \quotefromfile video/recorder/AudioInputSelect.qml
    \skipto Row
    \printto audioInput.device = currentValue
