Is there any way to restrict the duration of output of AVAssetWriter in iOS?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm capturing video/audio samples using ReplayKit apis. Below is the snippet for capturing screen frames



        recorder.startCapture(handler: {
(cmSampleBuffer, rpSampleBufferType, error) in
AssetWriter.shared.write(buffer: cmSampleBuffer, bufferType: rpSampleBufferType)
}, completionHandler: {
(error) in
if let error = error {
self.isCapturing = false
NSLog("Error in capturing screens: (error.localizedDescription)")
} else {
self.isCapturing = true
NSLog("Capturing started successfully.")
}
self.updateViewButtons()
})


and converting those cmSampleBuffers using AVAssetWriter to a movie file, but I want to restrict the size of movie file say 1 min if it goes beyond then it capture last 1 min only.

          The tricky part is 'keeping the last 1min only'; to my knowledge, there is no easy way to do this. So your best bet will probably be something like:




          • while recording, start a new AVAssetWriter each minute, and keep just the current and the previous recording around

          • when recording is finished and it comes to assembling that 'last 1 minute'


            • open the previous and current recording as AVAssets

            • insert time ranges from these into a new AVMutableComposition so that they result in this last 1 minute of recording

            • export the composition with an AVAssetExportSession to the final movie (using the passthrough preset will spare you the overhead/quality loss of re-encoding)
