A/V Recorder plugin - alpha version

Recently finished implementing the alpha version of the a/v repository plugin for Moodle 2.3.x dev release. The plugin UI is still in its early stage, but works smoothly nonetheless. I have updated the repo and moodle tracker about this development.

The plugin uses YUI 3 to make an ajax request based on the type of recorder selected by the user - audio/video. Audio recorder uses the Nanogong applet whilst the Video recorder uses the demo version of the Vimas applet. Vimas applet works only on Windows/Mac OS whereas Nanogong is cross platform.

Would be working to fine-tune both the framework and UI of the plugin in the coming week.

Update : Standalone Video Recorder

Had a discussion with Rajesh Sir yesterday and he brought to notice that the end-users for the plugin would mostly be Windows/Mac which means the Video Recorder using Video4Linux v4l4j project would not be the first thing on priority.

Following the discussion. I have decided to shift to Windows and use the demo version (20 secs of recording) of the Vimas Java Applet to build the Video Recorder plugin. The applet is functional on Windows/Mac. Later I could use the v4l4j project to build one for Linux.  

I have already got the Standalone version to work using the applet, tweaked the code to suit the needs of the plugin.

Here is the git-repo : https://github.com/ankitdbst/Video-Recorder
