My application uses RxCamera for taking pictures, and I have recently added video recording to my app
That's the code that worked for me and, hope will help this library...

private RxCamera rxCamera;
private MediaRecorder mediaRecorder;

public void startRecording() {
    if(!prepareMediaRecorder()) {
        Log.d("---", "Failed recording");
        return;
    }
    try {
        mediaRecorder.start();
    } catch (final Exception e) {
        Log.i("---", "Exception");
    }
}

public void stopRecording() {
    mediaRecorder.stop(); // stop the recording
    releaseMediaRecorder(); // release the MediaRecorder object
    Log.d("---", "Video Captured!");
}

private void releaseMediaRecorder() {
    if(mediaRecorder != null) {
        mediaRecorder.reset(); //clear recorder config
        mediaRecorder.release(); // release the recorder
        mediaRecorder = null;
        rxCamera.getNativeCamera().lock(); //lock the camera for later use
    }
}

private boolean prepareMediaRecorder() {
    rxCamera.getNativeCamera().unlock();
    mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
    mediaRecorder.setCamera(rxCamera.getNativeCamera());
    mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
    mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
    try {
        mediaRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_1080P));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        try {
            mediaRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_720P));
        } catch (Exception er) {
            mediaRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_480P));
        }
    }
    mediaRecorder.setOutputFile("/sdcard/video.mp4");
    mediaRecorder.setMaxDuration(-1); //Unlimited duration...
    mediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(30);
    try {
        mediaRecorder.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        releaseMediaRecorder();
        return false;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        releaseMediaRecorder();
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
