If the path cannot be used for some reason (file already exists, parent path doesn't exist, path is NULL, ...), a new file is created in a system's chosen temporary file location. */

- (void) keepMovieFile;
//Causes the MovieRecorder to forget about the current movie file. I.e. it will not be deleted when the MovieRecorder instance is deallocated. Afterwards, the instance has no connection to the file any more (this also means that it cannot return the movie path any more). This ususally means that the called MovieRecorder object becomes useless - you probably want to release it after this call.
