However, this is difficult to do well, because the ".mp4" file format is ill-suited for what we are trying to do here: Record a file that properly represents incoming audio and video frames that are time-stamped.  But undoubtedly this is one part of our code that could be improved.

The result should be one file containing video and audio.
If mp4 is an ill-suited format, what else would you recommend? Other file format or different workflow? Better to record the video- and audio-session separately and merge afterwards?
