Chrome Bug 897727 - MediaRecorder using Canvas.captureStream() fails for large canvas elements on Android

I've encountered a bug in Chrome on Android where MediaRecorder, using Canvas.captureStream(), fails to encode video from large canvas elements (e.g., 1280x720). While the process works on desktop Chrome, on Android, the recording stops abruptly at unpredictable points, likely due to limitations in the MediaRecorder API's encoding capabilities. A smaller canvas (640x480) works fine, suggesting resolution-based limitations. I've reported this as Chrome bug 897727 and created a demo to illustrate the issue.
