I have the following code which works for iOS 6 & 7.x.
In iOS 8.1 I have a strange issue where if you capture a session for about 13 seconds or longer, the resulting AVAsset only has 1 track (video), the audio track is just not there.
If you record for a shorter period the AVAsset has 2 tracks (video and audio) as expected. I have plenty of disk space, the app has permission to use camera and microphone.
I created a new project with minimal code, it reproduced the issue.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
