java - Encryption of video files?

Question

I am using this method for encrypting a video file:

public static void encryptToBinaryFile(String password, byte[] bytes, File file) throws EncrypterException {
    try {
        final byte[] rawKey = getRawKey(password.getBytes());
        final FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file, false);

        ostream.write(encrypt(rawKey, bytes));
        ostream.flush();
        ostream.close();

    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new EncrypterException(e);
    }
}

private static byte[] encrypt(byte[] raw, byte[] clear) throws EncrypterException {
    try {
       final SecretKeySpec skeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(raw, "AES");
       final Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
       cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skeySpec);

       return cipher.doFinal(clear);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new EncrypterException(e);
    }
}

But It gives an error Outofmemoryerror saying rejecting allocation of 301023321 element.

1.Is the method I am using correct for such big files?

2.If yes why I am getting this error?What is solution?

3.If no please suggest some good method for that?

CipherInputStream and CipherOutputStream will help you do that easily. I wrote a sample program to encrypt and decrypt a video file. Modify it as per your choice...

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("D:/Shashank/inputVideo.avi"));
        File outfile = new File("D:/Shashank/encVideo.avi");
        int read;
        if(!outfile.exists())
            outfile.createNewFile();
        File decfile = new File("D:/Shashank/decVideo.avi");
        if(!decfile.exists())
            decfile.createNewFile();
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outfile);
        FileInputStream encfis = new FileInputStream(outfile);
        FileOutputStream decfos = new FileOutputStream(decfile);
        Cipher encipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
        Cipher decipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
        KeyGenerator kgen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES");
        //byte key[] = {0x00,0x32,0x22,0x11,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x23,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00};
        SecretKey skey = kgen.generateKey();
        //Lgo
        encipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey);
        CipherInputStream cis = new CipherInputStream(fis, encipher);
        decipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, skey);
        CipherOutputStream cos = new CipherOutputStream(decfos,decipher);
        while((read = cis.read())!=-1)
                {
                    fos.write((char)read);
                    fos.flush();
                }   
        fos.close();
        while((read=encfis.read())!=-1)
        {
            cos.write(read);
            cos.flush();
        }
    cos.close(); 

I am generating a new key using generateKey(). You can use a byte array too, to generate your own key....
