Description
Recording 5 high-throughput RGB streams at once doesn't work today: raw or lossless (LZ-style) frames are far too much for the write path, and the per-frame JPEG we fall back to (memory2/codecs/base.py, quality 50) is lossy and still has no inter-frame compression. H264 should fix it (roughly an order of magnitude smaller, hardware-accelerated via NVENC/VideoToolbox), but DIM-1455 has to land first since our recorder formats are stateless and a stateful codec breaks that.

Research direction
Start by reading memory2/codecs/base.py, especially the current per-frame JPEG path and its quality-50 setting. Check the recorder format changes required by DIM-1455 before investigating H264 support. Done means recording five high-throughput RGB streams with an H264 path that supports inter-frame compression without breaking the recorder's state model.
