Description

in the past there has been ofxQtVideoSaver and a few others. i think this is a really hard problem because it basically needs to be written for each platform, but something that should eventually be solved.

two major use cases i know are:

  • capturing and saving simultaneously, for long streams
  • capturing a quick burst of video then saving it to disk

which would might be handled a little differently.
