Research direction

Start by reproducing the two-camera V3 wide-angle setup described in the issue, comparing the Python recording path with the libcamera-vid command-line path. Document the settings or limitation that explains the reduced frame rate and cropping, and verify that the resulting instructions address full-view recording at the requested frame rate.

Description

I've tried to set the framerate and change the frame duration limits but it doesn't seems to change anything. I also tried to put the resolution from 2304x1296 to 1536x864, it able me to get a higher fps but the video is cropped. When I connect a second camera v3 the fps are divided by 2 (turning around 10 fps).

Do anyone know how I could get to 50 fps with the full veiw of the wide angle ? Weirdly it seems to work when I launch the recording from the cmd using libcamera-vid
