Hello,

Is it possible with the SDK to create a raw file containing multiple frames? I need to make videos that should last an average of 30 seconds.
And then create the video from this raw file?

Another question: will this be faster than creating videos from Spinnaker::Video::SpinVideo

Best regards,

  Hello Grégory,

  It is possible to write the acquired frames into an generic file on your hard drive. We are showing how to do this in our AcquisitionMultipleCamerasWriteToFile source code example, that comes with Spinnaker SDK. After finishing acquisition, this examples saves each frame into a single image file. To save the frames to a video file, please refer to our SaveToVideo source code example. This would help you to adapt the code.
  This method would be faster during the time of acquiring frames.

  Please let us know if this works for you.

  Best Regards,
  Markus
