I'm looking to record the preview stream to a video on the host using C++ instead of Python. In searching the forum I found How to record color video with 1920*1080 resolution? and its links to documentation including recording with DepthAI.
Unfortunately, the examples are only in Python and I'm wondering if there are C++ examples (it seems the SDK code samples are solely in Python where API code samples are in both Python and C++).
The Python example that seems the most promising is gen2-container-encoding but I don't know the best C++ equivalent for L44's av
Python dependency. I also don't know if there are more modern ways to record in C++ using depthai as this seems like it is or should be an out-of-the-box feature.
So my questions are:
- What are my options for recording the preview stream to a video on the host using C++? Ideally to an mp4.
- Must the host have ffmpeg installed to create the final mp4? I ask as my customers aren't guaranteed to have ffmpeg installed (which suggests to me that I'll need to update my custom dll to also include it and any other dependencies)
