  • I don't want to ruin your fun but the documentation (Chapter 7, capturing videos) shows a pretty easy and straightforward example how to capture a video directly to the disk. I see no need to care about any low-level stuff. Commented Nov 14, 2024 at 10:20
  • Thank you for pointing such an obvious thing out! I had run some tests. Camera was set to record a 10s@55 FPS video. Saving directly to disk yields a video with ~430 frames. On the other hand, when running a program like in the first scenario the video produced has consistently 550 frames, that is, no frames were missed. Thanks. @Jeyekomon Commented Nov 14, 2024 at 12:36
  • What is bin_fd? (You're using it without having defined it.) Commented Nov 14, 2024 at 14:06
  • Right! Edited the post to include it. Its the file descriptor for the binary output file. Thanks for pointing that out @nocomment Commented Nov 14, 2024 at 14:38
