Question: Frame acquisition and compression through a GPU

[GautamSridhar]

Hello,

We are planning to set up stytra using a Mikrotron camera with NI frame grabber 1433. For our purposes, we would also like to save the videos, but a high frame rate, high resolution video might be difficult to save if we run an experiment for a few hours. Does stytra allow us to compress frames in real time via a GPU, and save in ffmpeg format ?

If not, could I be pointed to the part in the backend that manages the framegrabbing and saving ? I would like to see if we can possibly build on this aspect, so I could fork the repository and add this as a feature if there is any interest.
