Saves a video by piping it into ffmpeg.

An example for the arguments to be passed here is ["-c:v", "libx264", "-crf", "23", "vv_%N_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.mp4"], which saves a MP4 video with the date and time in its name.

Inputs

Primary input (Buffer): the frames to save

Outputs

None.

Configuration

Additional fields:

• fps (number): the framerate that the video should be saved with. This should match the camera framerate.
• args (array of strings): arguments for the output format of ffmpeg (everything after the -). strftime escapes, along with %i and %N for pipeline ID and pipeline name, are supported and can be replaced.
• ffmpeg (string, optional): an override for the ffmpeg command
