Capture .mov video programmatically

PostWed Oct 17, 2012 1:26 pm

Hi colleagues.
I managed capturing frames programatically by the BM SDK from a Decklink Studio 2 card.
I can preview captured frames, but I would like to save them into a .mov file. How should I continue?
I thing I coud "collect" and store frames by the frame->get bytes() method.

What i dont know whether the BM SDK is able to export the frames collection to .mov format, or I will need some other libraries to make the video file?

Thanks for reply

Best regards

We don't provide the functions to generate a MOV file. You will have to do the MOV file generation yourself.
