NAME

6       fakenect-record - program to save dumps from kinect to file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fakenect-record [-h] [-ffmpeg] [-ffmpeg-opts options] outputdir
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fakenect-record dumps the output of the kinect in outputdir folder. It
13       saves the acceleration, depth, and rgb data as individual files with
14       names in the form "TYPE-CURRENTIME-TIMESTAMP" where:
15
16        * TYPE is either (a)ccel, (d)epth, or (r)gb
17
18        * TIMESTAMP corresponds to the timestamp associated with the
19          observation (or in the case of accel, the last timestamp seen)
20
21        * CURRENTTIME corresponds to a floating point version of the time in
22          seconds.
23
24       The purpose of storing the current time is so that delays can be
25       recreated exactly as they occurred.  For RGB and DEPTH the dump is just
26       the entirety of the data provided in PPM and PGM formats respectively
27       (just a 1 line header above the raw dump).  For ACCEL, the dump is the
28       "freenect_raw_tilt_state".  Only the front part of the file name is
29       used, with the rest left undefined (extension, extra info, etc).
30
31       A file called INDEX.txt is also output with all of the filenames local
32       to that directory to simplify the format (e.g., no need to read the
33       directory structure).
34
35       Once started, the program will continue to acquire data from the
36       kinect.  When you want to stop it, hit Ctrl-C and the signal will be
37       caught, runloop stopped, and everything will be stored cleanly.

OPTIONS

40       -ffmpeg

44              When using ffmpeg, specify the options to be used with it. If
45              unspecified, it will use the options "-aspect 4:3 -r 20 -vcodec
46              msmpeg4 -b 30000k"
