[vlc-devel] Snapshot - 3 frames at a time

[Feng Yang]

I would like to take snapshot of video 3 consecutive frames at a time. What 
is the best way to do so?

Right now, I am thinking of a simple change:

(1) changing vout_intf.c

case VOUT_SNAPSHOT:
p_vout->b_snapshot = 3; // orig: VLC_TRUE; 
return VLC_SUCCESS;
break;


(2) in video_output.c

if( p_picture && p_vout->b_snapshot )
{
p_vout->b_snapshot --; /* = VLC_FALSE; */ 
vout_Snapshot( p_vout, p_picture );
}

Is there any problem on this change? When the frame size is large, the 
saving of 3 pictures to disk will take time. Would VLC guarentees that 3 
consecutive frames are save?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Feng
P.S. Actually, is it possible to buffer 3 frame first and then save it in 
one shot. I would prefer this way if possible.
