When recording with ipi Recorder via kinect the compression button vanishes. Also there is only 30 fps and 640x480 chooseable. So my hdd is too slow. I won't buy another one just for this software.

What are the alternatives? I tried recording depth information in another software and tint it blue but no success. How to fake having recorded with ipi Recorder?

Hi.

The BLue information is invisible depth.

Meaning the depth is not viewable except in iPi studio,.

Tinting Blue does not do anything.

Have you tryed to disable RGB recording?

Then record a blue depth movie?

It's the same. The I/O buffer bar decreases and after about 5 seconds the error message is displayed.

We digress.

Question is: How to fake having recorded with ipi Recorder? Please answer that.

You cant fake a blue movie..

The depth movie information is stored inside the AVI file format.

That is the information that determines distances and places bone joints on the corresponding armatures skeleton.

If you compress that (movie) data or use a filter plg, it will destroy the invisible distance data inside rendering it useless.

Try turning off external services and experiment with the recorder settings...

Also record your blue movies to a seperate drive,

You may still be able to get it going...

It is not working. Tell me, how the software is converting depth information into this video and I'll try to code a workaround for my "slow" harddrive.

If you have enough RAM and are recording short clips, you could make a RAM drive and save the video onto that. The recording eats up disk space pretty quick, so unless you have a lot of RAM you won't be able to record that much, but it's a good solution if you have the RAM available.

If you could post what hardware you are using we could make other recommendations possibly. Setting up a couple partitions to use as a RAID-0 array or enabling disk compression (assuming your cpu can keep up) can also help give you enough disk throughput to keep up.

I wish I knew.

best wishes..

Does not confirm


You know more but don't want to share it. Or you know less and state wrong facts on purpose.

Hi, I honestly have no idea.

I would suggest trying recording the blue movies on a seperate drive, not your system drive.

There is no way to compress the video without destroying the data...

Cheers
