Any idea of a timeframe--weeks or months?
I checked in some very preliminary code to do this in r487
This adds a -pbm option to dumpframes. This saves the viewport data as
ppm and the bitmap (ui overlay) as
pam. You can use -novp or -nobm to turn either one off.
The files are saved in the original resolution of the data, without any aspect ratio correction so they will appear quite distorted on most cameras.
pam is not as widely supported as other the other netpbm formats, but is the only one that supports an alpha channel. Imagmagick convert can be used to turn them into something more common.
Since the images are unscaled, you would probably want to run them through something like imagemagick or the netpbm tools anyway.
This is very preliminary, I will probably change things significantly before the the next released build.
Some things I'd like to do
- support dumping the frames from an existing lvdump file
- support piping the pbm data directly to another program
- recording frames from the gui while live view is running
- better control of the filenames
