As somewhat of a cheesy hack, can't you capture the desired views or window content as bitmaps on schedule and queue them for processing to a file or set of files to be converted into a video?
If it's not your app that you want the client to record, couldn't you make an SDK for game vendors to adopt? I realize I'm way out here in "speculation land™" with this gross assumption, but we certainly use the front and back cameras with AVFoundation at a decent FPS. I wonder if you could redirect the screen buffer to take the place of one of the camera feeds. On Jan 22, 2016, at 12:50 PM, Clark S. Cox III wrote: > Unfortunately, what you ask is not possible.
