Hi there - know this might be a silly question, but asking anyway...
Have managed to sort out capturing screenshots repeatedly, while recording audio in the background, using combination of PIL's ImageGrab, and pyaudio, and can then use moviepy, which is a sort of wrapper around/interface to the FFMPEG command-line utility - this all allows me to record forms of screencast recordings, setting my own forms of time-frames, etc. in terms of the looping interval when I want to capture screenshots, etc., before then combining them into video clips with the audio recording merged in as a background track, and, all works fine, but, we want to use this as a form of monitoring service for call-centre staff, at times, and, the only real remaining issue is file-size/data in terms of both hard-drive storage space, and, bandwidth in terms of submitting resulting data to a RESTFul API.
For example, a test video clip, generated using the libvpx codec, resulting in a .webm file, with a total length of 14 seconds, has a file size of 100KB.
So, know this question might be a waste of time since have already played around with selecting the video codec that generates the smallest resulting file-size, and, not sure if might be able to drop image snapshot file sizes by using something like grayscale, which moviepy doesn't want to work with directly during generating original video clips, just wondering if there might be any way to try converting binary data into smaller data chunks to then upload these via my RESTFul API, where could then convert them back to multimedia formats, etc.?
Any thoughts/suggestions on this type of thing, and, on that note, all of this will be running as something like a background service on call-centre staff's windows 11 machines.
