NAME

       fakenect-record - program to save dumps from kinect to file

SYNOPSIS

       fakenect-record [-h] [-ffmpeg] [-ffmpeg-opts options] outputdir

DESCRIPTION

       fakenect-record dumps the output of the kinect in outputdir folder. It saves the acceleration, depth, and
       rgb data as individual files with names in the form "TYPE-CURRENTIME-TIMESTAMP" where:

        * TYPE is either (a)ccel, (d)epth, or (r)gb

        * TIMESTAMP corresponds to the timestamp associated with the observation (or in the case of accel, the
          last timestamp seen)

        * CURRENTTIME corresponds to a floating point version of the time in seconds.

       The purpose of storing the current time is so that delays can be recreated exactly as they occurred.  For
       RGB and DEPTH the dump is just the entirety of the data provided in PPM and PGM formats respectively
       (just a 1 line header above the raw dump).  For ACCEL, the dump is the "freenect_raw_tilt_state".  Only
       the front part of the file name is used, with the rest left undefined (extension, extra info, etc).

       A file called INDEX.txt is also output with all of the filenames local to that directory to simplify the
       format (e.g., no need to read the directory structure).

       Once started, the program will continue to acquire data from the kinect.  When you want to stop it, hit
       Ctrl-C and the signal will be caught, runloop stopped, and everything will be stored cleanly.

OPTIONS

       -ffmpeg
              If present, send the the video stream to ffmpeg

       -ffmpeg-opts options
              When using ffmpeg, specify the options to be used with it. If unspecified, it will use the options
              "-aspect 4:3 -r 20 -vcodec msmpeg4 -b 30000k"
