Video recording with kinect

Question

Is there a default way to generate a Video File directly from the kinect camera (Just the RGB?)

Answer 1

The Kinect SDK does not provide a way to capture to a file. You will have to write your own code to process the frames. Keep in mind if you are using a managed language, you will have to copy the frame out of the returned frame data and process this on another thread.

Additionally, there had been a thread regarding wrapping the Kinect functionality in a DirectShow filter. The details of how to do this and DirectShow should be discussed in another forum.

Answer 2

Carmine Si their is a directshow filter written by scott other then contacting him in this thread its outside the discussion of this forum and you do have to tweak the filter to get it to work with your specific program:

this will allow you to plug in the kinect and use the rgb view on it but he has one for depth view also as a camera device in normal programs.
