I do timelapse imaging, that is each minute I grab an image from a camera and save it as a tif file. In addtion I also write an avi movie with these images.
Here is the problem:
I want to be able to also watch the AVI with vlcplayer WHILE the timelapse runs.
To achieve this I somehow must be able to open the existing avi, append a frame and then close the avi. Unfortunately once I close the avi there is no way to open it and just append a frame. Instead the old avi is overwritten.
How do this?
Reading the old avi and then rewriting it in its entirety is not possible because the movies become quite big and that would take way too long.
Thanks a lot!
