Encode webcam frames with PyAV into an rr.VideoStream (~10x smaller recordings). New --video-encoder flag: libx264 (default, zerolatency), h264_videotoolbox (Apple hardware), or None for the old JPEG path. Encoder restarts on recording swaps so each take starts with SPS + a keyframe, and pipelined packets are logged at their capture times. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Switches camera logging from per-frame JPEG to an H.264
rr.VideoStream(~10x smaller recordings).Changes
cameras.py: newH264Encoder(PyAV) feedingrr.VideoStream. No B-frames (rerun#10090), libx264 runs zerolatency so packets emit per-frame; packets are logged at their wall-clock capture times even when the encoder pipelines frames. On a recording swap (take collector), the encoder drains into the old recording and restarts so the new take begins with SPS + a keyframe. JPEG remains as fallback if the encoder is unavailable.log_arms.py: new--video-encoderflag —libx264(default),h264_videotoolbox(Apple hardware, near-zero CPU but ~4 frames latency), orNonefor the old JPEG path (--jpeg-quality).pyproject.toml/pixi.lock: addavdependency.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
