    Thanks for the reply.

    I am interesting in using HAP because it allows for videos with an alpha layer.
    Also, i am right away loading the videos back in to my software and do not have the time (and code) for transcoding.

    I liked the idea of HAP because as i understand it it uses the GPU for decoding and faster loading:

    It would be super if the next version of syphon recorder has some sort of apple script or OSC communication possibilities.

    Thanks.

    hey vade.

    thanks i will give that a try.

    i am writing software that triggers new recordings all the time. i then load those recordings back in to my software.

    i used to use a build in openframeworks recording tool but i does not support the HAP encoding. But syphon recorder does.

    right now i am trying to er-implement certain features but most are weird workarounds like:
    -knowing when the recorder is done writing the file, by monitoring the changing from .vootrecording to .mov
    -knowing how many frames have been recorded, by counting the mills seconds since recording was triggered
    -setting resolution and file path, by hopefully altering the ‘defaults’
    -freely choose the complete file name without any fixed prefixes or time stamps

    i know this is not the main focus of the syphon recorder, but i thought i share my thoughts.

    and please know i think syphon recorder is a great app !
    thx.
