This filter writes still image data from a video stream to a file, and depending on the input source it may also encode the image data.

This filter uses the Imaging API internally and therefore the filter has access to any installed image encoders. These encoders may or may not be optimized for the hardware on your device. This filter accepts RGB data for encoding and it also accepts pre-encoded JPEG data. It does not accept YCbCr as the input color space for encoding.

This filter is used to render still images and is the interface to the Imaging API. For more information, see Video Capture.
