Video recording and formatting

Technical Support & Q&A

Hi, I tried out using Orbbec viewer to record our videos and I understand that it outputs ROS bag files. I just have two questions:

  1. Is it possible to get other output e.g. .mkv files from Orbbec Viewer?
  2. Can the ROS bags file be opened with something else besides Orbbec Viewer or to do that do we then have to use the SDK?

I’m asking this as we will use the recorded depth information in Python/C++ for analyses and my previous scripts uses .mkv files since we were using Azure Kinect for our previous project.

1.OrbbecViewer doesn’t support other output, however, we have k4a wrapper to support mkv files.
2.You have to use OrbbecViewer or SDK for the bag files
