no

I may be overthinking it but this gives me “AI generated trying to look like photoshop” vibes. There’s some weird distortion in top half that actually slants the panels but that could just be a particularly avant-garde kind of deep frying.

I’m no expert but I believe ffmpeg will be using the rawvideo decoder to read that file. If it appears to work I guess the stream output by v4l2-ctl happens to match up closely enough with the default parameters listed in that doc, you may want to work out what it is and double check compatibility though.

The difference from a regular container is that it’s uncompressed (hence the size) and can’t include any metadata (hence the need to specify parameters manually). v4l2-ctl writing in this format means it doesn’t need to worry about compressing and encoding the video on-the-fly, which would complicate the implementation and might not always be feasible in real-time.

If you wanted to avoid the intermediate file you should be able to pipe v4l2-ctl directly into ffmpeg.

I interpreted it as about like, microprocessor design and nanometer scale electronics and shit. Electrons are basically elves in my book.

“Responsible disclosure” is a term of art, I think that’s why they use the word there.
