video-recorder

Experimental browser module for recording contents of a tag by taking dataURI snapshots of it.

Written as a CommonJS module, so it works out of the box with browserify. If using with AMD or as standalone use video-recorder.bundle.js file instead.

Tested primarily in Chrome.

why?

You can use it to record and play back video at approximately 10fps in chrome. I was largely curious how well it would work. Turns out it's not too shabby.

The data is stored in an array as Base64 encoded PNGs using dataURIs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/data_URIs. This could be uploaded to a server and stitched into a video file using something like ffmpeg.

But it can also just be played back to the user using: https://github.com/HenrikJoreteg/fauxplay (as seen in the demo).

Obviously, there's no sound being recorded, but it could be interesting to mix this with screen capture support for in-browser screencast recordings.
