Introducing {mp4encoder} - an H.264/mp4 encoder for #RStats written in R itself!
https://github.com/coolbutuseless/mp4encoder
Features:
* Fast encoding e.g. 700fps for 800x600 native rasters
* Images may be RGB arrays or native rasters
* mp4 videos can be played on majority of OSs + browsers
* does not use 3rd party encoding libraries - meaning it will work anywhere you have R
* does all its encoding in R using {ctypesio} & {bitstreamio} for byte/bit manipulation
Caveat: it only writes uncompressed video
Videos created and encoded in #RStats with {mp4encoder}
If you're at all interested, please kick-the-tyres on {mp4encoder} - I plan to put this on CRAN. #RStats
E.g.
* Do the created videos work on your OS?
* Works for me on macOS, firefox, chrome, vlc
* Do they work in VLC on your OS?
* Do they work in your main web browser?
* Can you easily re-encode them to more compressed forms (e.g. using Handbrake)
@coolbutuseless I'm on Android, on the Tusky Mastodon client. The one video that doesn't work is the 3rd one, that should show a grid of scatter plots (all I can see from the thumbnail, which is visible) - when I play it all I can see is green. I've had this problem with some YouTube videos in the past.
