Vita Recorder
Vita Recorder is a plugin that allows to record video clips during your play sessions.

The code is based off VITA2PC at which has been applied improvements and the streaming feature has been replaced with file recording.

current features :

- Allows to record clips of unlimited duration (given enough free storage is available).

- Records clips in RAW mjpeg (can be opened on Windows Media Player and other popular video players as well as can be easily converted to more common formats on PC).

- Allows to downscale on CPU the output to 480x272 allowing for faster transcoding.

- Performs hw encoding in MJPEG thanks to sceJpegEncoder when possible. When resources are not enough, libjpeg-turbo is used instead, as fallback, for software encoding.

- Allows to perform both asynchronous and synchronous recording (The first won't affect game performances but you may end up having some artifacts or some missing frames, the latter will lower game performances but will produce frame perfect clips)

- Allows to apply frameskip on synchronous recording.


Controls :

L + Select = Open the Config Menu
L + Start = Start/Stop Recording (Shortcut)
Triangle = Close Config Menu (when in Config Menu)


Output Videos

The output videos can be found in `ux0:data` named as `vid_TITLEID_DATE_TIME.mjpg

These files are raw mjpeg data and can be played with several video players such as ffplay or WMP.

You can also use `ffmpeg` to convert them in more popular MP4 videos with a command like this (Note: This creates videos with fixed 25 fps) : fmpeg -i video.mjpg -pix_fmt yuv420p -b:v 4000k -c:v libx264 video.mp4






Installation
- Install VPK files to your PS Vita.

- Put VitaRecorder.suprx in your tai folder.
Add the plugin under a section for the game you want to use it for (eg `*GTAVCECTY`) in your config.txt file. (Alternatively you can place it under *ALL but some apps may crash with this due to the resources requirements)

- If you want to use this plugin on commercial games, you'll need to install ioplus as well by adding it in your *KERNEL section in your config.txt.

Latest Version : 1.0

Release Date: 2021/04/21

Notes for this version: Known issues :

- Using Best or High video quality may result in empty videos being created (That's cause not enough resources are available for the encoder).

- Games with variable resolution may acy weirdly since there's no internal fixed rescaling and mjpeg doesn't support variable resolution between frames. (eg: Everybody's Golf)
