Converting Texture2D into a video

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

I’ve did a lot of research, but I can’t find a suitable solution for my application. I’m using a Fove-HMD and would like to record/make a video of the integrated camera. So far I managed to take a snapshot every update of the camera, but I can’t find a way to merge this snapshots into a video. Does someone know a way of converting them? Or can someone point me in the right direction, in which I could continue my research?

public class FoveCamera : SingletonBase<FoveCamera>
{

	private bool camAvailable;
	private WebCamTexture foveCamera;
    private List<Texture2D> snapshots;

    void Start ()
	{
		//-------------just checking if webcam is available
		WebCamDevice[] devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
		if (devices.Length == 0)
		{
			Debug.LogError("FoveCamera could not be found.");
			camAvailable = false;
			return;
		}

		foreach (WebCamDevice device in devices)
		{
			if (device.name.Equals("FOVE Eyes"))
				foveCamera = new WebCamTexture(device.name);//screen.width and screen.height 
		}

		if (foveCamera == null)
		{
			Debug.LogError("FoveCamera could not be found.");
			return;
		}
		//-------------camera found, start with the video
		
		foveCamera.Play();
		camAvailable = true;
	}
	
	void Update () {
		if (!camAvailable)
		{
			return;
		}

        //loading snap from camera
		Texture2D snap = new Texture2D(foveCamera.width,foveCamera.height);
        snap.SetPixels(foveCamera.GetPixels());
        snapshots.Add(snap);
	}
}

The code works so far. The first part of the Start-Method is just for finding and enabling the camera. In the Update-Method I’m taking every update a snapshot of the video.

After I “stop” the Update-Method, I would like to convert the gathered Texture2D object into a video.

Thanks in advance

Following this. I’m literally trying to do the same thing.
