🧱 Continuous Recording - articulateinstruments/AAA-DeepLabCut-Resources GitHub Wiki

For short recordings of approximately 1 minute or less we recommend that you use AAA's button.

If you want to make longer recordings, you can use the button.

Continuous Recordings lets you make arbitrarily long recordings, limited only by your computer's available storage space. However, Continuous Recordings can only be analysed in chunks, due to technical limitations of how large a recording AAA can load at once.

When you press the button, the following dialog will appear:

1. Choose what types of data you want to record.
   Every type of data you want to record increases the amount of storage space on your computer that is needed, so you will fill your computer's storage faster the more data types you have selected.
   
   (Please note that as of AAA version 221.5.4 you can only do Continuous Recording of audio and ultrasonic data. We plan to add continuous recording of video in a coming update relatively soon.)

2. Choose how your recorded data will be stored on your computer.
   These settings allow you to preallocate space on your computer's storage. This is useful if your computer has a slow hard-drive, if you have very little free space on your computer, or if other software on your computer interferes with new files as they are created (for example, automated backup software or antivirus software).
   
   You can still record beyond the limits of your preallocated space: If your continuous recording fills up the preallocated space then AAA will create new files in real-time to store the extra data, as long as there is free storage space on your computer to do so.
