had to add a custom video capture solution that captures the last 30 seconds of a process for crash handling purposes.

Commanded from above? This smells like a noob idea.

I have no idea what your response even means/is getting at.

This is my attempt to translate: You had to add a feature like that ? Must have been an order from your boss. That seems like a feature someone rather inexperienced and unknowledgeable would request.

  1. Legal has issues with using existing libraries (including MIT). Definitely idiotic, but I can’t control that.
  2. Idea was mine.
  3. Subprocess that captures parent process active video with a rolling buffer for crash handling purposes is absolutely necessary when trying to reproduce issues in development (Gamedev editor). If you think associating the last 15s prior to a crash with a mindump isn’t helpful for debugging, I don’t know what to tell you.
