[PD] Capture Gem output: best practices?

[cyrille henry]

for performance, I record every fader and control, so pd can play the performance again.
then I record every image (not in real time) : it allows a very good recording quality, with very few CPU  load during the performance.
cheers

Expensive, but if the former solutions are not viable, then it's the only way. For example you have a live performance with audio and your computer is on its limits CPU wise, so it would crash or crackle if you would run A) or B).
