[PD] Capture Gem output: best practices?

[Federico Camara Halac]

Very interesting question, indeed.

I have only used Max's option A (pix_snap, pix_record) and they work fine.
If CPU is at the limit, what I have done is just go via ethernet to a
second computer, and do all video rendering and recording there, leaving
the main one for audio only.

I have some more follow-up questions, though:

Do you use pix_write for this, with larger window dimensions?

Do you also use the FSAA message? Does it affect pix_write / pix_record
quality ?

Extra questions:

is "batch" mode an option for non-realtime recording ? or would it not work
with Gem? I have never tried this.

How did you achieve this, in a simple text file like using [text], [text
sequence], or something else?

Cheers!
