Running bookworm and picamera2
If I run circular_capture_nooutput.py from the examples on GitHub it works. I would like to change it to save a .mp4 file rather than a .h264. I have changed the encoder and file type here -It appears to run OK but when I try to play the file using Celluloid it give me a blank screen for a little while then the message "Playback was terminated abnormally. Reason:unrecognized file format."
How can I get it to record an .mp4 (or other web friendly format) file
I have found loads of info on line but nothing that explains how to do this. Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Mick
