    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.

        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.
