Render stutter using writer

vvvv beta question
1

Hello,
does anybody know how I can take screenshots of my renderer in the background without making the renderer stutter and stopping to draw for a ms?

There was a discussion Writer(File) banging write causes stutter, is this normal behaviour? - question - Forum but no solution

Thank you, best p

I am afraid you can’t really, if you are using it as a ‘record my renderer option’, then this is not the way to do it.

Read here (and many posts like these): How to record what you see in your renderer? - question - Forum

And if you are wanting to do this for some other reason, please let us know, there might be some tricks out there.

I have resolved the problem with running a second instance of vvvv.
The second instance is receiving the texture via sharedmemory.

I have attached my solution.
There is also a .bat file to start the instances…

Thank you West.
