What it does
- Bag_to_file joins FFMPEGPacket content from a rosbag into an mp4 file and writes a timestamp file linking packets to ROS stamps.
- Bag_to_frames decodes FFMPEGPacket messages from a rosbag into individual image files such as PNG or JPEG.
- Compress_bag encodes Image messages from a rosbag into FFMPEGPacket messages, with an optional quality check of the encoding error.
- Uncompress_bag converts a bag of FFMPEGPacket messages back into regular sensor_msgs/Image messages.
