Save 1000s frames from Kinect in Image Acquisition Toolbox (IMAQ)

Hello! I am using IMAQ to save and use depth information from Kinect. Everthing is going fine, but I really need to acquire a series of 1000 consecutive frames and work on them, reading the depth information.

The problem is of course that I encounter an 'out of memory' error, since the images are uncompressed and very heavy. I tried setting the Region of Interest (since I would be interested in just 1 pixel, and that would not be so heavy in itself, a few MBs) but I encounter the error all the same. It seems that IMAQ acquires the whole frame anyway, even if I just ask for 1 pixel.

If I log to disk it will compress the frame and I'll lose the depth information, right? Is there any solution to this?

Hi, can you post the code so i can understand how you are doing it?

HI, please write in small chunks of frames instead of one single file.
