Mac version: fwrite takes too long about akvirtualcamera

[hipersayanX]

The delay is because the plugin needs to convert the source frame to the destination frame, the higher the resolution of the frame, the slowest it will get.

The same pixel size of 2M does not freeze on the window version, but it freezes on the mac version.

I freezes completely, or it just lags?

The streaming time has slowed down. It takes about 100ms to write a frame
fwrite(frameRGBBuffer, bufferSize, 1, outputStream);

Hi! Is there any way to send frames to virtual camera without pipe?

One of the bottlenecks is the std::vector used in VideoFrame. The allocation of vector objects costs a lot of time. I have made a modification which improves this.

Based on my profiling, write seems fast enough, the bottleneck is the frequent memory allocation.

@qing-wang I know, I must find some time to port the video converter from Webcamoid to the virtual cameras.

I'm seeing AKVCamManager consuming 85% cpu and can't get past 21fps

I assume this might be related to this issue? Or should I open a new issue? I'm using 9.11 on a intel mac
