Great to see this thread, I blogged about video recording on PinePhone a while ago, kept tinkering (I switched to VP8 encoding, as that's a lot faster), but then did not do any further experiments. Now (after upgrading to postmarketOS 22.12) my changes are no longer enough to get video recording working.
This may motivate me to play with video recording again
One avenue worth exploring is tinkering with Millipixels, Purism's Megapixels fork for the Librem 5. They have video recording working in the latest builds from CI (meaning, it's not in a release yet, but the code is merged). As libcamera support is up-and-coming for the PinePhone camera (see Adam Piggs work on a camera app for Sailfish OS), this might be the fastest route to proper PinePhone video recording with a GUI app.
Also, I really look forward to this FOSDEM talk.
