Hi @fusari,

Unless you have a MAVLink-enabled camera that supports onboard recording then pymavlink is unrelated to the video stream. If you want to programmatically start/stop video recording then you’ll need to create or use a program that can do that (likely using ffmpeg or gstreamer or similar), in which case the saved videos will be wherever you decide to put them 🙂
