Based on the provided code and issue description, I’ll provide an updated version of the captureOutput method with some improvements to handle both video and audio output buffers efficiently. - (void)captureOutput:(AVCaptureSession *)session didOutputSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer fromConnection:(AVCaptureConnection *)connection { lastSampleTime = CMSampleBufferGetPresentationTimeStamp(sampleBuffer); if (!CMSampleBufferDataIsReady(sampleBuffer)) { NSLog(@"sample buffer is not ready. Skipping sample"); return; } if (isRecording == YES) { switch (videoWriter.status) { case AVAssetWriterStatusUnknown: NSLog(@"First time execute"); if (CMTimeCompare(lastSampleTime, kCMTimeZero) == 0) { lastSampleTime = CMSampleBufferGetPresentationTimeStamp(sampleBuffer); } [videoWriter startWriting]; [videoWriter startSessionAtSourceTime:lastSampleTime]; // Break if not ready, otherwise fall through.

Understanding GroupBy in Pandas: What Happens to the Column Used for Grouping? When working with dataframes in pandas, one common operation is grouping a dataframe by one or more columns. This allows you to perform aggregation operations on the grouped data. However, an important question arises when using groupby: what happens to the column used for grouping? Does it still exist as a separate column in the resulting dataframe? Background and Context To answer this question, we need to understand how pandas’ groupby function works and its role in creating new dataframes.

Filtering Rows Based on Conditional Criteria in SQL and Python In this article, we will explore how to filter rows from a dataset based on certain conditions.
