Faster startup time?

[phuongnd08]

videosnap is awesome, it gives much better experience compared to ffmpeg on video recording. Onething is that the startup time is quite costly, which is not ideal if you need to record multiple small videos instead of a big one. I wonder if there is a way to speed that up, if not, perhaps allow videosnap to run in server mode where it possible to tell it when to start/stop capture video and it will respond in just a matter of milliseconds.

The startup time is really out of my control, due to Apple's hardware and AVFoundation APIs. I think the server approach (i.e. a background process/daemon) is probably the best way to have quick start recording from the command.

I'm swamped with other work right now. If anyone wants to have a go at building this out, feel free.
