Could you build this?
No It relies on low-level Chromium DevTools Protocol internals (specifically HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame) and precise frame synchronization with video encoding pipelines.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires orchestrating headless Chromium instances via CDP to emit deterministic frames at exact virtual time intervals, bypassing regular wall-clock rendering. Raw frame buffers must be streamed through high-throughput IPC directly into FFmpeg or hardware-accelerated video encoders. This requires deep systems knowledge of browser compositor internals, event loop deterministic stepping, and video codec pipeline performance.
