- [ ] Add feature to record and save it in popular video formats like `.mp4` , `.mov` and `.gif` .

- [x] Dithering effect.
- [ ] A producer/consumer split with pthread_mutex + pthread_cond and a double-buffer swap would decouple them: one thread talks exclusively to V4L2, the other does ASCII conversion and writes.
