This Code from your Documentation doesnt work.

Thanks for pointing that out. It should of course be

picam2.start_recording(encoder, 'test.h264', quality=Quality.HIGH)

I'll get the documentation updated.

No worries, I am happy to help.

Sorry, but I don't see any difference between the correction and the original command.

[davidplowman]

Sorry, slip of the mouse. Have corrected it above. Thanks!
