fix(viz): use PyAV for AV1 video decoding, AutoImageProcessor for SigLIP

- Replace cv2.VideoCapture with PyAV (av library) which handles AV1
  codec properly. Decode each video once and index by frame number.
- Use AutoImageProcessor instead of AutoProcessor to avoid loading
  the SigLIP tokenizer (which requires sentencepiece).

+# AI Usage Policy
+
+The LeRobot project welcomes contributions from everyone, and we have a few guidelines regarding AI usage to ensure high code quality, clear communication, and a healthy open-source ecosystem:
+
+- **Please disclose significant AI assistance.** If you used AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) to generate a substantial portion of your code or text, let us know in your PR description. Transparency helps us review your changes more effectively.
+- **Own your code (The Human-in-the-Loop).** You must fully understand all the changes you are proposing. If you cannot explain what your AI-assisted code does or how it interacts with LeRobot's broader architecture, please take the time to learn and test it before submitting.
+- **Keep issues and discussions focused.** You are welcome to use AI to help draft issues or PR descriptions, but please review and edit them carefully before posting. AI can often be overly verbose; trimming the noise and getting straight to the point helps our maintainers address your needs faster.
+
+Our core maintainers also use AI tools to aid their workflows, but they do so while bringing deep contextual knowledge of the LeRobot codebase to validate the output. We ask all contributors to apply that same level of rigor.
+
+## Remember the Human Maintainers
+
+Please remember that LeRobot is maintained by a dedicated team of humans.
+
+Every discussion, issue, and pull request is read and reviewed by real people. While AI tools can generate thousands of lines of code in seconds, reviewing that code still takes human time and energy. Submitting unverified or low-effort AI output puts an unfair burden on our maintainers.
+
+Today, the quality of the AI output still heavily depends on the developer driving the tool. We ask that you respect our maintainers' time by thoroughly vetting, testing, and refining your submissions.
+
+## AI is Welcome Here
+
+LeRobot operates at the cutting edge of AI and robotics, and many of our maintainers actively embrace AI coding assistants as valuable productivity tools. We are a pro-AI project!
+
+Our reason for having an AI policy is not an anti-AI stance. Rather, it exists to ensure that AI is used to enhance human contributions, not replace them with unverified noise. It's about how the tools are used, not the tools themselves.
+
+We value the unique human insight you bring to the LeRobot community. Let AI empower your workflow, but always let your own judgment take the wheel.

-# Streaming Video Encoding — Encode on the fly during recording
-
-## Problem
-
-After each episode, `save_episode()` blocks for **~79 seconds** on a 3-camera setup (3197 frames, 107s episode):
-
-| Step | Time |
-|------|------|
-| Write 9591 PNGs to disk | ~19s |
-| Read PNGs back → compute image stats | ~15s |
-| Read PNGs again → encode 3× AV1 videos → delete PNGs | ~44.5s |
-| Save parquet + metadata | ~0.6s |
-| **Total** | **~79s** |
-
-The entire pipeline writes frames as temporary PNGs, reads them back twice (stats + encoding), then deletes them. This round-trip is the bottleneck.

-
-**Data path:** `frame → queue → encode → MP4` (zero PNGs, zero re-reads)
-
-## Stats computation changes
-
-| | Before | After |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Method** | `compute_episode_stats()` reads all PNGs from disk, decodes them, computes min/max/mean/std/quantiles | `RunningQuantileStats` accumulates stats incrementally per frame during recording |
-| **Input** | Full-resolution PNGs read back from disk | Downsampled frames (via `auto_downsample_height_width`, ~150×100px) directly from memory |
-| **When** | After episode ends, inside `save_episode()` | During recording, inside `add_frame()` (~2ms per frame) |
-| **Output** | `{mean, std, min, max, q01..q99}` shaped `(C,1,1)` in `[0,1]` | Identical shape and scale — `RunningQuantileStats.get_statistics()` → reshape `(C,1,1)` / 255 |
-| **I/O** | Reads 9591 PNGs (~15s) | Zero disk I/O |
-| **Numeric features** | Computed from episode buffer (unchanged) | Computed from episode buffer (unchanged) |
-
-The running stats use the same `auto_downsample_height_width` function and produce the same statistical keys (`mean`, `std`, `min`, `max`, `count`, `q01`, `q10`, `q50`, `q90`, `q99`). Video features are excluded from the post-episode `compute_episode_stats()` call when streaming is active — only numeric features go through that path.
-
-## Results
-
-Tested on the same 3-camera setup (2028 frames, 67.6s episode):
-
-| Step | Before | After | Speedup |
-|------|--------|-------|---------|
-| Frame writing (PNGs) | ~19s | **0s** | ∞ (eliminated) |
-| Episode stats | ~15s | **0.01s** | 1500× |
-| Video encoding | ~44.5s | **0.16s** | 278× |
-| Parquet + meta | ~0.6s | **0.36s** | ~same |
-| **Total `save_episode()`** | **~79s** | **0.55s** | **143×** |
-
-The video encoding time drops to near-zero because most encoding already happened during recording. `finish_episode()` only flushes the last few buffered frames.
-
-### Per-frame overhead during recording
-
-| Operation | Time |
-|-----------|------|
-| `queue.put(frame)` (non-blocking) | ~0.01ms |
-| `auto_downsample_height_width` | ~0.5ms |
-| `RunningQuantileStats.update` | ~1ms |
-| **Total per frame** | **~2ms** (well within 33ms budget at 30fps) |
-
-## Usage
-
-Streaming is **on by default**. Users on weaker PCs can disable it to fall back to the old post-episode pipeline:
-
-```bash
-# Default (streaming ON)
-lerobot-record --dataset.repo_id=user/dataset ...
-
-# Old behavior (streaming OFF)
-lerobot-record --dataset.repo_id=user/dataset --dataset.streaming_encoding=false
-```
-
-For the RaC data collection script, set `streaming_encoding: false` in the dataset config.
-
-## Files Changed
-
-### `src/lerobot/datasets/video_utils.py`
-- Added `StreamingVideoEncoder` — manages one `_CameraEncoder` thread per camera
-- Added `_CameraEncoder` — daemon thread that reads frames from a queue and encodes with PyAV
-- Non-blocking unbounded queue ensures the control loop is never delayed
-
-### `src/lerobot/datasets/lerobot_dataset.py`
-- `create()` / `start_streaming_encoder()`: new `streaming_encoding` parameter
-- `add_frame()`: when streaming, feeds frames to encoder + accumulates running stats instead of writing PNGs
-- `save_episode()`: when streaming, uses running stats and calls `finish_episode()` to get already-encoded video paths
-- `clear_episode_buffer()`: cancels in-progress encoding on re-record
-- `finalize()`: cleans up encoder on shutdown
-- **Full backward compatibility**: when `streaming_encoding=False`, all existing code paths are unchanged
-
-### `src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_record.py`
-- Added `streaming_encoding: bool = True` to `DatasetRecordConfig`
-- Wired through to both `create()` and `resume` paths
-
-### `examples/rac/rac_data_collection_openarms_rtc.py`
-- Added `streaming_encoding: bool = True` to `RaCRTCDatasetConfig`
-- Frames are added inline during the control loop (streaming) or buffered for post-loop writing (old path)
-- Automatically detects mode and adjusts behavior
-
-## Design Notes
-
-- **Why threads, not processes?** PyAV/FFmpeg releases the GIL during encoding. Threads share memory (zero-copy frame passing), avoiding the serialization overhead of multiprocessing.
-- **Why unbounded queue?** At 30fps production vs ~72fps encoding throughput, the queue stays near-empty. Even during brief encoder stalls, memory growth is bounded by episode length. The control loop must never block.
-- **Why running stats?** Avoids the expensive read-back-from-disk step. `RunningQuantileStats` + `auto_downsample_height_width` compute identical statistics incrementally with ~2ms overhead per frame.
-- **Backward compatible**: Setting `streaming_encoding=false` restores the original PNG → encode pipeline exactly. No behavior changes for existing users who don't opt in.

-# OpenArms Robot
-
-OpenArms is a 7 DOF robotic arm with a gripper, designed by [Enactic, Inc.](https://www.enactic.com/) It uses Damiao motors controlled via CAN bus communication and MIT control mode for smooth, precise motion.
-
-## Hardware Overview
-
-- **7 DOF per arm** (14 DOF total for dual arm setup)
-- **1 gripper per arm** (2 grippers total)
-- **Damiao motors** with 4 different types:
-  - **DM8009** (DM-J8009P-2EC) for shoulders (J1, J2) - high torque
-  - **DM4340** for shoulder rotation and elbow (J3, J4)
-  - **DM4310** (DM-J4310-2EC V1.1) for wrist (J5, J6, J7) and gripper (J8)
-- **24V power supply** required
-- **CAN interface device**:
-  - **Linux**: Any SocketCAN-compatible adapter
-  - **macOS**: CANable, PEAK PCAN-USB, or Kvaser USBcan
-- Proper CAN wiring (CANH, CANL, 120Ω termination)
-
-
-## Motor Configuration
-
-Each arm has the following motor configuration based on the [OpenArm setup guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/software/setup/):
-
-| Joint | Motor | Motor Type | Sender CAN ID | Receiver ID | Description |
-|-------|-------|------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
-| J1 | joint_1 | DM8009 | 0x01 | 0x11 | Shoulder pan |
-| J2 | joint_2 | DM8009 | 0x02 | 0x12 | Shoulder lift |
-| J3 | joint_3 | DM4340 | 0x03 | 0x13 | Shoulder rotation |
-| J4 | joint_4 | DM4340 | 0x04 | 0x14 | Elbow flex |
-| J5 | joint_5 | DM4310 | 0x05 | 0x15 | Wrist roll |
-| J6 | joint_6 | DM4310 | 0x06 | 0x16 | Wrist pitch |
-| J7 | joint_7 | DM4310 | 0x07 | 0x17 | Wrist rotation |
-| J8 | gripper | DM4310 | 0x08 | 0x18 | Gripper |
-
-For dual arm setups, the left arm uses IDs 0x09-0x10 for joints 1-8 with the same motor types.
-
-## Quick Start 
-
-```bash
-# Install system dependencies
-sudo apt install can-utils iproute2
-
-# Install LeRobot with OpenArms support
-pip install -e ".[openarms]"
-```
-
-## Setup Guide
-
-### Step 1: Motor ID Configuration
-
-**IMPORTANT**: Before using the robot, motors must be configured with the correct CAN IDs.
-
-Refer to the [OpenArm Motor ID Configuration Guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/software/setup/motor-id) for detailed instructions using the Damiao Debugging Tools on Windows.
-
-Key points:
-- Each motor needs a unique **Sender CAN ID** (0x01-0x08)
-- Each motor needs a unique **Receiver/Master ID** (0x11-0x18)
-- Use the Damiao Debugging Tools to set these IDs
-
-### Step 2: Setup CAN Interface
-
-Configure your CAN interface as described in the [OpenArm CAN Setup Guide](https://docs.openarm.dev/software/setup/can-setup):
-
-#### Linux (SocketCAN)
-
-```bash
-# Find your CAN interface
-ip link show
-
-# Configure can0, 1, 2, 3
-sudo ip link set can0 down
-sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can0 up
-
-sudo ip link set can1 down
-sudo ip link set can1 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can1 up
-
-sudo ip link set can2 down
-sudo ip link set can2 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can2 up
-
-sudo ip link set can3 down
-sudo ip link set can3 type can bitrate 1000000
-sudo ip link set can3 up
-
-# Verify configuration
-ip link show can0
-```
-
-or run:
-
-`examples/openarms/setup_can.sh`
-
-### Testing canbus and motor connection
-
-Please run this script to check if all motors can be found and to find your can-fd speed: `python examples/openarms/debug_can_communication.py`
-
-## Usage
-
-### Basic Setup
-
-
-```python
-from lerobot.robots.openarms import OpenArmsFollower
-from lerobot.robots.openarms.config_openarms_follower import OpenArmsFollowerConfig
-
-# Configure for dual arm setup
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    can_interface="socketcan",  # Or "auto" for auto-detection
-    id="openarms_dual",
-    is_dual_arm=True,
-)
-
-robot = OpenArmsFollower(config)
-robot.connect()
-```
-
-### Calibration
-
-On first use, you'll need to calibrate the robot:
-
-```python
-robot.calibrate()
-```
-
-The calibration process will:
-1. Disable torque on all motors
-2. Ask you to position arms in **hanging position with grippers closed**
-3. Set this as the zero position
-4. Ask you to move each joint through its full range
-5. Record min/max positions for each joint
-6. Save calibration to file
-
-### Reading Observations
-
-The robot provides comprehensive state information:
-
-```python
-observation = robot.get_observation()
-
-# Observation includes for each motor:
-# - {motor_name}.pos: Position in degrees
-# - {motor_name}.vel: Velocity in degrees/second  
-# - {motor_name}.torque: Motor torque
-# - {camera_name}: Camera images (if configured)
-
-print(f"Right arm joint 1 position: {observation['right_joint_1.pos']:.1f}°")
-print(f"Right arm joint 1 velocity: {observation['right_joint_1.vel']:.1f}°/s")
-print(f"Right arm joint 1 torque: {observation['right_joint_1.torque']:.3f} N·m")
-```
-
-### Sending Actions
-
-```python
-# Send target positions (in degrees)
-action = {
-    "right_joint_1.pos": 45.0,
-    "right_joint_2.pos": -30.0,
-    # ... all joints
-    "right_gripper.pos": 45.0,  # Half-closed
-}
-
-actual_action = robot.send_action(action)
-```
-
-### Gripper Control
-
-```python
-# Open gripper
-robot.open_gripper(arm="right")
-
-# Close gripper  
-robot.close_gripper(arm="right")
-```
-
-## Safety Features
-
-### 1. Maximum Relative Target
-
-Limits how far a joint can move in a single command to prevent sudden movements:
-
-```python
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    # Limit all joints to 10 degrees per command
-    max_relative_target=10.0,
-    
-    # Or set per-motor limits
-    max_relative_target={
-        "right_joint_1": 15.0,  # Slower moving joint
-        "right_joint_2": 10.0,
-        "right_gripper": 5.0,   # Very slow gripper
-    }
-)
-```
-
-**How it works**: If current position is 50° and you command 80°, with `max_relative_target=10.0`, the robot will only move to 60° in that step.
-
-### 2. Torque Limits
-
-Control maximum torque output, especially important for grippers and teleoperation:
-
-```python
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    # Gripper torque limit (fraction of motor's max torque)
-    gripper_torque_limit=0.5,  # 50% of max torque
-)
-```
-
-Lower torque limits prevent damage when gripping delicate objects.
-
-### 3. MIT Control Gains
-
-Control responsiveness and stability via PID-like gains:
-
-```python
-config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    position_kp=10.0,  # Position gain (higher = more responsive)
-    position_kd=0.5,   # Velocity damping (higher = more damped)
-)
-```
-
-**Guidelines**:
-- **For following (robot)**: Higher gains for responsiveness
-  - `position_kp=10.0`, `position_kd=0.5`
-- **For teleoperation (leader)**: Lower gains or disable torque for manual movement
-  - `manual_control=True` (torque disabled)
-
-### 4. Velocity Limits
-
-Velocity limits are enforced by the Damiao motors based on motor type. For DM4310:
-- Max velocity: 30 rad/s ≈ 1718°/s
-
-The motors will automatically limit velocity to safe values.
-
-## Teleoperation
-
-### Leader Arm Setup
-
-The leader arm is moved manually (torque disabled) to generate commands:
-
-```python
-from lerobot.teleoperators.openarms import OpenArmsLeader
-from lerobot.teleoperators.openarms.config_openarms_leader import OpenArmsLeaderConfig
-
-config = OpenArmsLeaderConfig(
-    port="can1",  # Separate CAN interface for leader
-    id="openarms_leader",
-    manual_control=True,  # Torque disabled for manual movement
-    is_dual_arm=True,
-)
-
-leader = OpenArmsLeader(config)
-leader.connect()
-
-# Read current position as action
-action = leader.get_action()
-# action contains positions for all joints in degrees
-```
-
-### Safety Considerations for Teleoperation
-
-1. **Use separate CAN interfaces** for leader and follower to avoid conflicts
-2. **Enable max_relative_target** on follower to smooth abrupt movements
-3. **Lower torque limits** on follower to prevent damage from tracking errors
-4. **Test with one arm** before enabling dual arm teleoperation
-5. **Have emergency stop** ready (power switch or CAN disable)
-
-```python
-# Recommended follower config for teleoperation
-follower_config = OpenArmsFollowerConfig(
-    port="can0",
-    max_relative_target=5.0,  # Small steps for smooth following
-    gripper_torque_limit=0.3, # Low torque for safety
-    position_kp=5.0,  # Lower gains for gentler following
-    position_kd=0.3,
-)
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Motor Shaking/Unstable
-
-- **Lower control gains**: Reduce `position_kp` and `position_kd`
-- **Check calibration**: Re-run calibration procedure
-- **Verify power**: Insufficient current can cause instability
-- **Check mechanical**: Loose connections, binding, or damaged components
-
-### CAN Bus Errors
-
-```bash
-# Check for errors
-ip -s link show can0
-
-# Reset CAN interface
-sudo ip link set can0 down
-sudo ip link set can0 up
-```
-
-### Control Mode
-
-OpenArms uses **MIT control mode** which allows simultaneous control of:
-- Position (degrees)
-- Velocity (degrees/second)
-- Torque (N·m)
-- Position gain (Kp)
-- Velocity damping (Kd)
-
-### Communication
-
-- **Protocol**: CAN 2.0 at 1 Mbps (or CAN-FD at 5 Mbps)
-- **Frame format**: Standard 11-bit IDs
-- **Update rate**: Typically 50-100 Hz depending on motor count
-- **Latency**: ~10-20ms per motor command

-# RaC: Recovery and Correction Training
-
-RaC (Recovery and Correction) is a human-in-the-loop data collection and training paradigm that improves robot policy performance on long-horizon tasks by explicitly teaching recovery and correction behaviors.

-
-## Why RaC? The Problem with Standard Data Collection
-
-### Standard Behavioral Cloning Data Collection Limitations
-
-Standard behavior cloning trains policies on successful demonstrations. This approach can be sensitive to distribution shift and compounding errors. Because during deployment small errors can cascade and push the robot into states never seen during training.
-This is where RaC and methods like Dagger and HG-DAgger come in.
-
-### Prior Human-in-the-Loop Methods
-
-**DAgger** (Dataset Aggregation) addresses distribution shift by:
-- Running the novice policy to collect states
-- Querying expert for correct actions at those states
-- Aggregating new labels into training set
-
-**HG-DAgger** (Human-Gated DAgger) improves on DAgger by:
-- Giving human full control authority during interventions
-- Human takes over when unsafe, provides correction, returns control
-- Better action labels because human has uninterrupted control
-
-### RaC
-
-RaC explicitly collects **recovery + correction** data:
-
-```
-BC/DAgger:   policy → mistake → human corrects → continue
-RaC:         policy → mistake → human RECOVERS (teleop back) → CORRECTS → END
-```
-
-The critical insight is **Rule 1 (Recover then Correct)**:
-- Every intervention starts with human teleoperating back to an in-distribution state
-- Then human provides correction to complete the current subtask
-- Both segments are recorded as training data
-- This teaches the policy: "when things go wrong, go back and retry"
-
-**Rule 2 (Terminate after Intervention)**:
-- Episode ends after correction completes
-- Avoids mixed policy/human data on later subtasks
-- Keeps data distribution clean
-

-
-## Comparison Table
-
-| Method | Data Type | Recovery Behavior | Correction Behavior |
-|--------|-----------|-------------------|---------------------|
-| BC | Success only | ✗ | ✗ |
-| DAgger | Success + corrections | ✗ | ✓ |
-| HG-DAgger | Success + corrections | Sometimes | ✓ |
-| RaC | Success + recovery + correction | ✓ Explicit | ✓ |

-## Step-by-Step Guide
-
-### Step 1: Pre-train a Base Policy
-
-First, train a policy on your demonstration dataset:
-
-```bash
-python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/demo-dataset \
-    --policy.type=pi0 \
-    --output_dir=outputs/pretrain \
-    --batch_size=32 \
-    --steps=50000
-```
-
-### Step 2: Collect RaC Data
-
-Run the RaC data collection script with your pre-trained policy:
-
-```bash
-python examples/rac/rac_data_collection.py \
-    --robot.type=so100_follower \
-    --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
-    --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
-    --teleop.type=so100_leader \
-    --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-    --policy.path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/rac-dataset \
-    --dataset.single_task="Pick up the cube and place it in the bowl" \
-    --dataset.num_episodes=50
-```
-
-**Controls (Keyboard + Foot Pedal):**
-
-| Key / Pedal | Action |
-|-------------|--------|
-| **SPACE** / Right pedal | Pause policy (teleop mirrors robot, no recording) |
-| **c** / Left pedal | Take control (start correction, recording resumes) |
-| **→** / Right pedal | End episode (save) - when in correction mode |
-| **←** | Re-record episode |
-| **ESC** | Stop session and push to hub |
-| Any key/pedal during reset | Start next episode |
-
-**The RaC Protocol:**
-
-1. Watch the policy run autonomously (teleop is idle/free)
-2. When you see imminent failure, press **SPACE** or **right pedal** to pause
-   - Policy stops
-   - Teleoperator moves to match robot position (torque enabled)
-   - No frames recorded during pause
-3. Press **c** or **left pedal** to take control
-   - Teleoperator torque disabled, free to move
-   - **RECOVERY**: Teleoperate back to a good state
-   - **CORRECTION**: Complete the subtask
-   - All movements are recorded
-4. Press **→** or **right pedal** to save and end episode
-5. **RESET**: Teleop moves to robot position, you can move robot to starting position
-6. Press any key/pedal to start next episode
-
-The recovery and correction segments teach the policy how to recover from errors.
-
-**Foot Pedal Setup (Linux):**
-
-If using a USB foot pedal (PCsensor FootSwitch), ensure access:
-```bash
-sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:rw /dev/input/by-id/usb-PCsensor_FootSwitch-event-kbd
-```
-
-### Step 3: (Optional) Compute SARM Rewards
-
-For advantage-weighted training (RA-BC / Pi0.6-style), compute SARM progress values:
-
-```bash
-python src/lerobot/policies/sarm/compute_rabc_weights.py \
-    --dataset-repo-id your-username/rac-dataset \
-    --reward-model-path your-username/sarm-model \
-    --head-mode sparse \
-    --push-to-hub
-```
-
-### Step 4: Fine-tune Policy
-
-Fine-tune on the RaC data:
-
-```bash
-# Without RA-BC (standard fine-tuning)
-python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/rac-dataset \
-    --policy.type=pi0 \
-    --policy.pretrained_path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-    --output_dir=outputs/rac_finetune \
-    --steps=20000
-
-# With RA-BC (advantage-weighted, Pi0.6-style)
-python src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_train.py \
-    --dataset.repo_id=your-username/rac-dataset \
-    --policy.type=pi0 \
-    --policy.pretrained_path=outputs/pretrain/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-    --output_dir=outputs/rac_finetune_rabc \
-    --use_rabc=true \
-    --rabc_kappa=0.01 \
-    --steps=20000
-```
-
----
-
-## Connection to Pi0.6 / RECAP
-
-Pi0.6's RECAP method shares similar principles:
-- Collect autonomous rollouts + expert interventions
-- Use value function to compute **advantages**: A(s,a) = V(s') - V(s)
-- **Advantage conditioning**: Weight training based on expected improvement
-
-In LeRobot, we can use **SARM** as the value function:
-- SARM progress φ(s) ∈ [0,1] measures task completion
-- Progress delta = φ(s') - φ(s) approximates advantage
-- RA-BC uses these to weight training samples (higher weight for good corrections)

-## Tips for Effective RaC Collection
-
-### When to Intervene
-
-Intervene when you see:
-- Robot about to make an irreversible mistake
-- Robot hesitating or showing uncertain behavior
-- Robot deviating from expected trajectory
-
-### Recovery: Teleoperating Back to Good State
-
-During recovery, teleoperate the robot back to a state where:
-- The robot is in a familiar, in-distribution configuration
-- The current subtask can still be completed
-- The recovery trajectory itself is informative training data
-
-### Quality of Corrections
-
-During correction:
-- Provide **confident, clean** trajectories
-- Complete the current subtask fully
-- Don't overcorrect or add unnecessary movements
-

-
-## Iterative Improvement
-
-RaC can be applied iteratively:
-
-```
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│  Policy v0 (demos)                                                      │
-│       ↓                                                                 │
-│  RaC Collection (target current failure modes) → Policy v1              │
-│       ↓                                                                 │
-│  RaC Collection (target new failure modes) → Policy v2                  │
-│       ↓                                                                 │
-│  ... (repeat until satisfactory performance)                            │
-└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-Each iteration:
-1. Deploy current policy
-2. Collect RaC interventions on failure cases
-3. Fine-tune on accumulated data

+# Streaming Video Encoding Guide
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Streaming video encoding eliminates the traditional PNG round-trip during video dataset recording. Instead of:
+
+1. Capture frame -> write PNG to disk -> (at episode end) read PNG's -> encode to MP4 -> delete PNG's
+
+Frames can be encoded in real-time during capture:
+
+1. Capture frame -> queue to encoder thread -> encode to MP4 directly
+
+This makes `save_episode()` near-instant (the video is already encoded by the time the episode ends) and removes the blocking wait that previously occurred between episodes, especially with multiple cameras in long episodes.
+
+## 2. Tuning Parameters
+
+| Parameter               | CLI Flag                          | Type          | Default       | Description                                                       |
+| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `streaming_encoding`    | `--dataset.streaming_encoding`    | `bool`        | `True`        | Enable real-time encoding during capture                          |
+| `vcodec`                | `--dataset.vcodec`                | `str`         | `"libsvtav1"` | Video codec. `"auto"` detects best HW encoder                     |
+| `encoder_threads`       | `--dataset.encoder_threads`       | `int \| None` | `None` (auto) | Threads per encoder instance. `None` will leave the vcoded decide |
+| `encoder_queue_maxsize` | `--dataset.encoder_queue_maxsize` | `int`         | `60`          | Max buffered frames per camera (~2s at 30fps). Consumes RAM       |
+
+## 3. Performance Considerations
+
+Streaming encoding means the CPU is encoding video **during** the capture loop, not after. This creates a CPU budget that must be shared between:
+
+- **Control loop** (reading cameras, control the robot, writing non-video data)
+- **Encoder threads** (one pool per camera)
+- **Rerun visualization** (if enabled)
+- **OS and other processes**
+
+### Resolution & Number of Cameras Impact
+
+| Setup                     | Throughput (px/sec) | CPU Encoding Load | Notes                          |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| 2camsx 640x480x3 @30fps   | 55M                 | Low               | Works on most systems          |
+| 2camsx 1280x720x3 @30fps  | 165M                | Moderate          | Comfortable on modern systems  |
+| 2camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps | 373M                | High              | Requires powerful high-end CPU |
+
+### `encoder_threads` Tuning
+
+This parameter controls how many threads each encoder instance uses internally:
+
+- **Higher values** (e.g., 4-5): Faster encoding, but uses more CPU cores per camera. Good for high-end systems with many cores.
+- **Lower values** (e.g., 1-2): Less CPU per camera, freeing cores for capture and visualization. Good for low-res images and capable CPUs.
+- **`None` (default)**: Lets the codec decide. Information available in the codec logs.
+
+### Backpressure and Frame Dropping
+
+Each camera has a bounded queue (`encoder_queue_maxsize`, default 60 frames). When the encoder can't keep up:
+
+1. The queue fills up (consuming RAM)
+2. New frames are **dropped** (not blocked) — the capture loop continues uninterrupted
+3. A warning is logged: `"Encoder queue full for {camera}, dropped N frame(s)"`
+4. At episode end, total dropped frames per camera are reported
+
+### Symptoms of Encoder Falling Behind
+
+- **System feels laggy and freezes**: all CPUs are at 100%
+- **Dropped frame warnings** in the log or lower frames/FPS than expected in the recorded dataset
+- **Choppy robot movement**: If CPU is severely overloaded, even the capture loop may be affected
+- **Accumulated rerun lag**: Visualization falls behind real-time
+
+## 4. Hardware-Accelerated Encoding
+
+### When to Use
+
+Use HW encoding when:
+
+- CPU is the bottleneck (dropped frames, choppy robot, rerun lag)
+- You have compatible hardware (GPU or dedicated encoder)
+- You're recording at high throughput (high resolution or with many cameras)
+
+### Choosing a Codec
+
+| Codec                 | CPU Usage | File Size      | Quality | Notes                                                            |
+| --------------------- | --------- | -------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `libsvtav1` (default) | High      | Smallest       | Best    | Default. Best compression but most CPU-intensive                 |
+| `h264`                | Medium    | ~30-50% larger | Good    | Software H.264. Lower CPU                                        |
+| HW encoders           | Very Low  | Largest        | Good    | Offloads to dedicated hardware. Best for CPU-constrained systems |
+
+### Available HW Encoders

+| Encoder             | Platform      | Hardware                                                                                         | CLI Value                            |

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> In order to use the HW accelerated encoders you might need to upgrade your GPU drivers.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> `libsvtav1` is the default because it provides the best training performance; other vcodecs can reduce CPU usage and be faster, but they typically produce larger files and may affect training time.

+| System freezes or choppy robot movement or Rerun visualization lag | CPU starved (100% load usage)                | Close other apps, reduce encoding throughput, lower `encoder_threads`, use `h264`, use `display_data=False`.

+| "Encoder queue full" warnings or dropped frames in dataset         | Encoder can't keep up (Queue overflow)       | If CPU is not at 100%: Increase `encoder_threads`, increase `encoder_queue_maxsize` or use HW encoding (`--dataset.vcodec=auto`).                                                                                                                                                    |

Reduce `encoder_queue_maxsize` or use HW encoding                                                                                                                                                                                     |

If fewer frames are missing (~2%), they are probably due to occasional transient load spikes (often at startup) and can be considered expected.                                   |
+
+## 6. Recommended Configurations
+
+These estimates are conservative; we recommend testing them on your setup—start with a low load and increase it gradually.
+
+### High-End Systems: modern 12+ cores (24+ threads)
+
+A throughput between ~250-500M px/sec should be comfortable in CPU. For even better results try HW encoding if available.
+
+```bash
+# 3camsx 1280x720x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally increase encoder parallelism.
+# 2camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally increase encoder parallelism.
+lerobot-record --dataset.encoder_threads=5 ...
+
+# 3camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps: Might require some tuning.
+```
+
+### Mid-Range Systems: modern 8+ cores (16+ threads) or Apple Silicon
+
+A throughput between ~80-300M px/sec should be possible in CPU.
+
+```bash
+# 3camsx 640x480x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally decrease encoder parallelism.
+# 2camsx 1280x720x3 @30fps: Defaults work well. Optionally decrease encoder parallelism.
+lerobot-record --dataset.encoder_threads=2 ...
+
+# 2camsx 1920x1080x3 @30fps: Might require some tuning.
+```
+
+### Low-Resource Systems: modern 4+ cores (8+ threads) or Raspberry Pi 5
+
+On very constrained systems, streaming encoding may compete too heavily with the capture loop. Disabling it falls back to the PNG-based approach where encoding happens between episodes (blocking, but doesn't interfere with capture). Alternatively, record at a lower throughput to reduce both capture and encoding load. Consider also changing codec to `h264` and using batch encoding.
+
+```bash
+# 2camsx 640x480x3 @30fps: Requires some tuning.
+
+# Use H.264, disable streaming, consider batching encoding
+lerobot-record --dataset.vcodec=h264 --dataset.streaming_encoding=false ...
+```
+
+## 7. Closing note
+
+Performance ultimately depends on your exact setup — frames-per-second, resolution, CPU cores and load, available memory, episode length, and the encoder you choose. Always test with your target workload, be mindful about your CPU & system capabilities and tune `encoder_threads`, `encoder_queue_maxsize`, and
+`vcodec` reasonably. That said, a common practical configuration (for many applications) is three cameras at 640×480x3 @30fps; this usually runs fine with the default streaming video encoding settings in modern systems. Always verify your recorded dataset is healthy by comparing the video duration to the CLI episode duration and confirming the row count equals FPS × CLI duration.

-Training-Time RTC teaches the model to handle inference delay during training.
-It feeds the **ground-truth action prefix** to the model and trains only on the remaining postfix actions.
-This keeps chunk transitions smooth without doing any inference-time inpainting.

-
-### At Training Time
-
-- Sample a delay `d` per batch element.
-- Keep the first `d` action steps as **ground truth** (no noise).
-- Add noise only to the postfix actions.
-- Set the flow-matching timestep to **1.0** for prefix tokens and normal timesteps for postfix tokens.
-- Mask the loss to only train on the postfix.
-
-### At Inference Time
-
-When `rtc_training_config.enabled=true`, the model uses training-time RTC inference:
-
-- Replace prefix positions in `x_t` with previous chunk's leftover actions.
-- Set timestep to **1.0** for prefix positions.
-
----
-
-## Quick Start (CLI)
-
-```bash
-lerobot-train \
-  --policy.type=pi0 \
-  --dataset.repo_id=your/dataset \
-  --policy.rtc_training_config.enabled=true \
-  --policy.rtc_training_config.min_delay=0 \
-  --policy.rtc_training_config.max_delay=6 \
-  --policy.rtc_training_config.delay_distribution=UNIFORM
-```
-
----
-
-## Inference with Training-Time RTC
-
-After training with `rtc_training_config`, use the same config at inference. The model will automatically use training-time RTC inference:
-
-```python
-policy = PI0Policy.from_pretrained("path/to/trained/model")
-# rtc_training_config is loaded from the saved config
-
-actions = policy.predict_action_chunk(
-    batch,
-    inference_delay=5,  # estimated delay in timesteps
-    prev_chunk_left_over=previous_actions,  # from previous chunk
-)
-```
-
----
-
-## Key Parameters
-
-`RTCTrainingConfig` is available on the policy config (`pi0`, `pi05`, `smolvla`, `xvla`):
-
-- **`enabled`**: Toggle training-time RTC (both training and inference).
-- **`min_delay` / `max_delay`**: Delay range (inclusive).
-- **`delay_distribution`**:
-  - `UNIFORM`: uniform in `[min_delay, max_delay]`
-  - `EXP`: exponentially decayed distribution over delays
-- **`exp_decay`**: Exponential decay factor for `EXP` sampling.
-
----
-
-## Notes and Recommendations
-
-- Start with `min_delay=0` and `max_delay` around your expected worst-case inference delay.
-- Use `EXP` if you want more supervision on smaller delays.

-## About
-
-We support both 29 and 23 DOF G1 EDU version. We introduce:
-
-- **`unitree g1` robot class, handling low level read/write from/to the humanoid**
-- **ZMQ socket bridge** for remote communication and camera streaming, allowing for remote policy deployment over wlan, eth or directly on the robot
-- **Locomotion policies** from NVIDIA gr00t and Amazon FAR Holosoma
-- **Simulation mode** for testing policies without the physical robot in mujoco
+The Unitree G1 humanoid is now supported in LeRobot! You can teleoperate, train locomanipulation policies, test in sim, and more. Both 29 and 23 DoF variants are supported.

-## Connection guide
+## Part 1: Getting Started
 
-### Step 1: Configure Ethernet Interface
+### Install the Unitree SDK
 
-Set a static IP on the same subnet as the robot:
+Follow the [unitree_sdk2_python installation guide](https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python#installation). Tested with `unitree_sdk2py==1.0.1` and `cyclonedds==0.10.2`:
+
+```bash
+conda create -y -n lerobot python=3.12
+conda activate lerobot
+git clone https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_sdk2_python.git
+cd unitree_sdk2_python
+pip install -e .
+cd ..
+```
+
+### Install LeRobot
+
+```bash
+conda install ffmpeg -c conda-forge
+conda install -c conda-forge "pinocchio>=3.0.0,<4.0.0"
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+pip install -e '.[unitree_g1]'
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  For now, pinocchio must be installed from conda-forge (not pip) to include the
+  CasADi bindings needed for arm IK.
+</Tip>
+
+### Test the Installation (Simulation)
+
+The simulation environment has its own dependencies. Check the Simulation environment dependencies: [Unitree G1 Mujoco EnvHub](https://huggingface.co/lerobot/unitree-g1-mujoco/tree/main).

+SLURM-distributed SARM RA-BC annotation pipeline.
+
+Computes SARM progress values for all frames in a dataset, distributed across
+SLURM workers, then merges the shards into a single sarm_progress.parquet.
+
+Two subcommands, each a separate SLURM submission:
+
+  compute    – N workers, each computes progress for a subset of episodes
+  aggregate  – 1 worker, merges N shards into sarm_progress.parquet, pushes to hub
+
+Usage:
+    python slurm_compute_rabc.py compute \\
+        --repo-id user/dataset --reward-model-path user/sarm_model \\
+        --stride 10 --device cpu --workers 50 --partition cpu
+
+    python slurm_compute_rabc.py aggregate \\

+Comparing them reveals whether visual similarity and proprioceptive similarity

-OpenArms Policy Evaluation with Real-Time Chunking (RTC)
-
-Evaluates a trained policy on the OpenArms robot using RTC for smooth, continuous motion.
-RTC enables large flow-matching policies (Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA) to produce reactive motion
-despite high inference latency by asynchronously generating action chunks.
-
-Features:
-- Thread-based asynchronous action generation and execution
-- RTC for smooth transitions between action chunks
-- Dataset recording for evaluation episodes
-
-Example usage:
-    python examples/openarms/evaluate_with_rtc.py
-
-    # With custom RTC parameters
-    python examples/openarms/evaluate_with_rtc.py \
-        --rtc.execution_horizon=12 \
-        --rtc.max_guidance_weight=10.0

-# OpenArms Web Recording Interface
-
-A web interface for recording OpenArms datasets.
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-cd examples/openarms_web_interface
-npm install
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-**Start everything with one command:**
-
-```bash
-./launch.sh
-```
-
-This will:
-- Start the FastAPI backend on port 8000
-- Start the React frontend on port 5173
-- Show live logs from both services
-
-Then open your browser to: **http://localhost:5173**
-
-**Stop with:** `Ctrl+C`
-
----
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. **Configure CAN interfaces** and **camera paths** in the dropdowns
-2. Click **"Setup Robots"** to initialize (once at start)
-3. Enter a **task description**
-4. Click **"Start Recording"** to begin an episode
-5. Click **"Stop Recording"** when done
-6. Dataset is automatically encoded and uploaded to HuggingFace Hub as **private**
-7. Repeat steps 3-6 for more episodes (no need to re-setup robots!)
-

-(DAgger, HG-DAgger) by explicitly collecting recovery and correction behaviors:
-
-The workflow:
-1. Policy runs autonomously
-2. Press SPACE to pause - robot holds position
-3. Press 'c' to take control - human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
-4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
-5. Reset, then do next rollout
-
-Key RaC Rules:
-- Rule 1 (Recover then Correct): Every intervention = recovery + correction (both human)
-- Rule 2 (Terminate after Intervention): Episode ends after correction
-
-The recovery segment (teleoperating back to good state) is recorded as training data -
-this teaches the policy how to recover from errors.
-
-Keyboard Controls:
-    SPACE  - Pause policy (robot holds position, no recording)
-    c      - Take control (start correction, recording resumes)
-    →      - End episode (save and continue to next)
-    ←      - Re-record episode
-    ESC    - Stop recording and push dataset to hub
-
-Usage:
-    python examples/rac/rac_data_collection.py \
-        --robot.type=so100_follower \
-        --robot.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431541 \
-        --robot.cameras="{ front: {type: opencv, index_or_path: 0, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
-        --teleop.type=so100_leader \
-        --teleop.port=/dev/tty.usbmodem58760431551 \
-        --policy.path=outputs/train/my_policy/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
-        --dataset.repo_id=my_user/rac_dataset \

-RaC (Recovery and Correction) Data Collection for OpenArms Robot.
-
-This implements the RaC paradigm from "RaC: Robot Learning for Long-Horizon Tasks
-by Scaling Recovery and Correction" (Hu et al., 2025) for LeRobot with OpenArms.
-
-RaC improves upon standard data collection (BC) and prior human-in-the-loop methods
-(DAgger, HG-DAgger) by explicitly collecting recovery and correction behaviors:
-
-The workflow:
-1. Policy runs autonomously (teleop is idle/free)
-2. Press SPACE to pause - teleop moves to match robot position
-3. Press 'c' to take control - teleop is free, human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
-4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
-5. Reset, then do next rollout
-
-Key RaC Rules:
-- Rule 1 (Recover then Correct): Every intervention = recovery + correction (both human)
-- Rule 2 (Terminate after Intervention): Episode ends after correction
-
-The recovery segment (teleoperating back to good state) is recorded as training data -
-this teaches the policy how to recover from errors.
-
-Keyboard Controls:
-    SPACE  - Pause policy (teleop mirrors robot, no recording)
-    c      - Take control (teleop free, recording correction)
-    →      - End episode (save and continue to next)
-    ←      - Re-record episode
-    ESC    - Stop recording and push dataset to hub
-

-RaC (Recovery and Correction) Data Collection for OpenArms Robot with RTC.
-
-This combines RaC data collection with Real-Time Chunking (RTC) for smooth policy execution.
-RTC enables large flow-matching policies (Pi0, Pi0.5, SmolVLA) to produce reactive motion
-despite high inference latency by asynchronously generating action chunks.
-
-The workflow:
-1. Policy runs autonomously with RTC (teleop is idle/free)
-2. Press SPACE to pause - teleop moves to match robot position
-3. Press 'c' to take control - teleop is free, human provides RECOVERY + CORRECTION
-4. Press → to end episode (save and continue to next)
-5. Reset, then do next rollout
