hi Robert
thx for replying

1.without any writing to disk, frame rate is still down.my WindowCaptureCallback write nothing into disk.
2.The start/stop of threading and releaseContext() is necessary for multi threading model because of off-screen rendering on topview.
3.please more explain about that single callback and the way on/off it.
