Cause logstaglia is so cool you may want to record a video. We're lucky: Logstalgia has a parameter for an ppm-stream output: --output-ppm-stream FILE. We can pipe this to ffmpeg or avconv to record a h264 encoded video.
record command when using ffmpeg (for e.g. with ubuntu 12.04)
cat some_acces.log | logstalgia --sync -1920x1080 --output-ppm-stream - | ffmpeg -y -r 60 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 1 -threads 0 -bf 0 logstalgia.mp4
record command when using avconv(for e.g. with ubuntu 14.04)
cat some_acces.log | logstalgia --sync -1920x1080 --output-ppm-stream - | avconv -y -r 60 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 1 -threads 0 -bf 0 logstalgia.mp4
