Description
This PR fixes the broken --capture-video option in the CleanRL Advanced PPO tutorial (tutorials/CleanRL/cleanrl_advanced.py). The original implementation attempted to use Gymnasium’s RecordVideo wrapper, which does not support PettingZoo’s parallel environments or SuperSuit’s vectorized wrappers. As a result, enabling --capture-video always produced an exception or silently failed.
This PR replaces the unsupported wrapper with a post-training video recorder that:
This restores full video-recording functionality for the tutorial and provides a more reliable, backend-agnostic way to generate videos of trained PettingZoo agents.
