how to subscribe to compressed image topic without using the compressed_image_transport package callback

edit

Hello everyone

i wanted to ask if there is a way to skip the decompression callback of the compressed_image_transport stack that is called automatically when you subscribe to a /compressed topic.

In my case, i would like to get the compressed depth and image msgs, record them using rosbag and then continue on doing the decompression step and any further processing.

Of course i know i can just record the compressed topic separately from command line but i am interested to know if it can be done from code.

Thanks.
