Has anyone else seen problems recording rosbags for all topics of a node using image_transport?

ERROR [/tmp/buildd/ros-indigo-compressed-depth-image-transport-1.9.2-0trusty-20150729-0539/src/compressed_depth_publisher.cpp:223(CompressedDepthPublisher::publish)

...

Compressed Depth Image Transport -Compression requires single-channel 32bit-floating point or 16bit raw depth images (input format is: bgr8).

I see this with pointgrey_camera_driver (tag 0.12.1) when doing a rosbag record -a. I've noticed some issues posted for other packages using image_transport so I thought I'd post a general question in the event there is some broader issue.

UPDATE: Running rosbag record -a -x "(.*)/compressed(.*)" solves the issue of the errors by not recording the "compressed" topics but doesn't explain why they occur in the first place.

It seems that the normal image is processed by an image_transport plugin that normally expects depth images only, after the topic *compressedDepth* is first subscribed, e.g. by rosbag record -a.

I solved the issue for me by disabling the plugin as described in the answer to this question: https://answers.ros.org/question/255970 (and here: https://github.com/ros-drivers/usb_ca... ). The topics that produce the errors then disappear, and I can safely record everything without triggering these errors.

The launch file I've ended up using roughly goes like this:

<launch>
    <group ns="camera/front">
        <!-- launch camera -->
        <node pkg="libuvc_camera" type="camera_node" name="camera_node">
            <!-- parameters here -->
        </node>

        <!-- disable compressed depth plugin for image transport -->
        <group ns="image_raw">
            <rosparam param="disable_pub_plugins">
              - 'image_transport/compressedDepth'
            </rosparam>
        </group>
    </group>
</launch>
