markfm: thank you for your advice, but you understood me wrong, the video stream is OK, the first frame of the stream is an I-frame. But vlc cannot decode the first frame, i took a look in the source code and I saw, that this frame has 1371 bytes (rtp payload for h263 + raw h263 data), this data arr...

Hi, I have problems while decoding the first frame of a stream, which is streamed from DSS to VLC (0.7.2).

Thank you for the advice, it is working fine. btw, in the win32 GUI, yuo cen use following MRL command, in the streamoutput window: :sout=#transcode{vcodec=I420}:std{access=file,mux=raw,url="C:\temp\stream\testDump2.yuv"}} this command will do the same like the command line command before.

try to check if you have installed ffmpeg libraries (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php) on your system, these are responsible for decoding h.263. Then you will probably need to recompile vlc.

Hi,
is it possible to dump some raw format (yuv, yv2, ...) from rtsp stream with vlc? In principle it should be possible, because vlc implements the ffmpeg libraries and they have this functionality.
OS: linux
vlc ver: 0.7.2
