"Rip MP3 and windows media streams from the command line..."

It refers to non-VLC stuff like mplayer etc. but most of the suggestions are *also* cross Platform - an approach I - obviously - support).

Luck to all.

It'd be nice if - as with some other Apps (mostly those which are just 'shell GUIs' for *NIX cmd line stuff) to be able to see the actual command-line string that VPC 'generates' (or would generate) for a particular function & group of settings .. - as in the wizard, say - with it's IN and OUT ...

looks like I screwd up the placement of the QOUTEs in the last - apologies - I'm sure all will be able to see what I wa attempting .. - this forum software is pain *mean* sometimes ..

It's not RAW. you have to write the video and audio into a fileformat for storage. Errr .. then what IS 'RAW' - seeing as it's on the same list *grin* I mean, sure, you have to write in *some* 'format', you're doing that even if you use a hex editor to write random bytes in a way that the Host OS w...

Thank you for so many things - including the fact that we all have this amazing piece of software to use, thanks in large part to you and other people like you. I very much appreciate the Tech explanation : [Probably why bloody Jobs/apple switched to 264 :) ] I *like* to understand things - I used t...

see, that fascinates me : it can play em but not save 'em ? Some strange quirk of the architecture ? iT can decode to 'video'/pixmaps but not even just 'passthrough' the data ?? And the 'Also the "local display" should be avoided whenever you try to record...' was *just* because when yr tr...

Much searching reading puzzling & testing on this one. No luck on Mac OS X or win XP Pru... GUIs or *NIX cmd line. I'd like to read a Network stream and put it it a file on disk - something that this (wonderful) App should be good at - God knows, it can PLAY just about anything... :) Here's a li...

Fascinating - all the 'wizard' stuff gets you now where - you hear sound, see no vid. resilts are empty/junk. Open Network stream works and plays just fine .. UNTIL you click 'advanced output' and choose file. Then it goes to hell : " main: no suitable access module for `rtsp://a2047.v1413b.c14...

I should have mentioned, when it plays/captures to file.. I hear the audio but no Vid window opens.. I show message window and it's full of 'stuff' :) Starts: main warning: trying to send non-dated packet to stream output! main warning: trying to send non-dated packet to stream output! main warning:...

As above,- and set to 'local play' - The summary looks fine: input stream, 1-10, no transcode, QUOTE MRL: :sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst="standard{mux=mov,url=sat932,access=file}"}"/END QUOTE it runs just fine. the output is apparently that 4k file again. Hex editor shows the same 1...

No - I dump the '4K' file to a hex editor. It contains 16 Bytes:"...... I stop the process after a while .. check file size - the same. get info. ditto. But this time, when I dump to a Hex editor it has data! - What looks like a MOOV hdr ... the last few bytes of which are : "avcCMM3ˇ‡ So,...

http://macworld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/mw/ It's about 1hr 36 I believe. from the HTMl, the main MOV is a reference QT file at http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/m_mw_2006_650_ref.mov which appears to contain several objects .. - the stream appears to be in rtsp://a2047.v1412b.c1412.g.vq....
