Hello,

I would like to use 30 VLC on the same computer and all at the same time.

Could it be a problem?

Thanks in advance.

It sure could be a problem if you don't have enough memory or CPU to make them run.

BTW, why use 30 VLCs and not just one ? (hint: chapter 5 in streaming howto in http://www.videolan.org/doc )

I have AMD Dual COre CPU and 1Go of memory.

I use VLC with this command line :
vlc.exe --no-dummy-quiet mystream :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,url="D:\test\retest.avi"}}

If I need 30 VLC, it's because I have 30 streams and I need a different file for all of the 30 stream.

You can do 30 streams with one vlc using vlm (see link provided above)

Thanks for your answer.

But I don't know if it's possible to do what I want to do.

About what you said, I can use just one VLC to get 30 streams and to put then on a file.
But all my streams don't need to be launched and to be stopped on the same time. Does it possible to do this?
To use VLC I will use socket comunication. Is it possible to say to VLC, store my stream during 10 minutes and after stop this stream and on the same time say the same with different times to all my different stream?

Thanks,

every thing is possible with VLM (almost).
