Demuxing (file splitting) with VLC

Postby Drain Pipe » 15 Mar 2010 11:19

According to to this article on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... _splitters(6th point down, under "Notable file splitters" heading) it says libvic part of VLC is a file splitter (demuxer). How do I access this demuxing functionality of VLC?
Thanks.

You'll need to use the 'smem' stream output plugin if you only want to demultiplex but not decode.

Thanks for the reply Rémi.

I'm sorry but I haven't got a clue what you mean by 'smem' stream output. And you are right, I just want to demultiplex but not decode. I've googled smem stream but what I've turned up is hard to understand:
http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/ ... em_8c.html
and
http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php?titl ... ext=Search

Could you explain smem stream a bit more, or perhaps link to a web page with more about smem stream and demuxing.
Thanks Rémi.

No. I did not write that module, and I never used it.
