The VideoLAN Forums

I'm sorry if this question has been asked somewhere else, but I did not find the answer. My wife is graduation next weekend in another state and I want to record and save it for her as a special gift. She will be there by herself and the family will be watching here at my house. I want to save it on my MacBook Pro using VLC. It is really important that I get it right. So my question is what is the proper set up to record the live feed? I have been looking at the different screens and have gotten more confused. If some one could post the right order of steps I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to test it first before the big event happens. Again Thanks in advance.

What device will record it?

I will be using a MacBook Pro.

I'm wanting to use the MacPro Book to record the live feed while the family watches the graduation on my TV thru my windows machine via VGA connection. I'm probably over thinking the process but I don't want to mess it up. I found a video but it was not in english and I could not figure out the buttons. Thank you for your help in advance.

Using the Macbook webcam?

The school is having a live feed of the graduation in Colorado and we will be watching it on the MacBook Pro in California. I was wanting VLC to record the live feed as it was happening to the Mac as a file to be seen later when she gets home. Dave

if you can play it, you can record it.

What is the procedure to record it using VLC.

Use the record button from the advanced toolbar, or use the "Command+Shift+r" hotkey
