Hi! I'm trying to capture udp stream that has some problems with consistency. Some packets seem to be missing and when I plain watch this stream I see glitches and even missing video and audio frames.
When watching live stream it seems that missing frames are replaced with silence or black screen, but when capturing into a file they are just dropped. In result it shortenes resulting file and then I have troubles with synchronising that file to another from good source.
Is there a way to tell vlc not to just drop missing frames and to fill such gaps with silence when capturing into a file? Or with UDP streams there is no way of knowing what frames are missing?
Thank you!

You need to give more info about your OS, your VLC version, your hardware, the source stream, the method and the command line you are using.

I don't really see how VLC could fill the gaps (at least without decoding and re-encoding). It's best to record the stream to MPEG-TS as it comes in that case.

Okay thanks for replies.
So I have Win7 and VLC 2.0.4 and my execute line is "vlc.exe -vvv udp://@239.1.100.1:1234 --sout file/ts:"D:\movie.ts" --sout-all"
Stream is pretty corrupted, in the captured file many video frames and audio samples are missing, and to synchronise output sound with good video I need to fill gaps with silence manually.
One way to solve the problem is to change source stream, but it's not easy to find another one.
I really do not think you guys can help me, but still.
Stream info: mpeg2 video and mpeg1 layer 2 audio.
