Record a stream into several Files

Postby 20Syl » 23 Jul 2008 17:06

Hi everyone,

I am trying to save a stream into a lot of files (for example, and for being clear, i don't want one big file, but several files with a fixed duration (20 seconds for example))

But i have some problem to find a clean way for doing it, this is why i am asking your advice. ("Search" and "Google" do not bring me solutions...)

Wich way would be the best for you :
- developping an outpout module/plug in ?
- controlling vlc with the rc interface ?
- maybe something more simple ?
- maybe not using vlc but one of its library ?
- anything would help

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

(FYI : i tryed to developp a java app (on windows vista) but the result it is not clean at all (piece of stream missing...))

You would need a new stream output plugin (and it probably would not work with certain codecs).

Try handbrake. They split video files. you would have to save it as a big file, and then split it but, honestly. This way you need like a script, and the other way you have work like month (or ten) writing an output module.

I think so...

Thank you for your help,

I'm afraid of a dead end if I try to write an output module,
I am going to try handbrake.

Do not hestitate if you have another advice or tips, i need it.


once again, thank you.

I am sorry handbrake doesn't do that. Vstripe is what you want. A different group at my school is doing a project on split and join videos. They use vstrip to split them, and handbrake to join them, or maybe encode them. I don't always pay attention to all the details of their project.
