YUV dumping with vlc

[Petr Kadlec]

Hi,
is it possible to dump some raw format (yuv, yv2, ...) from rtsp stream with vlc? In principle it should be possible, because vlc implements the ffmpeg libraries and they have this functionality.
OS: linux
vlc ver: 0.7.2
best regards Petr K.

VLC is not currently able to do this. Mostly because it would be very dangerious for most people to have the option of uncompressed video. You cannot stream uncompressed video in most cases (too much data). This could result in flooded links and RAM etc.

Sorry to contradict you thedj but you can

vlc yourvideo.mpg --sout "#transcode{vcodec=I420}:std{access=file,mux=raw,url=/tmp/file}" --noaudio

This is what I use to generate files to test the H264 JM encoder

Ah, so you just can't do this from the GUI ?

Thank you for the advice, it is working fine.

btw, in the win32 GUI, yuo cen use following MRL command, in the streamoutput window:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=I420}:std{access=file,mux=raw,url="C:\temp\stream\testDump2.yuv"}}

this command will do the same like the command line command before.
