OK,the stream saving problem has been solved now.The key point is to set the "vcodec" to "mp4v",but not the "h264".However,there is another problem now.When I call "libvlc_media_player_stop" to stop recording,apparently it had stopped recording because the file stopped getting bigger.But VLC didn't seem to had already closed the file that no player can open and play the file until the program was closed.How to solve this problem?Thank you!!
