The VideoLAN Forums

Dear vlc user,

first let me begin with congratulating the vlc devs for doing such a wonderful job!

I have this question:
Can I use vlc to record the following url: http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=8538797&start=00:00:00
Itś a show which was broad-casted on the Dutch television, but which I was able to find on-line. However, I would like to obtain that file and at first thought that a media file would be present on my /tmp folder. However, thatś not the case so Iḿ turning to the forum here to ask this question.

Hope somebody can help me.

Brgds
Dino

vlc http/dump://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=8538797&start=00:00:00 --demux-dumpfile /tmp/foobar

Thank you for the help.

Would it be possible to clarify the command somewhat for a beginner?

Thanks

vlc --demux dump --demux-dumpfile "/path/to/output/file" <URL>

I assume this is in the Terminal?
