Watching and saving an iptv stream with variable framerate

[Jo2003]

Hi there! Is there a way to watch and dump a iptv ts stream with variable framerate so the variable framerate is also stored in the resulting dump file?

When only watching this stream, all is well. But if I try to watch and store the stream, it becomes jerky. I use following command line to watch and save:

Code: Select all

vlc [url to play] --sout#duplicate{dst=display, dst=std{access=file, mux=ts, dst='/file/to/save.ts'}}

Is there a way to save the stream "untouched" and show it as well? Or an option to keep the variable framerate when remuxing the stream in standard output module?

Thanks in advance,
Jo2003

can you try mux=mp4 instead ?

Thank you for your quick reply. I already tried that with no success.

Best regards,

when you say it becomes jerky, is it when you watch it while you save it, or when you watch the saved file ?

[Jo2003]

It is jerky while watching (when saving it) and when watching the saved file. It is not jerky when only watching it.

looks like a bug in vlc...
Do you have a recent version (1.1) ? if yes, can you try a nightly build ? http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/last/

Thank you very much. Yes, I use already 1.1.4. I'll try 1.15 and also nightly builds.
