record button behavior with libvlc

[Zingaro2002]

Hi all,
libvlc.dll is wonderful.

I'd like to replicate "VLC record button" behavior in my application: is there any function/procedure that calls something like "start record this stream to \path\to\filename.abc" and then "stop record this stream to \path\to\filename.abc"
(just like screenshot behavior!)

I mean: I know I can use command line transcode, but I don't want to stop live viewing (with a "close-changefilename-startAgain" script).
I just want to emulate VLC recod button behavior: while I am viewving I can start record, than stop record, and so on (without interruptions in viewing).

Thanks!!!

That would need some additions to LibVLC.

well... I think it would be "enough" to have a function that dumps the opened stream (or the file being played) to a file on the disc with a startRecord-stopRecord behaviour (that's what record button does, right?).

I am thinking of something similar to libvlc_video_take_snapshot
