probably a beginner's question:

I am trying to save the incoming RTP stream into a local file. How do i achieve this?

I tried this from command line:

vlc.exe -vvv rtp://@IP:Port --sout=#std{access=file url="/tmp/recorded"}

But it didn't work.
Am i missing something?

Thanks.

don't know if in windows it's the same, but,

:sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="/home/user/test.avi"}} (vlc 0.8.6)

in 0.9.* should be similar if not the same

either way, i advice you first try it with the GUI , then (with the command is right) adapt it to the command line, see if you get the stream correctly (i'm assuming that you do), then try to save to a file

on a first approach, try to replace url by dst in your command line (and giving you're in windows, give also an extension to the file)

* The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

Hi,

Can RTP be multicasted (I don't remember, don't think)? If yes:
* example which should save the stream to a MPEG-TS file: If no, maybe more like: (nothing tested)

Be aware that "vlc.exe" is the windows name of VLC program while /tmp/.. is more a *nix-like filename. If you are not using some kind of GNU/Linux environment on your Windows (cygwin, mingw, etc), then this filename is invalid. Use c:\folder\file instead, double-quoted if necessary.
