Hi all,
VLC in future versions will able to save stream to file dinamically?
I mean that the user would press a "record button" during video displaying and the video,
from this point, will save to defined file .

Thanks,
Tamiro.

Yes, 1.0 will do this.

Great.
And libvlc would let me (through .NET interface) to do that also, right?

Yes.
Everything that VLC can do, libVLC can do.

Thanks.
Except writing text dinamically during incoming stream.

No, it can. A bit difficult, but it can.

Do you have some examples?

Do you have some examples?

Use Marqee filter.

I'm using the Marqee filter for titles.
But how can i update during a stream playing?

Yes, 1.0 will do this.

Really? How to (I have 1.0-git and I can't find it)? Is it possible for an http stream to save tracks separately using meta data for the file name?

Because 1.0.0 isn`t finalised yet.

I have few questions on this topic:

1. - When playing video stream,will disabling video via Video>Video track save bandwidth?

2. - When playing video stream on slow connection,video is choppy and freezes,but if I choose to save that stream to a file,will program be able to do it recording data chunk by chunk as it arrives,so when file is played,it will go on smoothly?

3. - On panel for choosing format in which video stream will be saved,every profile has in its options selected MPEG-TS as its mode of encapsulation.Is this normal or not?

4. - What is the file extension I should add to a file name in Destination file field if I want to save video stream as Video - H.264 + AAC (TS)?

1. No. RTSP might allow behavior like that, but I am not sure.
2. Not for all formats.But for most formats it should work.
3. This should be fixed in latest 1.0.0 builds.
4. If you use TS, then select .ts

About question number 4:
If the stream is H.264 in payload type 96 (dinamically)? which file format to choose?

If you mean elementary H.264 stream, then try RAW.

movie.RAW? just like that?

Suitable file extension for ES H.264 streams is usually .264, but file extensions shouldn't be issue.

OK.
Thanks.
VLC_help,
I wondered if you can help me in another subject (didn't get any answer in forum):
How can i change marquee dynamically through rc telnet (since there is no other option).

Thanks,
Tamiro.

that should help about dynamic marquee

Thanks very much, i'll try it.
If i want it from code (c#) i should activate a Telnet client, right?
(Since there is no regular option)

telnet or RC, both should work.

I tried and it works!
But from code: where do i write " -I rc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" "
At init options? and from where i can control on @test? i don't have a VLC command line in order to change @test marq.

Thanks again.

Yep, at init. And you connect to telnet or RC interface using putty or another client.

vlc_help,
This is what you've ment?
