Saving content to disk while HTTP progressive download

[TheSorcerer]

Hi!

I'm using VLC ActiveX Player. I'm playing a video content via HTTP progressive downloading.

Code: Select all

string url = "http://....."; vlcActiveX.addTarget(url, null, VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo, 0);

I was wondering if there were any way to save video to disk while I'm watching it, i.e, not downloading twice.

Thanks.

First of all, thanks for your reply.

I've been reading the post you recommended me. I think that I can adapt it to my example but I'm not succeding. I think the following code

Code: Select all

vlcLive.addTarget "dshow://:dshow-vdev=""""", Array(":dshow-adev=""none"":dshow-size=""""", ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=C:\\test.ogg}}"), VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo, -1

is near from what I want. I've been trying with the following code:

Code: Select all

string url = "http://..../myvideo.flv"; vlcActiveX.addTarget(url, ":sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=wmv,dst=C:\\test.wmv}}", VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListReplaceAndGo, 0);

If original format is flv and I want to save to disk in wmv format, for example, how I can do it??

Thanks.

i think you need to transcode in WMV format.

First try to make ogg output work as in the example, then adapt it to wmv.
