Record Video and Audio from rtsp stream

[zippytiff]

Hi,

im running VLC on windows v2.0.4

I did lots of googling on this issue and couldnt find any obvious answers, apollogies if this is a duplicate of another thread

i have an rtsp feed from an IP Camera, in VLC i can see from Tools/Codec Information that i have

Stream 0
Type : Video
etc.....

Stream 1
Type : Audio
etc....

When watching the stream live in VLC, i get the video and audio ! GREAT, this is what i then want to record

So i have tried advanced settings : Record button (where are the settings for this button???)

But when i check the file it recorded to my video's folder it only has video and NO Audio as confirmed by Gspot

I have tried the Stream wizard, but generally keeping the defaults and clicking next next next etc

Please could i have some pointers to get both audio and video from an rtsp stream recorded

Thanks in advance

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start to record and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of the resulting recorded file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to EmbedUpload.com, so it will upload the file for you to several other hosts, and then post the link to the file here.

Hi,

Thanks for reply, i have done the level 2 logging....

i noticed one set of entries which said:

mux_ogg debug: adding input
mux_ogg debug: g726 stream
main debug: adding a new input
mux_ogg debug: adding input
mux_ogg warning: Missing frame rate, assuming 25fps
main error: cannot add this stream

it has not effected the results but may throw in some extra errors, but i did thi log over my 3G dongle/vpn into lab as im traveling at the moment, but last night i was in lab on LAN when i saw results for initial post.

log below:

Hi all

changing to the mkv mux did the trick

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc -vvv rtsp://<REMOVED>/live1.sdp --sout #duplicate{dst=display,dst=standard{access=file,mux=mkv,dst=c:\testmkv8.mkv}

this will display and output to file

Regards
