Can frames be extracted and then put in an array and then make a video?

No, you can't easily dump RTSP streams with VLCKit on iOS.

Yes, you can extract frames and do whatever you want with them. "make a video" is not a feature included in VLCKit though.

See the VLCThumbnailer class in VLCKit, which uses the memory video output module of VLC to render frames in memory buffers. Basically, you want to play the stream that way to get access to the frames.

Therefore, you need to extend VLCKit to gain proper access to them and this would be a welcome addition! :)
