3.2. Save a stream with VLC

VLC can save the stream to the disk. In order to do this, use the Stream Output of VLC : you can do it via the graphical interface, or you can add to the command line the following argument :

--sout file/muxer:stream.xyz

where :

• muxer is one of the formats supported by VLC's stream output, i.e. :

  • avi for AVI format ,

  • ogg for OGG format ,

  • ps for MPEG2-PS format ,

  • ts or ts_dvbpsi for MPEG2-PS format (the latter uses libdvbpsi for the task) .

• and stream.xyz is the name of the file you want to save the stream to, with the right extension .
