Record any video stream to disk using VLC
Regarding the Mac/PC problem i related in my post, can anyone reproduce it and may be give me a hint on how to solve it? I suspect some codec problem here.

Your hint claims that VLC can capture Real streams. I've been trying to capture the following stream:

Hi,
I'm not the original poster, but I thought I'd chime in with a few comments about playing RealMedia files. I should add that I'm about to give the worst kind of advice -- the kind that involves passing along info that I've read about but never actually tried (yet).
...a correction about Realvideo files
...and I'm replying to my own comment. A correction:
The previously mentioned MPlayer app is a cmd-line utility. While this may be what some folks want, I imagine the rest will be interested in the GUI-based MPlayerOSX instead. You will still need to d/l and install the RealVideo codecs from the Real/Helix site separately. (Instructions are in the *.txt files that come with the MPlayerOSX app)
...and yet ANOTHER followup. RealVideo conversion found!
...*sigh*. Hopefully in the future there will be a way for guests to edit their own posted comments. Either that or I really need stop and think before I post comments.
Anyhow, it turns out that there *is* a simple way to convert *.rm files to AVI-DIVX/MPEG/etc. that I had completely forgotten about: ffmpegX. While it's a nice GUI-based app, the installation is a bit involved since there are 4 files (including the Realvideo libs) that the user must d/l and install themselves, due to license issues. NOTE:There is an ongoing discussion as to whether or not the use of the Real/Helix libraries are allowed for transcoding purposes. Consult the Real's click-thru EULA prior to d/l-ing if this concerns you]

Thanks for the hint about MPlayer and rm-files. I did exactly what you suggested , only MPlayer doesn't play RealVideo streams - at least not with me. |
