But it ignores the second input file (what was that good for?) > is there a way to just use a single input to dump 1 file and display 1 > sdl output? hmm, probably. This isn't the ffmpeg-user list, but: Sure, ffmpeg supports multiple outputs. $ ffmpeg -i http://samples.ffmpeg.org/V-codecs/sn40sample.avi out.mp4 -f sdl bla And I believe the restriction of ffmpeg (vs. ffplay) of not being able to control the output, e.g. by skipping backwards or forwards, is quite practical, as you don't want to do that while actually trying to dump the same file. So ffmpeg remains the optimal solution for this, not an ffplay hack, IMHO. So, for the original "poster" [what do we call them on a mailing list?]: $ ffmpeg -i 'rtsp://192.168.178.80:554/user=admin_password=PASSWORD_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream?tcp' -c copy dump.mkv -f sdl bla Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
