Hi Folks,

I am attempting to narrow down an issue that I am having.

I am using openRTSP to record from Axis P3301 IP cameras (H.264/AAC via RTSP). In general things are working out great. Unfortunately about 1% of the files (5 to 6 minutes long) seem to have issues opening (in QuickTime or any other software (VLC, MPlayer and so on)). Generally the error I get has something to do with a missing or corrupt atom.

Here is the command I am using:

openRTSP -q -f 30 -w 640 -h 480 -t -Q -b 200000 -y rtsp://10.0.1.1/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&resolution=640x480&audio=1&duration=0&fps=30&videobitrate=10000&videomaxbitrate=10000&videobitratepriority=framerate&videokeyframeinterval=2&compression=10&color=1&clock=0&date=0&text=0 > recording.mov 2>output.log & echo $!

The QoS reports seem fine. Sometimes the packet loss is high but that doesn't seem to directly correspond to corrupt files. (One thing that is strange to me is that that the packet loss is sometimes high even though since I am using the -t for TCP which I would expect to be more reliable although slower than UDP. If I use the -l flag things get really strange and I seem to double or even triple the bitrate and get very strange looking video with flashes and so forth.)

I am stopping the recording by issuing a kill -1 PID.

I am glad to dig through the source and try to identify and correct the issue, I am just not sure where to begin. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

ps.  Should I provide a sample file?
