Hmm. Plain openRTSP creates separate audio and video files. I don't think this is useful for later playing. mplayer doesn't find anything in the output of openRTSP -4 (or -q). > You may want to try this first.

I can successfully capture that with mplayer -dumpstream, but I'd prefer MP4 over WMV. Just because. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
