[Live-devel] openRTSP Test Program Fails to Export a File

[Ross Finlayson]

> I'm using the live555 library in order to save an RTSP stream from a PTZ camera.  I used the openRTSP program in the "testProgs" directory in order to test whether it would work with the camera I was using.  From the output, the program was able to connect to and talk to the camera and request frames from it.  However, upon examining the output files from the program, the data was corrupt.

Are you sure?  You haven't said what RTP payload format the stream was using.  Please post the RTSP protocol exchange (the debugging output from "openRTSP").


>  My next test was to try outputting a quicktime file.  When I tried this, the program started printing Klingon to the screen and producing an annoying beeping.

That's because the "-q" (and the "-i" and "-4" options) output to 'stdout'.  If you want to write the output to a file, then you will need to redirect 'stdout' to it.
