[Live-devel] Open RTSP and video file splitting...

I didn't suggest "closing and reopening the RTSP stream".  My suggestion was to keep the RTSP stream open, but close just the "QuickTimeFileSink" object, then create a new one and call "startPlaying()" on it - from the existing source.  This doesn't involve any RTSP commands at all.

It sounds like you're trying to do something that the "QuickTimeFileSink" code was never intended to do - namely, detailed editing on the output file.

Your best solution then is probably just to record a single file for the entire stream, and then later - using some separate tool that's intended specifically for editing '.mov'/'.mp4' files - break it apart into separate files of whatever length you want.
