My bad, I was under the impression that QuickTimeFileSink object
was tightly bound with the RTSP control object.

Fair enough, but unfortunately I cannot record a single file as I need
to be feeding real-time ( actually a delayed stream of .. X seconds )
the Microsoft Expression Encoder.

Last question and I understand this is clearly not something you support
or even appreciate; but what would be the way to do a  QuickTimeFileSink
sink alike class that supports multi-file output handling the way I 
need it ?

In any case thanks for all these feedback so far, it's greatly 
appreciated.
