It would certainly be 'possible', but it would make an already complex program even more complex.  Remember that "openRTSP" is intended to be used by sophisticated users who know how to - if necessary - use shell scripts (or even customize the source code if necessary).

Yes.  I know of no reason why this won't work.


> Is the  -F <fileName-prefix> option intended to work with all file output types?  

It *was* intended to, but I discovered that it currently doesn't work with the "-q", "-4", or "-i" options (i.e., for generating ".mov", ".mp4", or ".avi" files).  This will be fixed in the next release of the software.
