No, because “openRTSP”, by default, outputs each substream - in this case MPEG Transport Stream data (for video), and PCM audio - into its own file.

You could try to combine the video and audio into a single “.mp4”-format file (written to ‘stdout’) by using the “-4” option, e.g.
	openRTSP -4 -d 10 rtsp://172.20.172.10/uas1 > test.mp4
The “-d <duration>” option - to tell “openRTSP” to run for a specified length of time - is important; see the “Important note” at the bottom of this section

But WHY, OH WHY are you running a version of the “LIVE555 Streaming Media” software that’s more than 2 1/2 year old???  Surely you realize that we don’t support old versions of the code!  Upgrading to the latest version of the software should have been the first thing that you did, before you started asking questions.
