Editing streamed video

can2002 · 2006-10-19, 12:17

Hi all,

A friend put me onto the forum as a good source.

I am using a Reelbox linux-based DVB-S receiver that provides an http mpeg-2 PS streaming service. I can record this stream directly to disk on my PC using firefox, wget, etc.

The requirement I have is to be able to dump subsections of the stream out to file while the programme is still feeding (e.g. crop a five minute section). While I can open the captured mpeg2 file with a utility such as VideoReDo Plus, it won't let me create the cropped file while the file is still open...

I have a basic workaround of copying the captured file and carrying out the edit using the copy; however this becomes an issue as the file grows bigger and bigger.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,
Chris
