Capturing without break
Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to go on recording even when the source will disappear for a while? Reason: I plan to record several sources at a time as independent recordings. Source A will become Video A, Source B will become Video B and so on. Source A will be the "master" and the duration of its recording is the reference for all other recordings. If Source A lasts 30 minutes then all other sources should last 30 minutes as well, no matter if their sources deliver valid signals or not. It is not really neccessary that the duration of all recordings is exactly the same. If there's a loss of signal and the recording stops then it is fine enough to automatically start a second recording without a signal if the break between ending the first recording and start with the next recording takes not longer than one second. I would use then a script which puts both streams together. Thanks in advance!

FFmpeg is (a library and) a transcoding tool, the specific recording format "data" is currently broken. Use mplayer -dumpstream or tcpdump or tools/aviocat to record streamed media. (You did not give enough information, so I cannot know which tool would be the best for your usecase, there likely are others.) Carl Eugen
