I am trying to capture a video network stream and save it in a file. I have found a couple of articles on how to do that using VLC, but none of them worked. All of them used the procedure outlined in this previous question: How to record a mp3/m3u stream using VLC?
However, when I attempt to either stream to a file or convert a stream to a file, the only thing I get is an empty .mp4 file. When streaming it directly to the file, VLC instead start displaying the stream locally (despite having this option turned off).
I also found this related thread which suggests that this might be a bug of VLC itself; however, browsing through the ticket I was unable to find what the cause of this is and what a possible way to resolve it could look like.
Is there currently a way to capture a video network stream to a file? If VLC can't do this I am happy to try something else.
Just a heads up: I am not trying to rip copyrighted material; there is a conference that is streaming it's talks, but the interesting talks take place in times where I can't attend them, so I would like to record them for seeing them the next day.
