[streaming] Saving Video file with VLC

[Gergely Kiss]

Hi Ankit,

you should also make sure that Darwin doesn't do any transcoding while
streaming the file. I don't know how it works (have never used it before),
but as it is an Apple product, probably it transcodes all files to Quicktime
format by default - but this is just an assumption.

File size shouldn't be much bigger (or bigger at all) if you redirect the
stream directly to a file.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.


Regards
Gergely Kiss
