[streaming] Saving Video file with VLC

[Ankit Kapoor]

Hi Colin,

I am not running it from the command line. I am running the actual VLC
player GUI.

Below are the steps which I am running:

1) Launch VLC Player
2) Media -> Open Network Stream
3) Enter the URL which you want to stream
4) From the Tab which is showing play , select Stream option , it will open
another GUI
5) Click Next
6) Select display Locally option if you want to display the file locally and
unselect Activate transcoding
8) Add the destination where you want to store the file
9) In the profile options under Video/Audio Codec tab select Keep original
Video/Audio track
10) Click Next and then click Stream to start streaming

Will running it from the command line make any difference.
Any help will be appreciated.

Regards
Ankit Kapoor
