Ohhh :( That’s bad news, but I guess it explains why I couldn’t get it
working with any files or streams. I was hoping it simply (as the name
sugests) lets u record whatever vlc is displaying.

Im probably naïve, but isn’t it enough to simply save the data u receive in
a file? Like a sort of raw dump? It might get a few corrupt frames initially
but after the first keyframe it should work for most formats? I seem to
remember a chain to a raw file worked for most formats, couldn’t a module be
made that did something similar?

A "real" record function would really rock in vlc!

In any case thanks for explaining the situation.

Cheers
