Hi. Thanks for the patch.

Le quartidi 14 germinal, an CCXXV, Timothy Lee a écrit :
> Capture is an input stream capture protocol that dumps the input stream to a
> file.  The default name of the output file is "capture.dat", but it can be
> changed using the "capture_file" option.

> capture.c borrows heavily from cache.c.

Can you explain more precisely how and why? Borrowing code often means
features could be merged or should be more clearly separated, depending
on cases.

I think the documentation and ChangeLog patches should be merged with
this one.

Do you have any particular reason to use a direct file access for the
capture file instead of relying on an AVIO URL?

c->fd is not a proper return code; other parts of the code that touch
avpriv_open() use AVERROR(errno). But using AVIO instead avoids that.

Theoretically, write() could write less than size but still return
success.

These are only preliminary comments. Pending explanations on the
relation with cache:, I have not yet looked at the global logic.
