Hi

I was just messing with this the other day. Something like this should
do. set the output to "pipe:" and use a pipe to the segmenter and "-"
for the segmenter to
read from the pipe.
example

ffmpeg -i rtp://127.0.0.1:1234 -y -r 29.97 -vcodec libx264 -vprofile
baseline -preset veryfast -threads 4 -b 300000 -acodec libfaac -ac 2
-ab 128000 -f mpegts -s 854x480 pipe: | segmenter  - <rest of your
options>
