[MPlayer-users] Watching a filmand recording it at the same time?

[Laurent Dufréchou]

Hello RC,

Ok so I record the file in test.avi.
While doing this I've launched mplayer:
> MPlayer 1.0pre8-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
> CPU:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz (Family: 6,
> Model: 13, Stepping: 8)

> Compilé pour CPU x86 avec les extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2

> 93 codecs audio & 211 codecs vidéo
> Lecture de test.avi

> Sortie... (Fin du fichier)    << Exiting... (end of file)

hum ... so was almost what I was saying.. almost ;)

file test.avi gives:
> test.avi: data
then mplayer -v test.avi gives:

doing file after the recording apps as done is job:
file tes.avi
> test.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 25.00 fps, video:
> DivX 5, audio: uncompressed PCM (stereo, 48000 Hz)

So it seems this recording app is writing avi file info only when the
it's closing the file.
(I'm don't even know how avi files works) (sure you are more experienced
with this :) )

Perhaps is there a way to force mplayer to read the file in divX raw mode??
