[MPlayer-users] Piping mplayer output while displaying to -vo device

[Jesse L. Zamora]

Hello,

I've been developing a TV application for Linux using mplayer and 
mencoder as the backends (for viewing and recording). But I have a small 
dilema. Mencoder cannot record video while mplayer is displaying it on the 
same device. So, I'd like to know if mplayer can pipe the video and audio 
output to a mkfifo pipe so then mencoder could record from the it? But, I 
don't know if that would be the best way to do it. Any suggestions?

Thanks alot!

P.S. I must say that using mplayer as a tv backend is wonderful! I've 
tested it with my program for hours and hours and it NEVER has crashed!
