Hi, I am trying to dump test one minute duration of a live stream to a file: rtmpdump -r "rtmp://URL" --live --flv "c:\output_file.mp4" --stop 60

RTMPDump v2.3 (c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL Connecting ... WARNING: HandShake: client signature does not match! INFO: Connected... Starting Live Stream For duration: 60.000 sec INFO: Metadata: INFO: width 360.00 INFO: height 288.00 INFO: framerate 25.00 INFO: videocodecid 7.00 INFO: videodatarate 128.00 INFO: audiodatarate 96.00 1759.932 kB / 58.99 sec Download complete

The file get created but I can not open, transcode or edit it using various tools: flvtool2, SUPER(which use FFMPEG), classic windows media player ... etc, just VLC could open it. no difference when I save the file as '.flv'.

Any idea what is the problem?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply, here is the full command and its output: rtmpdump -r "rtmp://swarmcasteulivefs.fplive.net/swarmcasteulive-live/swrmcst_alarabiya" --live --flv "c:\output_file.flv" --stop 60 here is the created file: http://simplewebcode.com/output_file.flv there is not difference if I end the filename with .flv or .mp4

rtmpdump outputs a file which works in mplayer and ffplay for me. i can also play your url in mplayer and ffplay. i can also convert your file: ffmpeg -i http://simplewebcode.com/output_file.flv out.avi out.avi then plays fine for me. maybe your ffmpeg tools (super) are too old? try getting newer versions. versions tested: FFmpeg version SVN-r25094 FFplay version SVN-r25094 MPlayer SVN-r31372-4.2.5 MPlayer SVN-r32355-3.4.5 -compn

Players based on ffmpeg like VLC and others could play that file but not others like media player classic and even when I try to convert it to mp4 preserving the original codecs, because I need to analyze it using Elecard StreamEye, ffmpeg fails to do that, here is the command and its output: ffmpeg -i "c:\output_file.flv" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "c:\output_file.mp4" FFmpeg version SVN-r22716, Copyright (c) 2000-2010 the FFmpeg developers built on Mar 29 2010 06:05:44 with gcc 4.4.2 configuration: --enable-memalign-hack --cross-prefix=i686-mingw32- --cc=ccache -i686-mingw32-gcc --arch=i686 --target-os=mingw32 --enable-runtime-cpudetect --e nable-avisynth --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-bzlib --enable-libgsm --e nable-libfaad --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-l ibspeex --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libxvid --enable-libsc hroedinger --enable-libx264 --enable-libopencore_amrwb --enable-libopencore_amrn b libavutil 50.13. 0 / 50.13. 0 libavcodec 52.61. 0 / 52.61. 0 libavformat 52.58. 0 / 52.58. 0 libavdevice 52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0 libswscale 0.10. 0 / 0.10. 0 [flv @ 01a1d490]negative cts, previous timestamps might be wrong Last message repeated 67 times [flv @ 01a1d490]Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 50.00 (50/1) -> 25.25 (101/4) Input #0, flv, from 'c:\output_file.flv': Duration: 00:00:59.99, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0.0: Video: h264, yuv420p, 720x576 [PAR 16:15 DAR 4:3], 50 fps, 25.2 5 tbr, 1k tbn, 50 tbc Stream #0.1: Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, mono, s16 Output #0, mp4, to 'c:\output_file.mp4': Metadata: encoder : Lavf52.58.0 Stream #0.0: Video: libx264, yuv420p, 720x576 [PAR 16:15 DAR 4:3], q=2-31, 5 0 tbn, 25 tbc Stream #0.1: Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, mono Stream mapping: Stream #0.0 -> #0.0 Stream #0.1 -> #0.1 Press [q] to stop encoding [mp4 @ 01b08070]st:0 error, non monotone timestamps -2 >= -2 av_interleaved_write_frame(): Error number -1 occurred I am going to make video on demand files of our live stream which is recorded as one big file for each 24 hours on Flash media server and will need to repeat this chain much: record rtmp video using rtmpdump->mux as mp4 using ffmpeg ________________________________ From: Howard Chu <hyc@highlandsun.com> To: rtmpdump discussion and development <rtmpdump@mplayerhq.hu> Sent: Fri, October 8, 2010 3:12:09 AM Subject: Re: [rtmpdump] corrupt dumped file compn wrote:

Played fine for me too, but with lots of complaints about invalid timestamps. Very likely the original source is spewing incorrect timestamps. _______________________________________________ rtmpdump mailing list rtmpdump@mplayerhq.hu https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/rtmpdump
