Recording a Stream

Chapter 3

Record

StreamPlayer Plus only. Recording from VBricks using StreamPlayer Plus software may be done in a number of different modes with various protection schemes. The recording might consist of a single large file or a series of smaller, or batch, files. Batch files may be set up so that recent files overwrite earlier ones. Live streams might have the ability to record them suppressed or allowed through a password. The recorded stream can be the current stream being viewed or a different one. StreamPlayer can also record password-protected streams if you know the password. When attempting to record a stream that has been password protected, you will be prompted to enter the configured password. There are circumstances where you will not be able to record streams. For example, recording is not permitted when the application is unlicensed and running in demo mode. Recording can also be restricted or entirely disabled by an administrator. Note that Recording and Edit/FTP are currently supported for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
