<title>Saving streamed content</title>
<para>
Once you succeed in making <application>MPlayer</application> play
- your favorite internet radio station, you can use the option
+ your favorite internet stream, you can use the option
<option>-dumpstream</option> to save the stream into a file.
For example:
<screen>
- mplayer <replaceable>http://217.71.208.37:8006</replaceable> -dumpstream -dumpfile <replaceable>tsf-jazz.mp3</replaceable>
+ mplayer <replaceable>http://217.71.208.37:8006</replaceable> -dumpstream -dumpfile <replaceable>stream.asf</replaceable>
</screen>
will save the content streamed from
<replaceable>http://217.71.208.37:8006</replaceable> into
- <replaceable>tsf-jazz.mp3</replaceable>.
- This also works with all protocols supported by
+ <replaceable>stream.asf</replaceable>.
+ This works with all protocols supported by
<application>MPlayer</application>, like MMS, RSTP, and so forth.
+ If you only wish to save audio or video, use <option>-dumpaudio</option>
+ or <option>-dumpvideo</option> respectively, but be aware that
+ <application>MPlayer</application> will ignore all but the last
+ <option>-dump*</option> option given on the command line.
