Download streaming RTSP protocol

Question

Hi,

Are there any class or snippet in PHP or C# (better in php if could be), to download video from an streaming source that uses RTSP protocol?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best Regards.

Jose.

You will have to call out to an external program to do this. Check out mplayer -dumpstream and, if that fails, rtmpdump. Keep in mind that saving the stream will take a long time, so it's almost certainly better done in an external process that spawns a number of worker. Your web application can then communicate with the process to pass jobs and results back and forth.
