Now I want to record 开发者_如何学JAVAthe live stream into a video.

The parameters to be supplied are begin_time, end_time, format of video etc.

I appreciate any guidance.

what is the format of streaming protocol You need a tool to capture the stream on server or client

• client tools to record and save video http: use wget rtmp: use rtmpdump rtsp: use openrtsp http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/

vlc player can also record multiple format to disk it just saves the raw data to disk, if you need another format use ffmpeg to transkode.
