Pipe UDP input to FFMPEG

A video camera is sending me video data as RTPs via UDP on a local port.

Does ffmpeg support automatically conversion of input (H.264 payload) to MP4 ?

How to do that ?

Solution

  • This should work:

    ffmpeg -i udp://localhost:1234 -vcodec copy output.mp4

    Or try:

    ffmpeg -i rtp://localhost:1234 -vcodec copy output.mp4

    Replace 1234 with your port. I assume that the input is already in H.264, if not, remove the -vcodec copy.
