Recording a live stream with Action Script

sup /prog/

i'm looking for a way to record a live video stream on the client side, preferably with action script 3
basically i just want to make to create a file with what the client would see
would Stream.get(streamname) work?

for school we're working together with a local company that needs a software that we're programming
they record video, stream it to us, we record the stream, add timing information for a second data stream (like... the ranking or timing information at a sport event), and then we stream it to a streaming server

alternatively... is there a automated way to record a stream with VLC? is it still free if i use it comercially?

I was only referring to the licensing thing. I went to videolan.org and found everything about it in 2 clicks. So excuse me for being angry but it bugs me how people ask on forms about stuff they can find out in a matter of seconds.

As for your streaming thing, if you use a linux OS the webcam will be a file just like your incoming stream. Instead of using the webcam file use the other file. You will need some srs knowledge about streaming and stuff if you want to do it on another OS.

BTW funny way to experiment with device files: run "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" from a terminal.^^
