AXIS NETWORK CAMERAS MJPEG REQUEST
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 1:02 pm
Hi,
I'm currently working with Axis networks cameras, and I need to create movies originating from the pictures I get from the cam. I've been told by Axis itself not to use make repeated wget requests using the cgi-bin path, but to do instead request using the /mjpg/video.mjpg path. The request is a lot quicker and more stable. Those who ever used an Axis product sure know what I'm talking about. I'm surely not the first that first thought that I was getting a motion-jpeg stream, but in fact axis's mjpeg means multipart-jpeg. Doing a wget on /mjpg/video.mjpg will result in jpeg images one after the other separated by a tag, boundary content-type jpeg.
My question is: do anyone know how I could process this file with tools such as ffmpeg to create a movie?? I know splitting the file into severals jpeg's would be a solution, but I havent been able to do that without gettting errors..I thank you A LOT for your answers..
cheers
