I have a problem with recording rtsp stream with VLC player. Actually my method works in MacOS X, but doesn't in Windows. Command line:

vlc -vvv rtsp://admin:[email protected]/live/h264/ --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vfilter=canvas{width=800,height=600}}:std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\123.mp4}"

On MacOS it works fine, but under Windows it creates unreadable file. MediaInfo output:

General
Complete name                            : C:\123.mp4
Format                                   : MPEG-4
Format profile                           : Base Media
Codec ID                                 : isom
File size                                : 1.08 MiB

Any suggestions?

Seems like your destination URL is not correct. Try this: 

vlc -vvv rtsp://admin:[email protected]/live/h264/ --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vfilter=canvas{width=800,height=600}}:std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=C:\\123.mp4}"
