Hi,
I have a task to build an application that records the video stream sent from a server. Serialization of the recorded file is necessary. File can be in any format. Can someone suggest me how to go about it?

I'd start by answering jkchan's question about the format of the received data.

After that, I'd look for a tute that extracted single-frames from a video - using that as a means of finding the info required to perform the opposite action, that is - adding frames to a (at first empty) video.

yes, that is one of the requirements..
i have to save the file..

stib_markc 18-Apr-12 6:04am

i mean i have to save the data into a file....whatever data that was streamed till then(when user wants to stop recording) should be saved into a file(.avi or .wmv or whatever..)

i had used direct show to save streams.. in that you can have source filter which reads data from a server, and saves/plays it .. you have a look at directshow samples..

ok, thanks for the suggestion, i will look into some of the samples of direct show and will get back...

can you please provide some examples, i couldn't find any relevant examples on net(and I am new to COM)...

what is your streaming server? i mean how you gets the data ?
you can have look at AsyncFilter( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317573(v=vs.85).aspx), in which it reads data from file. You can modify it to read from the server using socket programming..

if you are beginner in this i suggest you first have look at directshow programming tutorials and samples(it is available with the sdk)

a quick search found these
