I need to get a few stand a lone modules for video processing.


- We are using an Axis 211A Video Camera
- It provides an MPEG4 Video stream from a URL like this axrtpu://192.168.0.201/mpeg4/media.amp
- details can be found on this page. http://www.axis.com/techsup/cam_servers/dev/activex.htm

1. We want a robust reliable module (probably a windows service)that will watch this stream and record the entire stream to disk for as long as the program is active.

e.g. record the entire stream to c:\MyVeryBigAndGrowing.mpg


2. We need a command line prgram that can snip segments out of this stream based on a start and end time and store them as AVI files.

e.g. Snip.exe /start 14:10:59.000 /end 14:11:02.050 source c:\MyBigAndGrowingFile.mpg /target c:\MyShortSnippet.AVI

It looks to me like DirectShow ISteamBufferSink and IStreamBufferSource should do most of the work.

I'm not stuck n DirectShow. Any proposal is welcome as long is it runs on WindowsXP and Vista

3. The solution should be expandable to support other camera types.  That is support cameras from other major camera vendors.
