I am trying to find a good way of controlling video that I can pipe into FFMPEG.
My first idea is to use VLC and pipe the ouput into FFMPEG, that way I can control VLC using it's API and I can still pause input and schedule a playlist etc.



I'm struggling to find a way to pipe rawvideo out of VLC and into FFMPEG however, I was hoping to do something like this:



vlc -I cvlc input.mkv --sout="#std{access=file,mux=rawvid,dst=-}"  | ./ffmpeg -y -re -i - output.mkv


It's not working, outputting errors like this:



pipe:: Invalid data found when processing input


I'm not familiar with VLCs commandline, and I'm struggling to navigate the documentation to find what I need. Can anyone suggest a better way I could do this, or how I could get VLC to pipe output correctly?



If possible I don't want to do any transcoding because FFMPEG will need to do that anyway.
