I was under the impression that the record feature made vlc reencode the video rather than just capture the stream.  I have some different video formats.  I can try to record from mp4 and from mpg1 and let you know.

Harry Potter SUCKS!

using the recording button

I have looked for (and seen that others have, too) a way to change the recording format when you press the recording button. I am quite a newby to vlc, I cannot tell how to, but anyway I found a possible error in this page and some interesting info. It appears that the info is not correct that the recording format for the button is MJPEG, it appears to be the native format of the stream. Maybe the author can check this.

In "Other notes" the author refers to the file VLCRC. In this file there is an entry (not active because starting with a "#") that appears to open the possibility to change this format. I would appreciate a discussion about how this could be done.
