I am trying to record down a video stream from an IP camera.

i can view the stream with:
mplayer rtsp://192.168.2.6/play1.sdp

However when i tried to save the stream by:
mplayer -dumpstream rtsp://192.168.2.6/play1.sdp -dumpfile /home/test.avi

I got the following error:

MPlayer SVN-r1.0~rc3+svn20090426-4.4.3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

How can I solve the file descriptor problem? Anyone can help?
Thanks a lot
