rtsp url path arguments not accepted

[derekward]

Hi

I am trying to transcode the rtsp feed from my cctv dvr to mp4 but the url I use is not accepted. It works with a host of other programs for viewing the rtsp feed.

Below is the command I used and the result

ffmpeg -i rtsp://192.168.10.200:554/user=admin&password=xxxxxxx&channel=1&stream=1.sdp?real_stream--rtp-caching=100 -r 15 d:\stream\2013-04-30 17_18_34.703.mp4

I believe the command line is just missing the quotation marks that the shell requires.
