video

Hello guys,

Using NetStream, I can create progressive video player. But can I save the downloaded chunk to my local disk in AIR??

My first idea is that, download part of file into local disk, let NetStream pointing to that file, and then appends the chunks to that file (FileMode.APPEND) periodically. But it does not work and seems that NetStream would 'lock' the file preventing write operation.

Any ideas?
