why does that matter? I understand that it is going to be a huge data, but I just want to know how I can do this. And if I cannot support it, I will compress it.

<p>How to send stream to server without any compression (output should be exactly the same as the video stream being sent)?</p>

<p>ffmpeg doesn't seem to be able to do that. It always lose something (based on filesize and ffprobe output). Is there any alternative?</p>

<p>This question is asking for alternative to ffmpeg that may do the job more easily than ffmpeg. </p>

It would be better to edit that post to clarify what you want than posting essentially the same question again.

How to send stream to server without any compression (output should be exactly the same as the video stream being sent)?

ffmpeg doesn't seem to be able to do that. It always lose something (based on filesize and ffprobe output). Is there any alternative?
