Install VLC to mac
The caltrans webcams download both asx and asf files. These video streams are being served by windows media server. The asx files seem to work

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv  d4-N101-at-N1st.asx --sout='#transcode{vcodec=h264}:std{access=file,dst=/Users/dc/videodemos/traffictest.mp4}'

You won't see a display. ls -al the file traffictest.mp4 and you should see it growing after a couple seconds of CPU processing
