Hello,
I want to analyze an usb datastream with wireshark. To record the data I use a proprietary development that uses libusb to receive the data. Ok, to analyze the data I want to use wireshark. Is there a way to save the recorded data as a *.pcap File? Is there a library I could use to write the data into a file? Can you an recommend overview about this file format?

The wiki:

has some good information.
