See http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChAdvFollowTCPSection.html

Means that "Follow TCP Stream" keeps only the application layer data (i.e. TCP, IP, Ethernet ... data is removed).

So you can NOT :
- save as in a .pcap format.
- reload the file into wireshark

I think you must do :
- conversation filter
- save as and select the option "Displayed" inside "Packet range" frame.

Hi all,
i have been using Wireshark for network analysis.But i can't view the saved files(saved using Follow TCP Stream) in Wireshark window.The error message reads as below:
"flow5.pcap" isn't a capture file in a format Wireshark understands.
Can anybody help me to save the files in proper format and also to view that file.
