Recording stream to file system

[Anxelm52]

Hello, I'm using .net wrapper over standard libvlc library = > you won't spot any differences

The code i'm using is as follows:

Code: Select all

LibVlc.SetDllDirectory(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC"); var arguments = new[] { "-I", "dummy", "--sout=\"#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,venc=theora,scale=0.5,fps=10}:standard{access=\"file\",mux=\"ps\",dst=\"hello.mpg\"}\"" }; IntPtr instance = LibVlc.libvlc_new(arguments.Length, arguments); IntPtr media = LibVlc.libvlc_media_new_location(instance, "screen://"); IntPtr player = LibVlc.libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(media); LibVlc.libvlc_media_player_play(player); Thread.Sleep(5000); LibVlc.libvlc_media_player_pause(player); LibVlc.libvlc_media_player_stop(player); LibVlc.libvlc_media_release(media); LibVlc.libvlc_media_player_release(player); LibVlc.libvlc_release(instance);

So basically my input stream is what happens on the screen, and it should be written to "hello.mpg" file, but the program only creates the file, blocks it while execution takes place and that's it.
After the execution i have an empty file "hello.mpg" and obviously i can't play it.
Any help would be appreciated.

libtheora cannot encode H.264. No surprises here.

fixed
the line i really needed was:
"--sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{scenecut=100,bframes=0,keyint=10},vb=2048,acodec=none,scale=1.0}:duplicate{dst=std{mux=mp4,access=file,dst=\"screencast.mp4\"}}"
