Streaming & transcoding trouble - "invalid chain"

[vax]

Hi.

I'm trying to stream live video from FireWire DV-camera to 2 different places in my network. First stream has to be transcoded with x264 encoder, second - just redirected to other place. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3 and VLC player 0.8.6i, because all the 0.9.x releases can't encode H.264.

Too bad it doesn't work with my command line parameters. Here they are (from .cmd file):

Code: Select all

start vlc.exe dshow:// :sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=10.10.3.187:55500},dst="transcode{vcodec=h264,deinterlace=1,vb=600,scale=1,threads=2,high-priority=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=10.10.3.189:55500}"}

When I double-click this .cmd, VLC player outputs video stream on the screen only. There is no any network activity.

This is the fragment of my "messages" log:

Code: Select all

main debug: using sout stream module "stream_out_standard" stream_out_duplicate debug: * adding `transcode{vcodec=h264,deinterlace=1,vb=600,scale=1,threads=2,high-priority=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128}' main debug: stream=`transcode' main debug: looking for sout stream module: 1 candidate main error: invalid chain stream_out_transcode error: cannot create chain main warning: no sout stream module matching "transcode" could be loaded main debug: destroying chain... (name=transcode) main debug: destroying chain done main debug: using sout stream module "stream_out_duplicate"

Where's the error and what should I do?

Hmmm...
It seems that I have to wait for 1.0.0-release.

The only solution today is duplicate my DVcam with some "virtual camera" software and then rewrite both VLCRCs. One VLC player for streaming, one for saving to HDD.
