if the vlc involves the P2P techenology, it seems cool. Is there any open source P2P applications, so that it can be easy to combine.

well, VLC is a excellent player with plenty good featrues, it supports many streaming format. But if stream video to a large number of client, the server will be overbundenned. The P2P technology can make every peer to be both a server and a client, that's just the vlc can do, right? Can we combine ...

Hi all, I am using vlc0.7.2 under Linux. I want to transcode a video and multicast it to other machines. I have tried this non-transcode one successful: vlc -vvv test.avi --sout '#transcode:std:{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.20.30.40:1234}' but when I tanscode the video and multicast it, then it fails: ...

Hi all, I am new to Linux. I want to output the debug message on the screen to a file. I tried this: vlc -vvv >a.txt But it doesn't work. When I check the a.txt file, it's empty. I tried this one: ls >a.txt , it works. Can anyone tell me how I can put the vlc debug message to a file? Thank you:)

Thank you for your answer. I think I may use kde to show the interface, so the v4l GUI isnot shown. But I tried the below command but it doesn't work:
vlc -vvv v4l:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0
I input voice through microphone, but I cannot hear anything in my headphone.

I have some problem with input video from webcam in Linux. I have compiled vlc with option -enable-v4l. But I cannot see the difference from the interface. I can find the libv4l.a file in my /lib/vlc. But I cannot find the option to input video from webcam in the Linux interface, like dshow in Windo...

Thank you for your response. Do you mean that I should do 2 things to make the capture device avaliable. One is compile the vlc with -enable-v4l. Another is make the kernel support v4l? Can you please tell me how to make the kernel support v4l? what step should I take to make the kernel support v4l?...

First of all, thank you for your response! I checked my control pannel, in the sound recording's device, it is "VIA's AC97 wave", which is the name of my compositived sound card. In the recording control, the mic is selected. I tried the recording using "Sound Recorder" of Window...

Hi all, First of all, thank you for reading my message. I am using VLC 0.7.2 under Windows. I have a headphone with microphone on it. It works well when I use "Sound Recorder" to try. I hope to use VLC to input the audio from my microphone, and multicast it to other machines. I choose the ...

Hi all, I am using VLC 0.7.2 in my windows and Linux and it's cool. I can even use it to capture video from webcam and multicast it out, it's really a greate work. Now I wonder to know how can I input audio from microphone? I tried with choosing "Open Capture Device", and in the "Audi...

VLC is really a good thing, I tried to stream video in mpv1,2,4 and mwv1,2 and it works all good. I want to try to transcode the video into H.263 stream and play it, but it doesn't work in my computer. I am using VLC 0.7.1 under winXP. Do I need to do some settings to stream video in H.263 format? T...

Hi, all I am using VLC 0.7.1 under Linux. It is not redhat, so I didnot install the RPM version, but install with the source. Now I have some problem in receiving the mpeg4 video stream. I use another VLC in windows to stream out the video, when using the mp2v format, it works good, the VLC in linux...

It works OK from C to A, but failed from A to C.
In other words, the version I compiled myself has problem to get streaming from other machines in some file format, such as MPEG4 video file. What can I do for it? Thanks

I found that the warning infomation above is always reported whether it can stream well or not. The following infomation is different between good stream and bad: when good, there is a line: libmpeg2 debug: 350*240, aspect 563200,29.971fps but when stream video file failed, it shows this instead: mp...

I have 3 machine, A is Windows using vlc0.7.1, B is Linux RedHat9.0 using vlc 0.7.0 the rpm version, and C is another Linux using vlc 0.7.1 compiled-self version. The VLC runs good in windows version and rpm version, it can playing, unicast and multicast mpg, avi, divx video files well. But in machi...

I want to stream out a video file with command line I tried this command line under windows and it works well vlc /tmp/ted/a.avi :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.20.30.40:1234}} but when I type the same thing under Linux, it doesn't work How should I type the command under Linux to...

I am in windows using vlc 0.7.1.
when playing mpeg file, everything goes well
but when I play a divx file, the video screen became wobble and shake
why does this happen?
Can I do something to solve this problem?
Thank you:)

haha, I just realized we are in the same country, Mr. wang.
If it is not easy to develop with vc, I think I will choose to just use it instead of embed it. I am a student, and this is just a project for school:)

Thank you ! i am using the VCL under RedHat 9.0 Can I change some Configure file to avoid this happened? I am just don't want to let the screen be green for a little time and then turn right, must I modify the source code? ( In the text it says the first frame is not key frame) why I use it in Windo...

I am doing a virtual classroom project too. and I also want to know how to develop it with vlc. I think we can communicate our ideas about it:)
my email is tiantao0502@tom.com

when streaming, If the first frame is not keyframe, the first frame on the client will be seen as a green screen, and become normal after a few seconds. How can I avoid this happen. Can the client wait for the first keyframe and then display it? Dose it have an option to do this?
Thank you!

hi friend,
Glad to meet you. I am a student too, and now doing a "vitual classroom" project.
May be we can communicate some idea of it:)
