The VideoLAN Forums

Just found it on the bug tracker. It has been known for at least one year.

Interesting! We have been having some major mcasting problems here, and wireshark also shows TTL=1 regardless of what I set it to on the GUI with the latest version of VLC. Can anyone confirm this is a problem?

This is probably not a Windows-specific question, so I am posting it here. I cannot get VLC to play any .cue and/or .bin files made using the "render" option of the Reaper DAW software. ISOBuster can extract the wav files just fine from each track, but VLC 1.0.2 crashes every time it tries...

Atmo, Thanks for the reply. My understanding of the MS directshow filters is that there are two - a DV decoder which only decodes video, and a DV demuxer which splits video and audio. At least that is the case using MS ConferenceXP and the Windows Media Player classic. I don't know if the DV decodin...

It appears that whenever using a DV camera as the video input device, but selecting another audio input device (like the computer's soundcard or a USB microphone), VLC will always override the audio input source section and use the audio from the DV camera instead. Since DV cameras generally have po...

I have been trying to time DV capture to the length of the recording - stop time doesn't work on my XP machine either... CG i'm confused by this as well..... i've used the --stop-time option and it works perfectly at work on my win2k machine but doesn't work at all on my home xp machine...both runni...

Got it - it is supposed to be "mmsh://", not "mms://". Whooops...

Hopes this helps someone...

Managed to use VLC as a streaming server, connected to the output of Windows Media Encoder 9. Windows Media Player 9 or 10 (Windows, not Mac) opens the stream and plays quite well. However, VLC does not - it just hangs there showing "mms://ip:1234" at the bottom of the screen, and doesn't ...

I do hope you were writing "tongue-in-cheek". It is certainly not my intention to jeopardize VLC or anything/anyone else, for that matter. One can easily use the (free) Windows Media Encoder and the (free) Windows Media Services from Windows 2003 server and get around that problem. We are ...

OK - but if that is the case, then would you mind commenting on the following at the "mighty" Microsoft website - specially items 2.1 and 2.2. I know this is supposed to apply to WMP encoding with the WMEncoder, but nevertheless... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/licensing/mp...

And a follow up - tested VLC for over 6 hours with the GUI, without using the command line. Tried several configurations for streaming - most of them, VLC could receive and WMP could not. No big news here. There was however one setup which WMP could receive, but VLC could not. Interesting! Also look...

From what I heard back from BigVideo, MPEG1 is possible to use without a license (but obviously is not the best solution). I would assume on the audio front that Ogg Vorbis should be OK? From what I can tell, even MP3 can be a problem??? AFAIK that doesn't exist. (by "that" i mean somethin...

Maybe there is one thing you could help me out with here. I just read a new post on the BigVideo Internet2 forum regarding MPEG and VLC - i.e., in order to stream it, one needs a license from the mpegla people. Searched here on the forum, found virtually nothing about it. We would like to experiment...

I do agree that VLC is a remarkable, unique program - and also agree with most of your comments. It is the nature of the beast, as it were, that VLC is a remarkably complex program as well. I have no doubt that many, many people have developed successful deployments of VLC in many environments and f...

I do believe I understand the issues at hand fairly well. I use many other open source/freeware programs, and do try to help out when I am able to on the forums of the programs I am familiar with. Most of my knowledge about programs generally come from forums where other users discuss what they do, ...

FWIW, and with *all* due respect - I think your post here is a bit gratuitous and somewhat shortsighted. I can only use myself as an example, but I do know several other people working with Internet2 in academic institutions here in the USA that would certainly not agree with you, and who, although ...
