In one of the more recent updates (not sure which since I haven't updated in while) VLC seems to have gained a feature which pauses or mutes iTunes when playback in VLC begins. This would be fine, except a lot of the time I open VLC just to quickly check video files, or to transcode video, and in bo...

Okay, so I mostly use VLC for transcoding files into .mp4 with H.264 video and AAC audio. Since I've been completely unable to get v2.0.0 or later to work with AAC audio I've given up and gone back to v1.1.12 for good, however switching back and forth seems to have ruined my previous v1.1.12 setting...

Ever since the update to v2.0 I have never been able to get mp4a audio to work when transcoding, except for a brief period when setting ffmpeg strictness to -2 seemed to work, but every update seems to break it again. All I really use VLC for is transcoding .mkv files to .mp4 with H.264 video and AA...

I'm having this exact same problem; I have never been able to transcode to mp4a without some kind of difficulty since the update to v2 (this is why I still have v1.1.12, but it has compatibility issues of its own). I've managed to get it to work sometimes by going into VLC's preferences, choosing sh...

Okay, so I mostly use VLC for transcoding files, and it will normally use all cores of my machine. Now this is fine most of the time, but it interferes with running some programs while VLC transcodes in the background. Since I don't normally need VLC to work as fast as possible, I'm happy for it to ...

I've been having the same problem since H.264 was (finally) fixed after being broken by v2.0.1. The only workaround really is to copy the file once you've finished transcoding, then close VLC and trash the original transcoded file (which will have been truncated). e.g - if you save the new file as M...

I'm having this problem as well, except I'm trying to transcode a .wmv into a .mp4 using h264 video and mp4a audio. As far as I can tell the audio isn't being written at all, and something is messing up the video (it won't play in Quicktime, even though the settings are exactly as I've used in the p...

Hi there! Sorry for the half-decade necro bump, but I'm curious if this, or any other Automator action effort, has seen any continued development? I'd love to see a full-blown "Transcode Video" Automator action, with many of the options similar to the transcode wizard (output video codec, ...

Hmm, well I seem to have managed to encode the video through Handbrake, thanks for the idea! Still baffles me though, as I tried .mp4 through VLC to no avail, but in Handbrake it worked without any apparent issue. I've no particular preference for .mov, it's just what I tend to use because Quicktime...

I've been transcoding a lot of .wmv files (Windows Media Video and Audio 9) into .mov files (h.264 and mp4a), without any incident so far. However, I have one file that seems to cause VLC to stall right at the end; the file appears finished (it's the size I would expect, about 150mb) but VLC is stil...

Hi there, I have a bunch of files imported from MakeMKV (so MPEG-1/2 video) that don't work in Quicktime, but work fine in VLC. This in itself isn't a big deal, as MPEG-1/2 is far too large to keep anyway as it's ~800mb for a 22 minute video. Anyway, I want to convert these H.264 .mov files, however...
