Thanks... but could we have at least a rough idea of the difference between the three?

When transcoding with ffmpeg, I see that there is an option "hq" that can take the values: simple, rd or bits .

My question is simple: Which one will give the best results? There seems to be no documentation on this, but for listing the possible values.

Thanks

Agreed, it looks just weird that this is not there...

Hi,

Is there a way to encode a file and mux it with mkv (Matroska)? Is there any plans to support that in the future?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there a way to join two TS files (knowing they have the same technical specs - reso, bitrate, codecs, etc...)?

Appreciated

I realize I didn't even specify a mux ;-) Thanks for your answer. Muxing in TS works fine. As for the extra video stream, the original file has only one, so I guess it is a vlc bug. Since it could not fit the audio stream in there it made a dummy video stream... or something ;) Thanks anyways for th...

I have an MPEG-TS movie (MPEG2, AC3) and am trying to convert it to H264/AC3 (to save space). I tried to convert it to H264 the following way: "vlc" -vvv "movie.ts" :sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=4000,scale=1}:standard{access=file,url=test.mp4}" vlc:quit with limited ...

Look at the RC interface (help in the interface gives out options)

Anyone has any hints? How complex is this? Is there any chance we'll see any dev looking into this?

Just because I am curious, what is JACK ?

In order to receive help, you have to give symptoms. "However it didn't work" is hardly enough information for people to figure out what is wrong...

Can you tell us a bit more?

I don't think WMP can get minimized to tray. WMP can get minimized to the taskbar (normal), and its button on the task bar becomes a mini remote control (play pause ffw, etc). I don't find it very useful, but that just might be because I don't like WMP ;). The idea is that the button is wasted real ...

The obvious

Instead of starting "vlc --options" start : That's if your on unix/bash, but the same can be done for DOS in a batch file:

I have been trying to dig in the code for this, but I can't find a way to do it. The fullscreen switch does set the p_vout->i_changes |= VOUT_FULLSCREEN_CHANGE but there doesn't seem to be a way to resize a generic vout object. I can send a VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE, but then how to pass on parameters about ...

Thanks for the help.

Ok, it turns out this feature is already implemented (by zorglub on 09/01/04 22:02:17). It is called "get_time" and is not documented. In the same commit, other feats were implemented: "is_playing", "get_title", "get_time" and "get_length" Question t...

It's coming, but patience will unfortunately be needed.

Watch for pieroxy

Thanks On the features page, I see that: 1. DVB is supported on Linux 2. Capture card w/ hardware Enc on Linux and Windows 3. Capture card w/o hardware Enc on Linux and Windows Is there any plan to extend these? I am mostly interested by Win/Linux and would like to see a DVB support for both... Is t...

Hi,

Does VLC supports streaming (or straight reading) of TV cards/Webcams? I am specifically thinking about DVB, Analog with HW encoding, Analog w/o HW encoding and USB devices.

Thanks for the information

I have been running 4 speaker mode and have NOT noticed lack of bass. This does not mean that the LFE channel is mixed with others. It just means that you are listening to something where the LFE channel carries little if any signal. You see, the LFE channel does not carry all bass frequencies. Bas...

Hi, I am trying to write a program that will control VLC through the RC interface. One problem I am having is that I can't get a precise position from the stream currently playing. The --rc-show-pos option provides one with a rather vague "pos: 30%". And it is not clear when this info is d...

Hi, Thanks for the excellent product that VLC is already! Is it possible to add a few commands to the RC interface to be able to move/resize the Video windows (when not in fullscreen mode)? I know it doesn't makes much sense if a person is sending command, but to remotely control VLC from another pr...

Note: The --rc-show-pos can give infos on the position in terms of percentage... That is not great, but is definitely some start.

I will try a post in the 'features requests' section see how it goes

After a bit of work, I found out that a bunch of stuff is already there: 1. Start/Stop/Open a file 2. Fast Forward (and back), skip, pause, stop 3. Switch to full screen, switch to window mode 4. Get infos on what is playing (infos in the "Stream & Media Info") 5. I've had trouble with...

Hi, I was looking for an interface to remotely control VLC from another process (telnet is good), that would allow me to: 1. Start/Stop/Open a file 2. Fast Forward (and back), skip, pause, stop 3. Switch to full screen, switch to window mode (without window decoration is best), resize and move the w...
