The VideoLAN Forums

Dear Forum, I am trying to get VLC to show uncorrupted display when "scrubbing" H.264 videos where scrubbing referring to moving the progress slider bar with the mouse. The video encoder types of most interest are Mp2 and H.264. Performance on the Mp2 files available to test with seems goo...

Worked fine except there was virtually no delay introduced. For test I am using a video with a clock on it - they are basically showing the same time.

Dear Forum, I am receiving video via UDP and outputting it via Mms. Higher CPU usage or other factors can cause jitter in the video ouput display. I am attempting to add an additional second or two of buffering time to correct this, and I assume on the input is the best place to do this. I need to d...

All, I have struggled with this problem for some time and have yet to find a cure... I am sending an Mms stream to Windows MediaElement. This works great when an audio es is included in the video stream. When it is video only however MediaElement will not display the video. This has been perplexing ...

Hi Forum, I am having an issue with Mms stream receipt with VLC. I am able to receive a stream when I set it up via the GUI, but I cant get VLC to accept this input from the command line. From the gui the URL I use is: mmsh://IP:Port, such as mmsh://172.33.2.22:8080. Since VLC can accept an Mms stre...

Can do.... my fix was sort of a hard wire job however - I will take another look and if that is the best I can do I will just comment accordingly...

Dear Forum, I had an application where I needed to restream a mpeg received via UDP and transmit this on anotherr UDP out. Seems to work well with the video, audio as well as the cc which is part of the video elementry stream... KLV is also of interest however and seems to be getting compromised... ...

Dear Forum, Well I have asked for help quite a few times so I thought I should sure post a solution to a problem I believe I have found which may be helpful to others. I have been sending streams from VLC using the Mms protocol to Microsoft Silverlight MediaElement. One key difference between what I...

Ok - heres a good one... I was having persistent problems with excessive CPU utilization (~50%) by a Windows7 process "dllhost.exe". Postings I found on the web were numerous but none seemed to present a legitamate resolution... I kept killing the process but it kept returning and then kic...

Thank you - the feed back is very helpful.

Gentlemen, thank you for your responses... I just want to make sure I understand correctly... 1) If I specify audio output in a stream to stream transcode but no audio is present on the input, an audio stream, though presumably empty, will not be created? 2) Secondly if there is audio content and I ...

Dear Forum, I have struggled long and mightily to get Microsoft Media Element to consistently accept an MMS stream containing transcoded .wmv content. The goal has been to have VLC accept a "real-time" input stream (e.g. Udp), transcode it to "wmv" format, and restream it via Mms...

Thank you for the quick reply... It this due to the fact that there hasnt been a demand for this or is there a legal issue?

Dear Forum,

I am interested in being able to extract closed captioning information. In looking into it, I see I can add closed captioning from a file, but can I extract closed captioning and save it to file?

Thx,

S

Thx for the suggestion - just tried it but no luck. I believe I will try a few older version because it did seem to work at some point, just havent always been careful about which version I was using. That could get me to the right ver of VLC or LibAccess_Mms.dll plugin. Certainly appears this is a ...

Dear Forum, I have tried exhaustively to get mms streaming to work consistently and have not had luck. A few times the display worked immediately, but usually it either takes about 1 minute or fails. Appears this problem has been encountered before, but not sure if a fix was implemented.... Based on...

..... so are you saying that the transcode should operate at a much faster rate on a fast processor, or is the transcode tied to real time or some multiple of it? I tried the transcoder on on an extremely fast server on which several weeks ago I had run run 6 Mp2 stream to Mp4 file simultaneous conv...

Dear Forum, I am transcoding from and to a file from the command line and using the "-I dummy" parameter to have it run without the GUI. I would like these transcodes to go as quickly as possible. I found the "--rate" parameter, but using a rate specification of 4.0 does not seem...

Hi Forum, I am transcoding files; i.e. the input and the output to VLC are both files. Within the GUI I see I can speed up that processing to as high as 4x. My questions are: 1) Is 4x as fast as I can specify the transcode rate within the GUI? 2) What is the fastest I can specify the transcode rate ...

Didnt think that was it, but was quick and so worth a try. Upgraded both ends to: VLC media player 1.3.0-git-20120105-0009 Rincewind Still had 1min+ delay. Think its some funky network/protocol/handshaking type issue... Update: Corrected a network issue - now media player on client side is virtually...

Humm.... at least one of the versions I used is 1.3 identifying itself as follows: "VLC media player 1.3.0-git-20111205-0004 Rincewind"

Believe other machine that also had problem was running the 1.1.11 available from the VideoLan main web page.

Hi Forum, I have had a few quirky issues with streaming of a video file converted to .wmv and streamed via mms. In this particular issue I am able to set up the streaming properly, but some times the receiving VLC can take a minute or two to start to display the network stream, and when it does ther...

Hi Forum, My apologies, but I am not completely clear on what the available buttons do for posting a topic... For example I do use the " URL " button and have used it to post images, but what do the "Quote", "Code", "List", "List=" etc do? I assume t...

OBE - DESIRED FUNCTIONALITY ESTABLISH - CAN DISREGARD. Dear Forum, I am streaming files with VLC by converting them to .wmv format and streaming them with mms. Streaming of some files works great and seem able to run indefinitely. Other files are having an issue and VLC crashes. I have had success ...

Hi Mr. Kempf, Thank you for looking at my posts... making progress! :-) Below is a .jpg showing the sizes of the vlc exe and dlls in both the debug and non-debug builds - the debug files are all quite a bit larger than their counter parts. http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/32/vlcbinaries.jpg Sooooo...
