Thank you for you reply Lotesdelere.

I did some more research and when I examine the output of WeatherWind it seems the FPS is 60. So I forced the FPS to the same as the input (23.976) and when the movie converts it's size is almost identical to the good RiceWind transcode. When I play it, the first 6 or 7 seconds are perfect but then ...

Hi, I've been using Ricewind to convert my videos to MPEG2. Recently I upgraded to WeatherWax since it says there are some important security fixes. Unfortunately the output of Weatherwax is much worse than in RiceWind. My Source video is here: http://www.tvmediashare.com/ESW/Files/Grimm_Pilot.avi i...

Sorry for the long delay in a reply Jean-Baptiste, I had no power due to hurricane Sandy.

Would you like me to create a new issue for the a52 transcode crash with -vvv debug for it? Or would you like me to report it as a bug?

Thank you, I can confirm that that flag works fine. Unfortunately the command line I posted above crashes VLC once the flag is used but I'm pretty sure the problem is the same as this one: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=105229 the a52 codec seems to have the same problem as the m...

Thanks for the reply, Jean-Baptiste as requested, here is the output from -vvv, I hope this helps :D !

I seem to be unable to transcode any media into MPEG2 using VLC 2.0.4. This command line worked on previous versions of VLC. Now I get the error: [mpeg2video @ 0177ab80] a vbv buffer size is needed, for encoding with a maximum bitrate [034578f0] avcodec encoder error: cannot open encoder [034578f0] ...

(Response to BKS) I got this exact error when compiling on 11.04 as well. Oh, and you say that you've had no experience compiling...to get just this far you've done extremely well.... I make living programming both for Windows and Linux and ran into the same problem you had so don't feel bad. I noti...

Hi! A quick question.....any ideas when VLC Ver 2.1.0 will be released? (I'm waiting for a bug fix that is fixed in Ver 2.1.0)

Awesome. Thank you very much.

I wanted to let you know that I recently made a rather large (for me anyway) donation to the project in the hope of increasing the priority on the resolution of this issue. Since the product is free you programmers deserve some reward.

The content on your Directv DVR is encrypted and I doubt that Videolan will ever write something that removes the encryption from your media. The truth is, even though the media is on your DVR you still don't own it. There is a program called Directv2PC from Directv that allows you to view your DVR ...

I didn't pass any options to VLC. I just opened the GUI and used the 'open network stream' from the 'Media' menu:

in the text box, I typed:

http://user:pass@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/mjpeg.cgi

here is the log...I have obscured the usernames/passwords and inet addresses also since I kept getting the error 'your message contains too many URL's I had to replace the URLS's with the text 'URL' qt4 warning: Input option: http-caching=1200 main debug: adding item `URL' ( http://user:pw@xxx.xxx.x...

After some research and much hair pulling in version 1.1.11 I have found that mp2a created mpeg audio version 1 layer 2 and mpga creates mpeg audio version 1 layer 3.

I have a DLink DCS-932L Camera. It provides an MJPEG stream over HTTP. When I attempt to open the camera using VLC I use the following syntax in the 'open network stream' box: http://user:pass@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/mjpeg.cgi VLC successfully connects to the camera but when the data starts to stream VLC...

Report filed.

Ticket #6227 (for those who might want to check up on it and/or add more information)

I only have the capability to test on the windows platform. If anyone else can try this on other platforms and update the ticket that would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Wow, that's confusing.

I will file a report. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the clarification. I need layer 2, mp2a...however I get the error I described above whenever I attempt to transcode to mp2a. It doesn't matter what type of source file I use. should I not be using 'acodec=mp2a' in the transcode command line? The 'acodec=mp2a' worked fine in version 1.1...

Thanks for the prompt response.

For a while I've been using VLC 1.1.11 to transcode videos to MPEG2.
