Sorry for the delay. I've done some more rigorous testing and found the following: Nothing Attached Select "FaceTime HD Camera" MRL is filled with: avcapture://DJH5264QGJUG1HPAW lags and freezes often, but comes up as expected. Attach a Depstech USB camera Restart VLC options are now "...

I have also always had issues with capture devices or USB cams on VLC for mac os. It's never worked for me, for many years/versions of VLC or Mac OS The first issue is that when there are multiple video sources available, the names do not match with what is displayed (selecting Facetime Camera will ...

I thought I would check back in again on this issue, as there was a Blackmagic SDK update. I recompiled everything (vlc, x264, ffmpeg) but I am still getting the same error. It is the combination of capturing from the decklink card and encoding with x264 that gives me the error. Capturing from deckl...

Actually, the Blackmagic capture card does have a hardware up-down-cross converter for changing the resolution, but I don't think that feature is implemented in the VLC port.

I'm not sure exactly what to look for, but one thing I have monitored is the RAM usage and I'm never get...

My install was using the ubuntu version of ffmpeg, so I spent the last few days getting and building the latest stable releases of x264 and ffmpeg. Getting them to work when building vlc was a puzzle, but if anyone else wants to do the same thing, here is what I did: Followed this guide but added &q...

Streaming an hour+ long movie completed without any errors. So I thought the problem was with the blackmagic input. To confirm, I tried setting up a FLV stream using the FLV1 codec with the blackmagic card as the input, but that went fine. So the problem seems to be with the combination of the black...

My setup: Xubuntu 12.04 running VLC 2.0.1 compiled with Blackmagic Decklink support (v9.5). The blackmagic capturing end appears to be working fine as I can see and capture video. I am taking the input and transcoding it to H264 and AAC and then duplicating the output to create both a HLS stream for...
