Thanks for that hint. This should work, if I can change the text to be displayed during encoding. I will give it a try. Again I find out that vlc is a very powerful tool with a lot of functions. The problem is, that not all of them are documented. I were neither lucky at the online-manuals nor at th...
Hi everyone, I would like to do streaming of live feed from a webcam. During the streaming I would like to encode additional information into the stream, like generating dynamic subtitles or a moving logo. At the moment I think of some kind of gameshow where I would like to display the points gained...
Thanks for taking your time to prepare that How-To. Couldn't it be included into the sources doc folder? Vlc is a very powerful tool but from what I see here in the forum a lot of beginners don't really know how to start streaming. As you even included how to successfully stream to a wmp-client (a c...
I got around 15% processor load on a AthlonXP 2600+. I don't believe, that my PC is too slow but that there is some bug. I should at least receive any frame. At the moment all the frames except of the first are dropped.
Hi everybody, I tried the frame rate selection in vlc 0.8.0-test1, which does not work for me. Only the first frame of the stream is shown. The sound works though. vlc --sout-transcode-fps 15 --sout='#transcode{vcodec=WMV1,vb=400,width=320,height=240}:duplicate{dst=display}' m*.avi -vvv Here is the ...
Thank you for your quick response. I missed the commandline help, as I combined -H an --help with --advanced. At the graphical interface I don't get any preferences entry. Having compiled vlc from source under SuSE 8.2 I just have "add interface" in the "settings" menu.
I would like to try the "Frame rate selection in the transcoder" option announced in the changelog in order to decrease the necessary bandwidth. I couldn't find a hint, on how to change the framerate. I would like to include a reduction of the framerate down to 15 fps (from 25) into the fo...
1) Place dvd in server 2) Start vlc on server with "vlc -I dummy --extraintf http" 2.1) if you want to bind vlc to a specific host or port use "--http-host host:port" 3) Open your favorite webbrowser on the iBook client 4) Load vlc http interface from browser with "http://<I...
Try compiling ffmpeg first. Grab the ffmpeg Tarball http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.7.1/contrib/ffmpeg-20040222.tar.bz2 unpack it to /home/your_home/ffmpeg and compile it with: ./configure --enable-pp && make then unpack vlc in a different directory and compile it: ./configur...
As far as I know, there is no way to use vlc to change the frames per second. Mencoder (part of MPlayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu) can change the frames per seconds but it cannot work during streaming I suppose. Instead you need to transcode a file with Mencoder and then stream this transcoded file wi...

vlc -vvv http://127.0.0.1:23/229 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=64,scale=0.5,acodec=mpa,ab=16,channels=1}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:1234}' I believe it should be acodec=mpga . That should help on the sound issue. If the bitrate is still too high for streaming over the internet, try scaling t...
I've got a similar problem. Though I compiled ffmpeg with --enable-mp3lame and vlc with --with--ffmpeg-mp3lame I cannot stream video streams with mp3 audio. vlc -vvv complains: ffmpeg encoder error: cannot find encoder MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 The precompiled binary for windows works though. What am I...
