Everyone claims the mac is safer but realisticly isn't it less safe because most people on a mac are not as cautious as pc users. Early on, Mac OS 9 suffered greatly from viral infections. This was due to some of the same sort of things that seem to plague the Windows world, where 'objects' could '...

Not with VLC!

Would you have any idea what Open Source solutions there may be out ther for such a need...

Thanks, Mahalo, etc...

You may want to take a look at this to see if it's helpful for you: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=35987 Considering you are not supposed to know how your system works and these files are hidden by the operating system, I hesitate to describe this any better for security reasons. But Clo...

Ok... let me make that a bit clarer... multiple 'single stream mpeg-4' Cameras being 'muxed' onto a single Mpeg2 TS via VLC...

Is that 'doable'...

Is there a way in VLC to receive mpeg-4 streams, from the ever popular Internet Cameras, then transcode that into a single Mpeg-2 Transport Stream with appropriate program identifiers.

Thanks,
John Clark.

Hi all, I want to stream some content from my DVB-T card, transcoding it previously to either MPEG and/or OGG (vorbis&theora). When I play the content locally in the computer where I have my DVB-T card installed, I can watch and hear everything properly, although I receive several warnings (I'v...

No. You will however an error message in the log when VLC tries to autosave the configuration at exit. And of course some specific stuff won't work, such as the file output, and the timeshift, record and dump filters. I believe my needs are 1) play locally stored 'canned' media, or stream from an e...

Basically is there any requirement for using a writable disk, temporary files, etc which would prevent use in a totally 'rom' based application.

Thanks.

i went to preferences in my dvd player and switched everything off so that it doesn't start but it still detects it and because the region code is stuck on 1, most of my dvds are 2 or 0 and immediately says to reject...i force quite and ahve vlc on but it just doesnt open them up in there either - ...

Perhaps you have done this already, disable the automatic startup of the standard Apple DVD widget, so only VLC is the program to access the DVDs.

Hi, I read around the net that it was possible to play region 1 dvd's on macs through vlc. I have switched the regions a few times and watched various regions on the supplied region player - i'm on my last switch though, so don't want to use it. When I try to run the dvd it gives me and error, sayi...

I have a ATSC encoder card which has an application that uses 'TRP' formated files to stream data.

I need to generate known video data, and need to know how to generate a TRP formated file, and in particular what VLC sout options are required to generate said file format...


Thanks

Apparently VLC worked as region free before, but not anymore with the most recent Intel's Macbook and Macbook pro. Does anybody have a solution for watching region 1 and 2 dvd on an intel macbook without locking the drive in a specific region. Any help ? Unfortunately I don't have an Intel based ma...

Hi, I just updated my VLC to 0.8.6 on my Powerbook G4 (10.4.8) and i get the "leaking" issue only on certain DVDs. For example in a box set it works on seasons 4 & 5... Seasons 1 & 2 I get the message... I tried ignoring it but the video is all jerky and eventually crashes VLC. BT...

How can a web site that is making wild claims about a product that isn't theirs serve to help VLC? Considering the lack of honesty here, why should anyone believe the promises now? In essence I agree with The DJ, with a public apology and an immediate change in the website if any trust or collabora...

Don't think I have ever seen an exhibit that's open 24/7. Must be quite the extravaganza. How do you plan to stay awake for 7 days to know it worked :P or do you figure you can sleep but it can't and if it's not running when you wake up it stopped on it's own? Better put a security camera on it the...

I've been working to get an 'internet' camera setup and have the resulting video stream distributed. The net environment consists of a 'media source side', a 'link' and a 'media distribution side'. The camera can produce several types of streams, and further, can multicast an Mpeg-4 stream. In addit...

I have a need to have a version of vlc which has no need to have a gui, display the live video, etc. but I do have a need to stream or transcode video from one place to another. Is there a description somewhere which describes how to build a minimal, no graphics, etc. version of vlc to do this. On t...

The one detail i'm fuzzy about is what all this commotion about SDP files is. They are meant so the decoder can decode the MPEG4 data, i originally thought all that info would be in the MPEG4 header, and some RFC's indicate decode info can be sent "in-band", however with the limited info ...

While someone may have had better luck with the Sony SNC-RZ25N, I have not. The listing of 'mpeg4' is pretty deceiving, in that it really is not well documented, and does not provide corresponding SDP info to have 'any' player accept the stream, other than Sony's supplied widgets. The 'Developer' do...

I have noted some inconsistencies here. You stated that the output was raw mp4 data. If I remember correctly this is .cmp (.m4v or .mp4v = raw mp4) where as MJPEG is different. The Sony information, and 'support' is very limited on details of their mpeg-4 implementation, other than explicit stateme...

I don't know if it is the same problem i don't recognize similar warnings, but i have the bad suspicion that the stream isn't only raw data but also extra data that activex controls of ie that is provided with cam software recognizes and uses, such us the current settings of the camera. Is there an...

There have been a few users that have been having problems with MJPEG in a MP4 container in 0.8.5 but not in 0.8.4 The source of the problem is unknown. I've tried 0.8.2, 0.8.4, 0.8.4a and 0.8.5, all fail with the Sony SNC-RZ26N (and presumably the -P version as well...). The following is the messa...

Hi, I have a SONY SNCRZ25 IP Camera which i am trying to get working with VLC. The camera comes with an OCX for viewing which works fine, however i need to get access to the MPEG-4 stream for recording purposes. The camera supports both MJPEG and MPEG-4, and supports this over HTTP, RTP(UDP) Unicas...
