The VideoLAN Forums

Nevermind. If anybody else wants the solution, I just created a new Task, and in the "Run:" field, I put: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://[the stream I want to record] :sout=#transcode{acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="[t...

I want to create a script to run an instance of VLC to start Transcode / Save to File for a specific stream. I'm planning to use the Windows Task Scheduler to start it at the appropriate time. One thing I need to do to start is: how can I see what the command-line entry for all the choices would be ...

i've been having problems playing .avi XVID files in Fedora 7 when logged into Gnome or KDE while NOT using XGL. With Gnome+XGL or KDE+XGL, it looks fine, but without XGL, it "skips" or "jolts" around in the viewer (difficult to describe). In discovering a work-around, I have run...

Well the last URL in that asx file is:

mms://77.67.126.95:80/wm.npr.na-central/npr/atc/2007/07/20070718_atc_16.wma?v1st=&mt=1&primaryTopic=1032&assignedTopics=1090,1001,1003,1032&MSWMExt=.asf

and that doesn't play.

I can't get this to play: http://www.npr.org/templates/dmg/dmg_em.php?id=12067223&type=1&date=18-Jul-2007&au=1&pid=44746161&random=3260253531&guid=0007DD217382069F1ECCEEEC61626364&upf=Win32&mtype=WM&ssid=&topicName=Books&subtopicName=Books&prgCode=ATC&...

In fedora 7, I have a problem when I try to play either of these two streams: http://www.cpr.org/listen/live_classical_aac.pls http://www.cpr.org/listen/live_newsinfo_aac.pls They stream will play for a split-second, then stop... the VERY FIRST time I played the first stream, it played, but then the...

OK, I've done some things to try to correct this: I removed vlc completely, then tried to reinstall it using yum. It installs the livna repo every time. So, I tried removing it completely again and I DL'd the FreshRPMs rpm file and ran it. It worked, but the problem is that it is only 0.8.5a. So, wh...

I tried that and the problem still happens.

Oh i cleared cache in the .vlc folder under my home dir. I didn't know there was a ~/.vlc cache folder. I will try that tonight.

I've used VLC media player successfully for weeks now, and all of a sudden, it will play sound from a video file but not the video itself. I have tried several video files, even ones which VLC played just the other day. The only change I've made in that time is to create a new user, log in as that u...

How do I use time-shifting and dump files readed? is that CLI-only?

***EDIT*** I guess I should also ask: what do those terms mean?

This feature is available in Real Player, and is called PerfectPlay. Basically, when you view/listen to streaming media, it automatically records the last 3 hrs (approx) to a file, which helps with skipping and also to quickly review. A major problem with that feature, however, is that once you end ...

Nevermind, I understand those instructions now. I was looking in the preferences, when all I needed to do was look at the individual prefs for that particular media file. Thanks, I'll just do that for all of my .mov files, I don't have very many.

So, I'm guessing that the "jpeg" under the Codec section in the Advanced tab I posted is the same as MJPEG?

Thanks, but I still don't actually understand how to follow those instructions, let alone whether it will help or not. Would you perhaps be able to clarify on those instructions I posted? Thanks for the info, too, it's good to know I can easily pull a frame if I wanted.

I read this on another post: on Windows open .mov file with vlc 0.8.5 Check ‘Stream Output’ select output file name with .mp4 extension b. Check MP4 for Encapsulation Method c. Check Video Codec, choose mp4v in drop-down, choose Bitrate 1024, Scale 1* my files were from my digital camera (jpeg codec...

I have .MOV files that I copied from my digital camera. Since I despise QuickTime, I would like to play them in VLC, but only the audio is playing. I searched through the forum here, and while I didn't exactly find a solution to the problem, I know that to solve it, somebody out there needs the &quo...
