> However the file Index.vdr is in a as far as i know proprietary format. Its still open source... The format is very simple. The whole file is an array of struct tIndex { int offset; uchar type; uchar number; short reserved; } ... where offset is the byte offset of a frame within xxx.vdr, type is ...

Assuming you've set up a build environment and have the needed unix/cygwin tools installed, the usual build steps look like this: tar xjf vlc-0.8.4.tar.bz2 cd vlc-0.8.4 patch -p1 < ../croppadd-2-vlc-0.8.4.diff ... and now continue as the source code build instructions suggest, eg. call bootstrap, co...

I wrote a patch thats supposed to do exactly that for me, re-scale and padd any stream to PAL 720x576 format, using the --sout interface. You can get it here:

We're talking about cropping with --sout "#transcode{....,croptop=50,cropbottom=50,...}" , right? This is broken for some time now, I think since 0.8.1 or earlier. A fix is postponed until some filter rework is done for 0.8.5. You can download my patch for cropping and some more format mag...

Cropping on streams is broken for some time now. Its *supposed* to work something like this, at least for VOD sources: new test vod setup test input "some source video" setup test output #transcode{vcodec=mpgv,vb=3000,acodec=mpga,ab=192,croptop=50,cropbottom=50} setup test enabled However,...

RTSP seeking seems to be broken in 0.8.4. I've done a test like this: vlc --extraintf telnet --vlm-conf vlm.conf --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 and vlm.conf: new test vod setup test input "g:\video\out.mpg" setup test enabled I've used this with 0.8.2 and 0.8.4 as client and as server, and these...

Ok, time to clarify some of the mess. This is no 'broken hardware' issue. VDR stores the video in very simple mpeg PES streams, just as they are transmitted in DVB, after TS demuxing. Typical recordings contain one video and one or more audio streams in mpv/mpa/ac3 ES streams, and are separated by t...

<push-up> I've taken a look into the source codes. Inside modules/stream_out/transcode.c, the crop values get passed through to libavcodec, apparently unchecked: img_resample_full_init( id->f_dst.video.i_width, id->f_dst.video.i_height, id->ff_dec_c->width, id->ff_dec_c->height, p_stream->p_sys->i_c...

Hi. My problem is: I want to stream video to a PC that redirects the stream to a technotrend DVB card for output. These cards only accept video in certain resolutions, eg. 720x576 for PAL. I've got it working with transcoding and UDP streaming, but only if the source video has a matching resolution....
