mencoder. Here is what I was doing to assemble (initial) tests. I've been tweaking with way more options then I know what they do: #!/bin/bash FILETITLE="$1" #mencoder -vf pp=ac,framestep=2,filmdint=dint_thres=256,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=$2:threads=auto:pass=1:turbo=2:framer...

As i'm sure specs will be asked for the machine i'm doing this on:

Thinkpad r50p
*Pentium-m 1700mhz
*1gb ram
*ATI FireGL T2 128 MB (fglrx drivers)

Ubuntu 7.04 with latest updates for all software. (VLC 0.8.6a)

I've been experimenting with transcoding my high definition TV captures to Matroska containers with h264/video and ac3/audio. Every time around, I end up with a file with what I thought was an A/V sync problem. Every player that i've tried on linux points in this direction at least. Totem/Gstreamer:...

How do I install your back port of Feisty's VLC to Edgy? I added your repos, but I still get vlc (0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-1ubuntu1). I'm on Edgy amd64. TIA Didjit I haven't built for AMD64 - only i386. I can get a build environment setup on my amd64 box too though. It will just take me a little ti...

The last build that this worked correctly was 0.8.4a. See my post in http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=95993#95993 for more information about the problem. I compiled the 0.8.4a version. With this also the sound is garbled. This is what I get in the console if I play an ac3 encoded file: [00...

Alright, in the interim - I've got a build put together for ubuntu 6.10 users running into this issue. It's basically the 0.8.4 release with the alsa source file from the 0.8.4a release. To install it: 1) Set up /etc/apt/preferences sudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences Place: Package: vlc Pin: version 0....

Guys, there appears to be a bug opened about this on trac (about 1 month ago).

Hi there! where sound is practically non existent is ac3 passthrough with vlc. Hardware Receiver simply starts blinking the input led and only sort of crackles due to the sound problems. I have the same problem, and a little workaround. However, I'd prefer to get VLC to pass-through AC3 to the rece...

Also, I should not that this does work for me with xine and mythtv spdif output. So its not liba52 either.

Ubuntu version is not VLC 0.8.6 final but a SVN snaphsot, so this can be a problem.

I've taken the feisty version (which is a 0.8.6 final) and recompiled it on an edgy pbuilder. The same problem is existing for the final version for me.
