The VideoLAN Forums

You can use VLC to stream video over your lan, you dont have to use VLS.

I use the following to stream TV over my network:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=9000,scale=1.5,acodec=mpga,ab=256,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=239.255.0.1:1234}}

Thanks for your awnsers. I have just gone out and got WinDVD 5 because it supports DTS. I had hoped to keep using VLC for all my DVDs, but it does not matter too much since I have a region-free DVD ROM drive.

Are there any plans to let VLC decode DTS sound?

Ths stuttering problem is most likely caused by your wireless link not being fast enough. I dont get any stuttering when I stream stuff to my PowerBook G4, but I use a 100Mbit ethernet network. You can change the contrast/brightness etc in VLC, although it is easier to do with the Windows version th...

Is there a way to get the DTS sound on my DVDs to play in VLC 0.7. I dont have any other DVD player software that support DTS.

My computer:
Windows 2000
VLC 0.7
Soundblaster Audigy
2500XP
Analogue 5.1 speakers

I had a similar problem with my WinTV card. You need to open up the ATI TV program and change it to the channel/input you want. Then load up VLC with the ATI TV program still open and it should all work.

I can get the miniDVD format disks to play in VLC. But most consumer DVD players will not be able to play the disks.

The easiest way to do it is to get VideoLan to save the TV as a file on your hard disk, you can then open the file over the network. You can also rewind, fast foward the TV when you do it like this.

The colours are fine if I just watch the TV directly.

I am streaming TV from my WinTV card (PAL) to the other computers on my network. But the colours are all messed up, if I adjust the Hue on the client machines, the colours look a lot better, but not perfect. Does anyone know how to solve this. My Server uses Windows 2000pro, the clients are a mixtur...

I was wondering if there were any plans to add Rendezvous support for VLC/VLS. It would be really good if I could start a server and all the client computers would automatically find that server. It would be like iTunes works now, where is displays all active iTunes applications on a network, then l...

I check here every week or so also, for the Mac OS X version. Looking at the log, I like the idea of the Mozilla plugin. It will be good if VLC gets to a stage where I dont need to use any other media player (besides iTunes of course).

Firstly great software, I no longer have to flash my DVD drives if I want to play DVDs from other countries. VLC is now so stable/feature rich, I am using it over WinDVD/PowerDVD on my PC. I know it says in the readme that it is hard to optimise Videolan for graphics cards on the Mac, but I was wond...
