Hi there not certian you are doing it this way when you wallpaper vlc image to the desktop.. but it seems that you are using a mask colour.. I tried to determine it but have not at the moment..

I just wanted to see if I could make other apps transparent enough to view the image on the wallpaper..

hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to only beable to add the possiblity of reducing the frame rate to your trancode function, since alot of smartphones can only handle 1/2 framerate (15 or 12.5) at the moment betaplayer is the only thing that will play them.. on smartphones. I have not noti...

strange little problem, I guess transcoded , video from version 7.2 and broadcasted over UPD is some what incompatible with version 8.1. it will not display in full screen. and is surrounded with a black bars all the time.. if I swicth to a braodcast from 8.1 it is fine again ( but since 8.1 does no...

Hi was doing a transcode to upd (tsmpeg, mpg4, mpga) stream to multicast on a wireless network.. with this version it does not seem to like to convert to mono output from stereo... I tried many different configs and it always crash vlc if I reduce the audio channels from 2 to 1 . works fine with oth...

I do not want to confuse the issue.. but I asume you are trying to stream over the internet ( that why the ip is fuzzy) and not a local network. I always found using tsmpeg and mpg4 , and mpga sending out using upd worked the best... with http it sort of needs all the packets to work so if there was...

also in windows. under your video card options, most dual display video cards have an option to display overlay on secondary monitor.. therefore any program that displays video in the overly with show up on the secondary monitor.. ( vlc, realplayer, mediaplayer etc......)

what I use to do is edit the driver install file (*.inf). to have a different name. and then do a forced install to the to the new driver name for the second device.. some times you also might have to edit some driver file names. if they they do not like to run at the same time as the other one.. bu...

I agree that is cool. i being trying the same thing to build a simple udp player that could do this, but my programing skill are pretty bad... i would interested in trying your dxfilter if possible ****sash99@mail15.com**** I was able to do pause a live stream using another dxfilter, actualy a serie...

hi there not quite a vlc topic but all you would do is build a graph in graphedit the links dvbcore (MY theatre) to your directshow filter the reencodes to the properties you want. then I guess from there you could link it to another directshow filter that would broadcastit or write it to a file.

it is pretty easy. all you need is Tsreader or any other dvbsat program that supports network streaming. you configure vlc to recieve these streamed dvb content. then rebroadcast transcoded to what ever quality your bandwidth can handle to your IP on the net transport in udp works the best. example:...

Hi there, is there any other window based players that can recieve vlc http or udp streams ( i would prefer http stream if possible). I tried alot of different player that are stream capable but I have yet being able to display a stream. they all seem to find it. ( they will continue to say opening ...

does any one know how to get vls or vlc to work with netstream 2000 software. it suppose to work with streamed video but I can not seam to get it to work. does anyone know what to do ot how to do it.

it tried with all the streaing protocals but none seam to work.

thank you for your time

Hi there I was wondering If at some point, in your transcode scheme, you were going to put in frame rate control. I personally think it is use full. especial so when transporting to the net. It easy enough to broadcast over the net, it just that it would be very use full to be able to reduce the fra...

Hi there I was wondering is if there is any way to correct this problem that vlc 7.0 has with mpegs (ts or ps)if the video and audio flags are out of sync. as the flags become more and more out of sync the file becomes more and more unplayable. to about .25 sec the file is "playable " afte...

i have no problem servering out 15 mbps. but i see problem if the packet size is set to small for the network. or if there are greedy hungry networt call programs, such as music downloading programs ( ie winmx) then I will see dropped frames or even unfuctional network stream. this is on windows xp ...

for realplayer files and linux. you can find realplayer there ia realplayer8 and realone player. they both work fine with all the realplayer files. but it is a bit hard to find a link on their website. you sort of get turned in circles. then all of a sudden the link is there. I guess the best way to...

I have the same card g450 in the same configuration only ntsc. it seems to work fine for me. only time it will not work is if there is another program using overlay. and vlc displays in surface mode. so I guess perhaps your setting in vlc could have the overlay disabled check your settings in vlc.

hi DJ thanks for your help it is appreciated I tried the grayscale switch but i could not get it to work. I looked deeper into ffmpeg. in both vlc and ffmpeg itself. and I tried commands lines listed for ffmpeg encoder but they did not work either. I see some of the commandlines are the same and som...

to bad it would be great if I could transcode to gray scale. I tried different commandline and none I tried would do it.. otherwise I can broadcast to the net no problem. and can be reached in german. I was just hoping I could reduce the colours so I could get better picture quality. I though ffmpeg...

hi I was wondering is there a switch to transcode to gray scale. I know I can make vlc display in gray. but what I want to do is convert fom colour input, transcode to gray scale mpg4 and transport the stream. via the net. perhaps I am just missing it. could you give it to me in a example command li...

well if it is decoding the video I would think it should be decodeing the audio. did you connect the audio jump wire to the soundcard input? if not and you do not feel like taking your machine apart to see just plug into the audio out on the back of the card and see if audio is there. but looking at...

I thought I mention this and and say how cool it is and great significants of it in world wide sence for bringing the world closer together. that with sat dvb program have bieng able to take a fta sat stream transcode to mpeg4 and stream it any where in the world an watch it in "real time "...

I would guess the easiest video card to install would be the matrox 450 or 550. by easiest I mean it has the most compatiblity with linux and you will not have to hunt down and install video drivers for it ( such as you might if you use a nvidia card. but I sure there are more linux savy people then...

how are you displaying to tv? via the video card ? and it sounds like you are swapping video cables to achive this ? if you working in a windows enviroment then i would say set overlay to display on secondary display ( being the TV) - stretch to fit option. and then when ever you watch a something i...
