Hi
There is a an option called "stats video output function" in the output section of general video settings . Does anyone know what does this correspond to and how to use it ?


Thanks

Hi I am streaming a mpeg 4 video stream using TS as the mux (no RTP , just over plain UDP). I wanted to know the scheme VLC uses to map the mpeg 4 stream into the TS stream . Does it map one Sync Layer packet to one PES packet . Or does it use the Flex Mux layer also in between ? Also could anyone p...

Hi paul
Did you find the answer to your question ? Were you able to get any documentation on this problem ? I am also looking out for the same answers , so it could be great if you could direct me to possible sources of information which you might have obtained.

Thanks

Hi I want to know if there is any method of finding out when an I-frame starts , by examining a MPEG TS stream . There is a field in the MPEG TS header : random_access_indicator whose purpose is to aid random access into the video stream ( ie corresponds to a I-frame) , but i find that this field is...

Hi What is the difference between input bitrate and stream bitrate shown in the VLC statistics info and the send rate in the Streaming subsection ? When I am transcoding and then streaming a video from a server to a client , which field represents the actual video bitrate (received by the client and...

Thanks a lot.

Hi.
The output message posted above is the only messages i get . What do you mean by backtracre . I tried the --enable-debug option , but that did not help . Also i had installed the rpm rather than build the source, so i dont know if enable-debug option is valid or not .


Thanks

Hi evgenyk
Could you please tell the details of how you managed to change the bitrate during the current session , as you have mentioned in your last post .

Thanks in advance

Hi . I am trying to transcode a mpeg-2 file into h264 format and stream it using UDP . However i am getting a segmentation fault error upon doing this . Could any tell me how to identify what error is occuring .I am running RHEL 4 . The command I am using is vlc video1.mpg --sout '#transcode{vcodec=...

I am getting a bit confused now . There is an option of mux=ts or mux=raw . What is the difference between this ?

Thanks for replying .. But could you explain it a but more in detail . At presenet mpeg-ts over udp packs 7 packets of the Ts-stream into one UDP packet ( assuming MTU=1500 bytes) . How would this change using "Raw" method , and how can i use the "raw" method for streaming ?

Hi
I am also looking for a solution to the same problem ? Did you get any solution..

Thanks

Hi
I would like to know what is the use of the option ts-shaping and how does it help to get a constant bit rate ?


Thanks

Hi Could anyone explain me what is "raw" encapsulation method . I am actually trying to stream a MJPEG video over UDP . Even though, I have selected the bitrate as 64 kbps in the transcoding options and the encapsulation method as TS , the VLC statistics show the streaming bitrate around 1...

Hi
Is there any way to add items dynamically to a playlist from the command line ie suppose i start vlc streaming one particular file over udp , is there any way i can add another file to the playlist (while the first one is being streamed) using command line ?

Thanks
Nehil

Thanks for the information . Is there any other way , i could use VLC to get the same effect ?

Hi Everyone! I am working on a project which requires dynamic encoding rate specification depending on some real time measurements . Is there any way to dynamically change the encoding rate of a currently streamed video( a video which is currently being streamed) from the command line . All the opti...
