Ofcourse you can stream h.264, but you can't transcode it in realtime or can you?

That's good to hear.

Hello again! What you are doing is impossible for a number of reasons. A 1.5 Gh Dual processor is sufficient for capturing 3 x 1 CCD sources at best with no transcoding involved. We used a Mac Book Pro 2.6 Gh Dual with 4 GB RAM and had problems with capturing 3 streams to disk and transcoding 1 UDP ...

Yes there is. You can run vlc from the commandline. I don't know which operativ system you are on, but depending on which operativ system you are using it is something like this: linux, unix, mac: vlc/[path to the application]/ -l | grep h.264 vlc/[path to the application]/ -l | grep h264 vlc/[path ...

RTSP to RTMP? Why not RTMP to RTMP? Make a flash video switcher and send it with RTMP to your RTMP server. We have a similar project going on with transcoding and switching protocols, but in the end of the line, it's better not to fiddle to much if your not doing it for good reasons. We have been wo...

Why do you guys want to transcode a Mpeg4 RTSP stream into a FLV stream? You can program flash to capture a live video stream and send it to a flash server.

Use MpegStreamClip:

You can try it from the commandline:

http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... /ch11.html

Do it with the options vlc -vvv

You will get a verbose message. You can also open View -> Messages and then start streaming from the web camera.

Try:

vlc -vvv file.avi --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp1v, acodec=mpga}:std{access=file, mux=mpeg1,url=file.mpg}'

Post what you get enclosed in a code tag.

I need to see the whole output to know what is going on. Are you listening on the right ports for Darwin? Are you using the right file names? Are you capturing your stream and then sending it to Darwin? And then what? What are you trying to do? Explain! What is the connection between: file:///usr/lo...

Streaming theora: ./vlc -vvv rtsp://158.39.162.136/my_stream.sdp --sout '#transcode{venc=theora,aenc=vorbis, vb=1024,ab=64}:duplicate{dst=std{access=shout{ogg=1,protocol=icy},mux=mux_ogg,dst=source:password@localhost:8000/test.ogg}}' ./vlc -vvv rtsp://158.39.162.136/my_stream.sdp --sout '#transcode{...

That's what I also want to know and this is 2 years after you posted this post. I have tried the same as you, but had no success. Johan I have tried this: ./vlc -vvv rtsp://158.39.162.136/my_stream.sdp --sout '#transcode{venc=theora,aenc=vorbis, vb=1024,ab=64}:duplicate{dst=std{access=shout{ogg=1,pr...

run vlc -l | grep shout to see if you have access_output_shout

if not: configure vlc with it and install it again.

You have to install it on your system first. Make a check if it is installed.

I have tried to transcode a mpeg4 rtsp stream to ogg/theora for weeks now, but with no success. I am about to give up on it. I get a to big drift when i try this: ./vlc -vvv --access live555 --codec ffmpeg --sout-transcode-vcodec theora --sout-transcode-acodec vorbis --sout-transcode-venc theora --s...

H.264 doesn't give vlc a decoding timestamp which makes it impossible to transcode h.264 or save it to file. If you are trying either of those, you will get problems. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45727 Streaming theora: ./vlc -vvv rtsp://158.39.162.136/my_stream.sdp --sout '#tra...

You can't transcode using h.264. I wrote an answear here and it is stated elsewhere. I have tried this for several months and we have found that VLC can't find a valid decoding timestamp when streaming h.264.

sorry

cheers

What commands did you send vlc to get a pass-thru with a h.264 stream coming in from udp? We have tried it with rtsp, but it is impossible because of timestamp problems under transcoding. Please post! I will share some insight with you on the problems with h.264. You can read here for more info on p...

Yes, but it isn't very easy. You have to set up a shoutcast server so you can stream over http rather then rtsp which will be blocked by the firewall. You can ofcourse open up the ports you need in the router for the video traffic. I don't know what is more easier for you. If you have admin rights t...

Yeah! You probably can, but I am not sure what you are asking for. Strictly speaking. Vlc isn't a webcam and what do you mean by stream output to a viritual wdm device. This is slightly confusing. Here is an example of input from webcam showing in vlc trough the comandline: http://musa.poperbu.net/i...

Yeah you can, but it is a bit tricky. You need to install vlc with shout support.

look here:

I found a couple of problems and some solutions. First of all. You don't get shout support through installing vlc through the synaptic package manager on 7.10 Gutsy. It doesn't have support for sending to a shout server so you have to download the binaries and configure the third part support yourse...

The repositories in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy are pointing to the wrong adresses. So the shoutcast output plugin isn't probably set up in the vlc bundle that follows the Ubuntu cd. So you have to compile and configure the program manually through the command line. Follow the tutorial in the previous post, b...

Maybe this will help:

try wget with sudo

The output module is missing in Ubuntu:

You have to find it somehow:

I am trying to, but haven't been able to do so.

Good luck!
