Exactly where would i put the -q switch?

In a shell script starting vlc, anywhere after the vlc executable, like 'vlc -q somefile.avi'.
In the context of VB.net / AXVLC, I have no idea. You are setting some variables in your example, I'd guess something like that.

Since I'm running Mac OS X exclusively myself, I wouldn't have a clue about DirectShow on Windows, sorry!

I have no idea. It seems to me that the file was never an AVI container to begin with, and if so, there is no header to repair (as file seems to indicate by reporting just 'data'). You could always try what I just did:

You should ask in the VLM forum here: viewforum.php?f=11

Nope, but could you somehow make use of the -q VLC option in your script? That should kill all message output, AFAIK.

Try deleting the preference file. You can do that by running the included script from the DMG file you downloaded from www.videolan.org.

Is it really an AVI file? It could possibly have been misnamed. Check by doing a 'file <filename>' in terminal, which will report file headers that should give you a clue to its origin. If OK, does it play in other media players?

I have tried to get network synchronisation between two VLC 0.8.6.f instances working, but so far without success. Am I doing somethin wrong? AFAIK, the following should be syntactically correct: Server (192.168.1.10): vlc -vvv --network-synchronisation --netsync-master --sout "#standard{access...

I'd hazard a guess that this would depend on what you are showing on-screen. If it is a video being shown in a window, it would make sense (to me, at least) to use the very same codec used in the production of that video, for example. You need also consider that most codecs cannot use just any trans...

'vlc --advanced --longhelp' gives this info: --input-slave <string> Input slave (experimental) This allows you to play from several inputs at the same time. This feature is experimental, not all formats are supported. Use a '#' separated list of inputs. I tried it on two source files awhile back, sp...

I'm not expecting miracles, to be sure. However, I also noticed that neither MP4 nor QuickTime can be streamed over RTP/UDP. It seems to me that adding these features would be very interesting to a large number of people, and thus deserve a place on the VLC project's to do list in the near future, e...

Thanks for info, I'll guess we just have to wait and see. RTP/UDP should be faster than HTTP/TCP, so it's a welcome feature.

If I understand you correctly, OGG cannot possibly be streamed over raw UDP, but if encapsulated in RTP first WILL work, just not implemented in VLC yet?

Could anyone tell me why it isn't currently possible to stream an OGG container over UDP? If this is possible, but not supported, will it be considered for implementation in future releases of VLC? If so, when can we expect it? The reason I ask is that I am doing a project where I transcode MPEG4/AA...

This isn't implemented. Use Window > Controller in the menu (or use keyboard shortcut) to see the controller again if you have closed it.

Have a look at chapter 2 of http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... index.html

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Not really, it doesn't work for me either. Not something I really need anyway, so I won't pursue the matter at this time.

One occurence of 'this' was corrected in my last post. Please reread to clarify matters. Of course you need an address and a port - not just a port all by itself. I thought that was rather obvious. When I say local UDP port, I refer to a UDP port on the same computer. Every computer has a loopback I...

The value fields should appear if you (like I already mentioned) check (or 'tick off') the 'advanced' box in the preferences GUI. You can see it on your screenshot, where it is unchecked.

I was kind of wondering about the 15kbps upload speed when you said you were on ADSL...however 256kbps should be adequate for video, depending on the desired quality. More than likely, your torrent client imposes the 15kbps as a limit, but this can be changed by the user. Does not affect other appli...

There is the --http-reconnect option you can use, but you really should look into why your webcam drops the connection for such long periods of time in the first place.

Trying to play an MP4 test video with the --zoom <float value> function enabled causes VLC 0.8.6f to crash on Mac OS X 10.4.11 with a bus error.

The solution to all this was to circumvent Darwin Streaming Server (and its massive delay + packet mangling ways) at least for the transcoding part, instead sending two streams from Wirecast. One to Darwin for streaming full quality MPEG/AAC to clients on the LAN, the other downscaled in size and bi...

OGG is a container for audio/video (usually Vorbis/Theora), not a transport. That would be (among others) UDP, which is an unreliable and connectionless protocol for getting data on the network fast, without waiting for packet arrival confirmation from the receiver. RTP is used over UDP to provide s...

You *should* be able to do this specifying --width <integer> and --height <integer> on the command line, or by adjusting the corresponding values found in references > video (also tick off 'advanced'). However, this causes a bus error for me, and VLC will crash.
