Please help me understand how to correct the aspect ratio (AR) when transcoding. My situation is the following. Input file (in.avi) has resolution 720x480, black margins at both sides (left and right) and 16:9 AR (which seams to be correct). Some experimenting has shown that the picture gets normal ...

You probably need to transcode the video to a format that Ogg can encapsulate

...or use some other encapsulation method compatible with your stream's audio/video codecs.

calgonite , hi! It seems there realy is a problem and it depends on the input file contents. I've tried encoding two avi files with the following command line: vlc test.avi --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,acodec=mp4a,ab=128}:std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=test.mp4} With test.avi video stream dis...

Maybe it's because you're trying to encode in MPEG2 while using the MPEG1 container? Try choosing MP4 or MPEG PS as a container or change video codec to mp1v. Good luck!

biolizard89 , I have tried your command line on my (not so asf) files and VLC realy does nothing. After looking to example with transcoding in the Wiki I noticed some difference (don't know wether it's important or not) the following example makes some output (not so good in my case but maybe it'll...

clem.s , it seems like VLM just can not use playlists. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=42981#p134797 Here is the same question unanswered for years: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16874 I think you can use an additional VLM config file instead like this: setup ...

Give us more messages. For the file above I used the following command line (on Win2K): vlc -vvv test.wmv --sout #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=256,fps=25,max-width=320,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=test.mp4}} VLC sends the following messages: main debug: CPU ha...

I have the same problem. Sample input format: Format : Windows Media Video: Codec : WMV3 Codec/Family : VC-1 Codec/Info : Windows Media Video 9 Codec description : Windows Media Video 9 - Professional Audio: Codec : WMA2 Codec/Info : Windows Media Audio 2 Codec description : Windows Media Audio 9.1 ...

Hi Rapha222! I asked the very same question some weeks ago and still don't have an answer: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=46170 I saw some other question on the same subject in this forum. And I've even found some answer in the Wiki: http://wiki.videolan.org/Common_Problems#Stream...

In brief The reason making me think this might be possibly a bug is that the same video file is played by VLC correctly but gets corrupted when being streamed. Below I'll provide all important information but first please have a look at the sample file itself. Here is the file (500KB): http://bez.s...

I need to prepare video files for streaming by transcoding audio/video to lower bitrate and adding logo. The next command line basically does the thing... vlc some.avi --sout #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=256,fps=25,maxwidth=320,maxheight=240,canvas-width=320,canvas-height=240,canvas-aspect=4:3,sfilter=...

Hi, gborzi! I'm looking for solucion of the "waiting for SPS/PPS" problem as well. In my case (http streaming from VLC to VLC) I use a temporary(?) workaround -- encapsulating h264 video in asf container (mux=asf) while streaming. It helps to start video playback immediately, although the ...

madRat, I didn't try to reproduce the problem but I noticed by accident a couple of weeks ago while transcoding video with Windows version of VLC, that the same video content weights significantly much (about 20%) when saved using TS than using MP4 as container. I thought it's rather strange, but I'...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to set up video streaming on FreeBSD server using VLM. The problem is that VLC on client side stops playing http stream whenever VLM has finished streaming single playlist element. If play button is pressed after that, VLC successfully starts playing the next (currantly strea...
