Isn't there a way then to use telnet commands in the command line, having VLM parameters in the command line ? That would be something like this : vlc -I telnet new Movie setup Movie input C:\Movie.wmv setup output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=500,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2}:standard{access=f...

Hi everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to open many streams (webcam streams actually) with only one instance of vlc, with only one command line. Nothing is meant to be displayed, the streams have to be transcoded and saved into files. We used to have VLM files but we're trying to get ri...

Hi, thanks for your reply, Actually I would like to transcode differently the two streams with one command : the goal is to save some webcam stream with a good quality in a file, and in a cheap quality in live streaming. So I would have to do something like this : --sout "#duplicate{dst=transco...

is the duplicate thing ever working or just a bad joke ?
