The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, Is < 1 sec feasible with default Windows binary distribution? What is the recommended setup for minimum delay (on high-bandwidth network)? I'm having trouble using some of the encoders. e.g: "Video MPEG - 2 + MPGA (TS)" results: Streaming / Transcoding failed: VLC could not open the en...

I'd gladly help.
Don't know how though. Is it Ok for anyone to update the formal tutorials?
I think it's better to move the newer contribs to the official directory. Don't think I'm able to do that...

Thanks jb, Talking from a noobie point of view, I find it irritating that there are new contribs that are not published on the main tutorial, and not copied to the main ftp directory. I find the contrib integration the hardest part of trying to compile VLC on my own. I think it should be made easier...

contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 is the latest file with that filename format on the vlc ftp win directory.
does 1.0.0 replaces it? (It is unclear...)

To my short experience: contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 has a "live555" problem, Whitch I didn't try to resolve (Version mismatch or something like that). contrib-1.0.0.tar.bz2 passes the live555 part, but quits on TwoLame. Using contrib-1.0.0.tar.bz2 + ...

Disabling twolame worked. Everything compiled successfuly.
Many thanks.
Perhaps it should be considered to alter the configure-vlc.sh script on the tutorial...

Thanks,
What should be affected by disabling twolame?

Also, I didn't understand the last post.
What do you mean: "Take last contribs"?
I do take those, but I also use configure-vlc.sh as suggested by this manual:

Hi, I'm trying to compile versuin from git using cygwin. I used contribs from site: contrib-20080528-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2, and contrib-1.0.0.tar.bz2 after configure using script from the compiling for win32 article, I get: "configure: error: Library twolame needed ...

Thanks,
the 'disable-activex' worked!

Hello, I'm having the same problem, only with cygwin. Being new to VLC, I have several questions. A. What does this ActiveX do? (and how do I know if need it?) B. How do I disable it so it would compile? I've work according to exact instructions on the VLC compiling HOWTO's, and I'm using VLC-0.8.5 ...
