taking a screenshot should (as far as I know) work with directx output, by disabling overlay in the video prefs

This is a known issue of the design of VLC 0.7.0 should improve things...

Well, this function part of one of our projects called manager... (hope we'll finish it one day

in the meantime, a simple netcat on the telnet interface, in the cron (or usinf atd) should do the trick...

VLC cannot override region setting on most recent DVD drives shipped with Apple computers...

WMP is unable to open a MPEG/TS file (... as far as I know).

The only way I see to have WMP open a file streamed by VLC would be to stream it over HTTP, using the avi muxer.

well... As far as I know, DVB works in a completely different way under linux and window... and nobody has shown any interest in developping such a port yet... If you are interested, well, we are very interested in any contrib, and we would try to help anybody who would start such a project... (Also...

as long have your card is able to output a vaild MPEG stream on a device, we should be able to stream it... This has been tried with Haupaugge PVR 250 cards and Kfirs under linux. In fact, we have a pvr input on VLC, that can has the ability to set this cards correctly without using any external pro...

have a look at the dshow access (if your card has a direct show compatible driver)

should be ok, if you find a way to feed the stream into VLC (on linux, works well with pipes, fifos, etc...

You're right about everything in your post. You have to tell VLC that you're streaming on a multicast address : just use udp://@[multicat address]

(the @ is important

Well, please don't forget this is an english speaking mailing list : most developpers, and a still bigger bunch of our users cannot speak a word of french... About you question : you'll need the unstable verison of VLS : just remove the -r v0_5_0 switch in your cvs command line. However, VLS cvs mig...

Well, your CPU might be a bit slow indeed... Decoding high res MPEG is really a CPU intensive task...

What's this "transcoding"? Encoding on-the-fly by any chance? Anyway, I tried to do it this way (by selecting an audio codec (tried mp3 and mpga) in the transcoding options), and it sorta works, but it sounds just awful. Yes, in that case, transcoding means real time encoding. Which bitra...

Well, about your audio issue... Are you sure recording is set to line out (not only playbck) and recoding level is high enough

About yout craching issue... Is the log you sent reulting from a crash ? I can only see VLC exiting cleanly...

Well, v4l has been supported in every release for quite a long time now (a few releases, in fact, cannot remember since which).

However, not sure every packager has enabled v4l in its packages...

well, are both videos using the same codex/mux ?

could you please send us a log ? (view menu, message box)

well, could you send us a log ?

Go to the view menu, message box (select the verbose option, if any)

Well, due to its multiplatform nature, VLC doesn't set the audio volume by modifing the OS mixer's settings (would need a different implementenation for every OS), but by applying a filter, that will change the value of each numeric sample after decoding (somebody corrects me if I'm wrong). You've p...

well, this doesn't seem to be a valid ts file...

By the way, 200 kB/s seems too little for a DVB video stream. I would rather expect at least twice that value

that should only work on website using basic autehtification, and no encryption

Have a look here :

Well, VLC can only stream from a direct show compatible device on windows, and I'm not sure the Geforce is (I doubt it, in fact...)

It I'm wrong and it is, you'll have the select the dshow input, and the transcode option in stream output proprieties. (you'll need quite a fast computer though...)

Well, still then, cannot seen anything wrong in these logs : the vlc connects correctly to the http server of the dreambox, authentificate correctly, and starts retreiving the file...

Could you please check the verbose box in the message window (if unchecked) and/or send us the rest of the logs ?

looks as if modules hadn't been compiled / installed properly...

Could you please open the message box, in the window menu and send us the result ?
