Re: DirecShow: Best Quality?

in the "Transcode" setup, try mp2v to start. If you're doing SD resolutions, most cpu's should be able to compress live. h.264 consumes more cpu than mp2v, so try mp2v first. If you have multiple cores, you could add "threads=n" where N is the number of cores in your system. This...

Re: HD H.264 on-the-fly transcoding with VLC?

x.264 indeed will scale up to hd resolutions. I've successfully used vlc/x264 at 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 60i/30p on single-chip quad core boxen, though not with certain combinations of options - i.e. ref=2 or 3 tops with a GoP > than ~90 frames, and of course, some direct-prediction modes and motion...

Re: transocoding to mp2v with 0.9.6 broken

..If I encode your file to MP4 it works correctly. But if I try to encode your file to MPEG-2, for some reason it fails. Whoa, missed this point in my first reply. So, the example file I posted is simply a mp2ts from a firewire HDV camera. It's an 1440x1088 @ 29.970 fps (60i). Perhaps that's our is...

But if I try to encode your file to MPEG-2, for some reason it fails. avcodec debug: libavcodec already initialized avcodec error...

Re: Stream multicast via VLC to clients

We support multicast for remote users of our office vpn. Our 'vpn termination' system is really just a mid-grade cisco router (2811, running 12.4T). The only vpn type that I've successfully gotten multicast to work on is PPTP - and that's only by virtue of the fact that "real" PPP virtual-...

I've noticed that since moving to this version, mpeg2 video encoding seems to not work. Interestingly, mpeg2 a...
