Has anyone had any success streaming MPEG4 from a USB camera at 128kbps? I have no problem streaming at 300kbps or above but I could simply not find a parameter that will allow me stream at 90 or 128kbps without a lot of pixellation and mosaic'ing when there's a lot of motion in front of the camera....

Thanks that worked!

Can you also give me suggestions as to how to remove pixellation & mosaic'ing when the video bitrate is 128kbps (and the imagesize is QVGA (320x240)?

Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to make a video-only recording on 0.9.8a running on Fedora 10. My command line is cvlc v4l2:// :v4l2-adev=/dev/audio :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0 :v4l2-fps=15.0 :v4l2-width=320 :v4l2-height=240 --width=320 --height=240 -vvv --no-audio --sout '#duplicate{dst=display,dst="transcode{vcodec...

Hi aegyssus, Did you get an answer to your question? I'm noticing the same problem on Fedora 10 with 0.9.8a. My command is vlc v4l2:// :v4l2-dev=/dev/video0 --sout #transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=300,width=320,height=240,hurry-up,bframes=0,rc-buffer-size=40,keyint=15}:rtp{mux=ts,dst=224.2.0.1,port=5555,sd...

Dear Wolfx,

I noticed that you're using a video bitrate of 1024kbps (vb=1024). This is too high for 3g cell network (unless you're stringing to your Nokia S60 using WiFi). Do you transcode this down to 200-300kbps somewhere later in your pipeline?

Thanks

Hi List. Apologies for a newbie post but I've been stuck for a while and don't know where to turn. To stream from the windows 0.9.8a version of VLC my latest try is C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc dshow:// :dshow-vdev="USB Video Device" --width=320 --height=240 --sout "#transcode{vc...

I have a newbie question. I see many documents where people use venc=ffmpeg. Does this only work in linux and not in windows? Or is this a version 9 issue (I'm using version 8.6i because, as other posters point out, transcode is broken in the latest v9.6). Also I need to be able to control encoding ...
