VLC-1.0.5 Windows XP Dell Precision M65 Video is just a black screen, audio plays fine. If I go to video effects and create a vout clone, the video plays perfectly.

Hello,

Is there a way to set the SAR (or PAR if you prefer that) when transcoding?

I know x264 supports this (see http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings), but haven't found a way to use the feature via VLC's command line.

Thanks!

Just one more detail to add:

The audio transcoding will run OK if I don't touch the samplerate.

As soon as I add a samplerate=xyz to the transcode, vlc will crash with a floating point exception in bandlimited.c

OK, here is the backtrace from gdb: [New Thread -1306498160 (LWP 20182)] x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 Cache64 [New Thread -1325573232 (LWP 20183)] x264 [info]: profile Main, level 5.1 [Thread -1325573232 (LWP 20183) exited] [Thread -1309672560 (LWP 20153) exited] Program ...

OK good idea.

When I run vlc with my command line inside gdb, it goes into a seemingly endless [new thread created] loop. Thus I never reach the seg fault.

Its been a while since I used gdb, so is there something I can do to avoid this loop?

Thanks again.

There is probably a simple explanation for this, but I can't figure it out. I have just compiled a recent vlc 1.1.0 on a Debian i386 machine along with latest versions of ffmpeg, x264, live555 etc. No problems with the compile, but the resulting binary can't do transcoding .

I have just downloaded and compiled the latest vlc version on a Debian system, along with the latest version of x264. The version numbers for vlc and x64: VLC media player 1.0.0-pre1 Goldeneye x264 core:67 r1129 c109c8e I am transcoding to h.264 using this command line: vlc -vvv -I dummy mms://a.b.c...

I am using VLC-0.9.8 to transcode an RTP stream on a Debian Linux server, which is then sent to a Darwin 5.5.5 streaming server on a different network. There are no firewalls between the two machines, but the encoder network uses NAT. The command line I use is: vlc -I dummy "mms://a.b.c.d"...
