Greetings All;

I've been enjoying VLC for a few years now. I've recently come upon the need to
use its close caption facility.

Why are there 4 close caption options: close caption 1, close caption 2.....close caption 4 ??

What is the difference between the 4 options ?

thanks,

Good Morning folks; I've been playing around with the media player conversion tool looking to translate various formats to h264. I've noticed that when I convert mpgv4 to h264, I lose the first 8 to 9 seconds of my video (= the screen is blank for that time). I have a frame counter built into the or...

Good Evening VLCer's; Can I run a VLC client that receives a network mpeg-2 stream, converts to h264, and saves to a series of files ??

2) start a second VLC, that streams from the file to the network ??

Any tips/suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
walter

Any insight would be much appreciated.

thanks,

is there a way to invoke from the VLC gui ?? I tried the "stream all ES" option and it didn't seem to
stream the private pid.

Hi folks; I'd like to include a private Data PID along with the video and audio I am streaming. I've created a stream that has the data/video/audio. I am using a PixelMetrix to look at the PIDs being streamed out, and the data pid is not there. Is there a special config knob I need to play with to m...
