The VideoLAN Forums

There is an emample about how to use the libvlc.dll to stream a webcam to another machine in a visual c++ project: http://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_Visual_C This is part of the source code. char ** commands = new char*[6]; commands[0] = "testvlcconsole.exe"; //your application name commands...

I want to carry out some development-related work based on VLC, so I am trying to understand part of VLC's source codes. Naturally, I often encouter some difficulties. However, in this forum I find the asked questions are mainly about VLC's usage. I have asked some development-related questions here...

In some VLC-related documents(downloaded from the VLC website), I found several commands like this: "sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=128,scale=1,sfilter=marq:logo:time}". But when I input commands like this, VLC doesn't recognize the "sout" or "transcode" command options...

Can anyone tell me how to transcode files using VLC in command line mode?
Where can I input those transcode-releated commands?
Thank you!y

Now I encouter a problem about how to set the DTS and PTS stamps when muxing TS streams using software. It's known to all that VLC can mux TS streams excellently. So I appeal to the source codes of VLC. So far I have read the source codes of "TS muxer plugin" for more two days. But I still...

Now I'm trying to understand the mechanism VLC uses to manage its FIFOs through reading the source codes. But I find it really hard to understand such mechanism. Can anyone tell me where and when those FIFOs are allocated in the source codes? What and how those kernel objects are used to synchonize ...

Dear administrator, we Chinese are all waiting for your actions!

Dear administrator, thanks for your reply. We are all waiting for your immediate and right actions. Besides, you have mentioned the “Sourceforge.net”. Firstly, thank you for telling me the problem. And if this problem really exists, I think I will call on more people to focus on it. Thank you. Dear ...

Dear administrator, I think you're a Frenchman, so you may not understand the feeling of our Chinese. The problem is : In the "Location" field, except "taiwan", all the others are names of countries. What is worse, "the national flag of taiwan" appears on the web page. ...

Dear website administrators, if you don't intend to hurt the majority of our Chinese, please change your web pages. I think "Taiwan of China" should be better. Or to some extent "China Taipei" is also acceptable! But it has to be emphasized that "taiwan" is unacceptable...

Hi! I'm a VLC user from the mainland of China. Just now when I browsed the website of VLC, I found that on the page of downloading VLC, "taiwan" is in the same list of other countries. For example,the page:"http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html". As a Chinese, I must ...

When I play my TS file, the VLC always shows "waiting for SPS".

What's the reason ?

Thank you!

Does VLC support all the current video and audio standards?

As we know, the major framework of JSVM(Joint Scalable Video Model) has been set up by the JVT(Joint Video Team).

Does VLC support Scalable Video now?

Or will VLC support Scalable Video in the near future?

Is gcc available on Windows?


If so, how to install it on Windows?

As my operation system is Windows, the compilier "gcc" cannot be used now.

Well, can VLC source code be compiled by any other software except for "gcc"?

I know VLC can transcode MPEG2 video ES streams to raw H.264 streams.

Does the raw H.264 streams which are transcoded from MPEG2 video ES streams by VLC contain B frames?

Compared with gcc, I'm more familiar with visual c++.

Why VLC(especially VLC for Windows) is developed using gcc but not visual c++?

What's wrong with Visual C++?

I wonder how VLC makes use of the PCR, DTS and PTS values in the H.264 TS streams.

Would you please tell me which files in the VLC source code are involved in decoding H.264 TS streams?

Does DTS or PTS play a key role when H.264 TS streams are decoded by VLC?

Can VLC decode H.264 TS streams which have something wrong with its DTS and PTS values?

During the decoding of H.264 TS streams, which modules are involved?

I failed to use VLC(0.8.1) to generate TS streams from my own H.264 ES streams(with B frames contained).
Would you please tell me whether VLC(0.8.1) has such ability?
Thank you very much!

I have a H.264 TS streams file which contains B frames. Every time I use VLC(0.8.1)to decode this TS file, VLC(0.8.1) just shows one frame and then stops.

Would you please tell me whether VLC can decode H.264 TS streams that contain B frames?

Thank you very much!

As far as I know, "m2v" means MPEG2 video ES streams.
VLC is quite qualified to play it.

I have several YUV files, how can I generating H.264 TS streams using VLC?

Does DTS or PTS play a key role when H.264 TS streams are decoded by VLC?

Can VLC decode H.264 TS streams which have something wrong with its DTS and PTS values?
