Thanks for this. I'll check my file sizes and see if they coincide with the suggested 4Gb issue.

Forgive me. I repeated the method that I typed in post #1 and it created an MPG file not a MOV file. Here's a better description: (1) View->Advanced Controls. (2) Media->Open Disc. The "DVD" radio button is selected. The "Disc device" list box is "D:". Click the "P...

Hi, (VLC 1.0.1 Goldeneye, WinXP) I have a DVD of a private function which I'd like to extract to *.mov files. Reading around I decided to try enabling "View"->"Advanced Controls". This adds a record button to the interface. I start playing the DVD as normal then, when I get to th...

Agreed. Latest source code (1.1.0-Git) built under Linux plays the G.726 file. Thank you.

Thanks j-b and nice to know that at least the audio file is correct. I have the source of 1.0.0-rc3. Can I patch it in any way?

With pleasure. There should be a suitable sample now at http://hsb.awardspace.com/share/sample- ... s-g726.wav

Hi, I have an 8kHz WAV file encoded as G.726 mono 32kb/s. Windows Media Player can play the file using the "Sharp G.726 Audio Codec". If I try to play the same file in VLC using the GUI and Media->Open File... I get " wav error: unsupported codec (g726)". I've tried various combi...

I now understand what I was doing wrong. The critical depencies are the hidden files in extras/contrib/src. The previous suggested solution was: ...you need to force the build with rm -f .libfoo && make .libfoo When I looked at the hidden files in extras/contib/src I figured that "libfo...

incrementally build LIBMPEG2 from its own source code OK. That's what I tried to describe in the middle part of the previous post. I hope you don't mind if I ask one more question; Once I've built an updated lib in extras/contrib ... how do I make the VLC Makefile(s) "see" that the lib ha...

Thanks. I now have a better understanding of the structure; VLC uses the services provided by libavcodec but libavcodec is developed by the lovely FFmpeg people. I have a Linux distro which doesn't provide the VLC development libs so I've been building everything from source. I'll be more careful to...

I must apologise for still feeling like an idiot but I can't yet make your instructions works. Can you talk me through a trivial example please? Suppose I want to rebuild libmpeg2 by making a change to mpeg2dec.c. In the example below I've shown "touch" to mimic updating a source file. $ p...

If I make a small change to a source file, say I modify <vlc>/extras/contrib/src/<path>/<file.c> then what steps should I take to rebuild the vlc binary?!? I've tried running "make" from <vlc>/extras/contrib but it claims there is nothing to make I can get a library to rebuild if I run &qu...

I now have 1.0.0-rc3 built from source. I've tested that I can transcode an 8kHz mono file to the alaw codec: ./vlc -vvv -I "dummy" source.wav --sout='#transcode{acodec=alaw,ab=16,channels=1,samplerate=8000}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=192.168.0.2,port-audio=1234}}' This works correctly; I can l...

Just a quick post to say that I now have a working build of 1.0.0-rc3.

Previous post solved with an additional parameter on the ./configure command line:
Everything is configured and fingers are crossed. Now to build VLC...

Another request for help please... I've built and installed Qt version 4.5.0 to /usr/local/qt4. When I re-run the VLC configure script I still get an error about not finding Qt 4. If I look in config.log I can see: configure:62498: checking for QT4 configure:62509: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-error...

UI needs Qt 4.3.0 for 1.0 and 4.4.0 for 1.1, I think.

Thanks j-b. Having now looked inside the VLC configure script it's obvious that I need at least Qt version 4.3.0. I have the source package of Qt 4.5.0 which is building right now...

OK this is coming together in small stages. The steps I've taken so far: get, configure, make and install autoconf 2.63 remove .wxWidgets, .dirac, .raw1394, .dc1394 and .tiger from <vlc-source>/extras/contrib/distro.mak (becasue each of these fails to build with different errors). make in <vlc-sourc...

Hello, I'm attempting to build VLC 1.0.0-rc3 from source. The tool versions I have are: GNU Autoconf 2.59 GNU Make 3.81 GCC 4.1.2 NASM 0.98.39 I'm following the method on http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile to build the libraries from extras/contrib: cd <vlc-source>/extras/contrib ./bootstrap make ...

As I said, G.723 is not supported. :oops: My fault - there's a mistake in post #3. The command I used was: cvlc -vvv source.wav --sout '#transcode{codec=g726,ab=16,rate=8000}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=192.168.0.2,port-audio=1234}}' ...and if I can trouble you to revisit the VLC output in post #3 you'll...

Great answer thank you. I'm most of the way there but I'm still missing something. Here's my command (note that "source.wav" is 8khz 16 bit mono): cvlc -vvv source.wav --sout '#transcode{codec=g723,ab=16,rate=8000}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=192.168.0.2,port-audio=1234}}' The output with -vvv e...

Hello, Can anyone tell me which of the following CODECs are supported in the VLC and what the required "acodec=" parameter is please? I have VLC 0.9.9 but I'm happy to build a later version from source if required. G.711 u-law (64 Kbps) (acodec=ulaw) G.711 a-law (64 Kbps) (acodec=alaw) G.7...

Severe blush G.711 was introduced in VLC 0.9.x. Drop 0.9.9 onto the WinXP client and everything comes to life.

Still (cough) maybe this short thread will serve as some kind of G.711 tutorial?!?

Hello, My question isn't OS specific but I'll give you the details here just in case: Server=Linux CentOS 5 with VLC 0.9.8a Client=WinXP with VLC 0.8.6c On the client I have an 8kHz mono 16 bit WAV file which I've proved plays correctly from the server's own soundcard using VLC's GUI. Hitting CTRL-I...

OK I've fixed it. Experimentation showed me that the answer is: #!/bin/bash VLCCMD="cvlc source.mp3 --sout "#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,dst=192.168.0.2:1235}}"" echo VLC Command:$VLCCMD $VLCCMD There are two changes to my original script: remove the double quotes from the MP3 f...
