I ended up using handbrake-cli interface (www.handbrake.fr). I made a C# wrapper API around handbrake.

I'm testing hardware accellerated H264 decoding using a Broadcom card. The hardware decoder driver is implementet as a DirecShow codec/filter. Playing 1080p HD movies in Media Player automatically uses the correct codec/filter and playback is smooth with low CPU load. I prefer to use VLC espesially ...

I am in need of the same. If you find another windows command-line tool then please let me know,

Probably not no. I need to show a user which video, audio and subtirle tracks are available so I can pass along the right arguments to vlc.exe when I rip a movie. I'll be looking for some other tool then. Anyone who knows something witch can be called from command line I'd be happy.

I need to list the contents of a DVD in order to know which video and audio tracks to rip using VLC. Is there a way to make VLC list or dump the DVD contents (list of movie tracks, audio tracks, subtitles etc) to a file? If not, does anyone know of a lsdvd substitute for Windows?

Thanks.

Uninstalling and reinstalling VLC might fix the problem. Else you can do some checks. First open a command windows (cmd.exe) as administrator if you are on Vista / Win7 with UAC enabled. Then type assoc followed by a space and the file extenstion you have problems with, for example .mp4. [enter] is ...

In the association from file extention to VLC there is missing double quotes around the argument. Somewhere it says to open vlc.exe %1 when you click an avi file. But since the path contains a space this is converted to two arguments. It should state vlc.exe "%1" instead. I cannot remember...

mp4v encoder in VLC sucks. It used to be a bit better but at some point it got awful. I get the same problem with mpg2 and avi (divx) as well. vcodec mux mpg2v ts div3 avi mpg4a mp4 All have the same pulsing problem, but it seems program dependant. In a single long recording that includes multiple ...

AVI streaming is broken AFAIK.

What, broken in 1.0.2? If so, what was the last version where it worked?

Does the problem happen if you use something else than UDP input?

Does not happen when using feks a DVD as input.

Ok, a strange problem here. Using latest VLC (1.0.2) to record a live video stream to 2000 kbit/s mp4 using this command: VLC.exe -Idummy --run-time=30 udp://@239.1.1.11:1234 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=2000,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,deinterlace,audio-sync,samplerate=44100}:duplicate...

Darn. Today the problem is back. VLC crashes when transcording is done. The output from VLC is as follows: [0x27a99fc] dummy interface: VLC media player - version 1.0.2 Goldeneye - (c) 1996-2009 the VideoLAN team [0x27a99fc] dummy interface: Warning: if you can't access the GUI anymore, open a comma...

Upgraded to 1.0.2 and I've yet to experience the problem. Thanks.

I'm recording a live stream and use --run-time=<nn> to limit number of seconds to record. Then I add vlc://quit to make VLC quit after recording is done. Problem is that when recording is done (<nn> secs elapsed) VLC.exe write "dummy demux: command 'quit'" message and crashes. My full comm...

Did you ever find out this problem? I'm recording a live stream and uses --run-time=<nn> to limit number of seconds to record. Then I add vlc://quit to make VLC quit after recording is done. Problem is that VLC.exe crashes with the same "dummy demux: command 'quit'" message and I need to c...

I solved this myself. Adding vlc://quit solved it.

I'm using VLC to rip some DVD's. I'm starting VLC via command line from another program with this command: vlc -Idummy --dummy-quiet dvdsimple://D:\ :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=2000,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=c:\\temp\movie.m...
