I've got a few DVDs that I've ripped in Handbrake and then transcoded in VLC so that they play on the iPhone. Even though the ripped file is physically 720 x 432, when it is adjusted anamorphically, it's 1024 x 432 (or very similar). When I've transcoded the files in VLC I've scaled them to 480 x 27...
To add to my previous post I've also tried /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv -I dummy "/Users/me/desktop/trenchrun.m4v" --sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=400,fps=25,cropleft=80,cropright=80,height=270,width=345}:standard{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=trenchrun.mp4}" which u...
Just a quick update on this. So far no more luck. I tried the following command line: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv -I dummy "/Users/me/desktop/trenchrun.m4v" --global-key-crop-left=80 --global-key-crop-right=80 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=400,fps=25,height=270,width=...
Thanks kdh, I will try that. In the tests I've been doing I've been trying to crop and scale at the same time as part of the transcode process. Splitting it out as you have seems more logical.
I'm trying to crop a video and then scale it to a smaller size, but I can't figure out the command line for doing this. I've read the help file about crop-geometry but still can't figure it out. If I have an input video that's say 640 x 480, and I want to crop 80 pixels off left and right and then s...
I don't know why you think MP3 couldn't be play inside a video on the iphone. I've only used AAC-LC. I just quoted from the iPhone specs. From Apple website: Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline P...
I've been working on something similar, using the Apple Stream Segmenter, rather than the open source segmenter you're using. Looking at your command line, I don't think you'll get h.264 and MP3 to work on the iPhone. I think it has to be AAC-LC. If you go into VLC preferences and choose "all&q...
