Re: MJPEG stream to h.264 stream?

I never was able to get this working via VLC, but I was able to get ffmpeg installed on my Pi to grab the RTSP stream and push it to YouTube.

So it's not an answer to this particular problem, but it's an alternate solution.

Re: Chinese embedded subtitles not rendering 99% of the time

Wow! Thanks for the rapid response!

Just for clarification--do I need to wait for Handbrake to also fix their bug? Or does the VLC fix work around the Handbrake issue?

Chinese embedded subtitles not rendering 99% of the time

I used Handbrake to embed two SRT files in a video, one in English and one in Chinese. The resulting MP4 is here (one hour, 1.73 GB :shock: ) When I play this video in Quicktime Player 10.5 on macOS 10.14.6 I can select either subtitle track, and both render correctly. When I play this video on VLC ...

Re: trouble viewing camera output in web page

I don't know the answer, but I'm searching for a similar situation. Someone at the arstechnica forums wrote me some javascript to load a raw .avi URL into a frame (e.g. not an <embed> tag), and that's working very well: http://kan.org/pictures/MicroSeven4PanedInterface.jpg I can't figure out how to ...

Re: Web Plugin VLC MAC

But there are some video sources out there that aren't HTML5 <video> compatible, and never will be. For example I have a MicroSeven video camera that stores AVI files on its internal SD card, and serves them up from an internal web server. I have no control over that, so if I want to see what's on m...

MJPEG stream to h.264 stream?

Hi! I've built a weatherproof (?) BeeCam from a Raspberry Pi board running MotionEye, and it outputs an 800 x 600 x 30 fps MJPEG stream over http at about 40 Mbps. The Pi doesn't have enough CPU to compress it down to h.264 at an acceptable frame rate, and I don't want to serve 40 Mbps to the public...

Re: OLPC XO-1 Build of VLC

Yes, a Sugarized VLC would be truly awesome. I installed VLC from the command line on my 5-year-old's XO, and I'm quite pleased with the video performance. But asking him to remember how to launch VLC is a bit much. Furthermore, the XO's OS-level GUI has a specific mechanism for application switchin...

Again, I know this is freeware, but nothing is free, I am sure VideoLAN catches some type of benefit from folks downloading the software I don't know whether or not you intended it, but your post is very close to insulting. The good folks who provide VideoLAN don't even have banner ads on their sit...

Reading from CD is substantially slower than reading from a HD. It also requires more CPU on OSX. Why does reading from CD take more CPU? Is Apple not using DMA or something odd like that? Is this something that an app can attempt to compensate for by buffering more aggressively? Duh. There's an op...

Yep, lack of CPU power
But if I copy the file to the HD, then it doesn't skip any more. Does reading data from the disc require that much CPU power? Or is this more likely to be a scheduling/buffering problem?

VLC skips under OS X on older hardware

I'm running VLC on Mac OS X on an iBook 600 MHz G3. When playing DivX files from CD, the stream skips/hiccups every 10-15 seconds. The interval is too long for this to be a CPU issue, so my guess is that it's i/o or caching behavior. I'm currently running VLC 0.6.2 on 10.3.1, but this behavior has b...

OS X users have fewer options

OS X users probably favor VLC so much because we have few other options. For example, Apple's bundled DVD player doesn't de-interlace on older hw.
