Thanks for this advice, I tried HandBrake and it works fine for this purpose!

You might need to escape the \ characters in your string:
options= ":sout=#duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=c:\\doc\\test.mpg}}"

I have some BlueRay movies and I want to view them on different devices (e.g. mobile tablet). So I need an acceptable file size (5 GB instead of 35 GB) and a file format that can be used on different devices. But I don't want to loose too much quality. To reach that goal, I have to do the following:...

VLC terminates unexpectedly when I try to transcode some ts files to H264. The original file contains a "stutter" at a certain point, and thats exactly where VLC terminates transcoding. I don't matter if the transcoded file also contains the stutter or skips a second of the original movie,...

I have the same problem on my XP SP3 with VideoLAN 1.1.4. When I close the palyer, the icon in the toolbar at the right still is there. When I then shut down the system, the following error dialog with the title "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" pops up: Assertion failed! Program: C:\...

When I execute the following command on my Windows XP SP3 system with VLC 1.1.0, I can hear the audio, but the video is only black:

vlc.exe --vout-filter=crop --autocrop test.ts

Can anyone reproduce this problem?

I finally found out what the problem is. The crop-Filter doesn't work! After I deactivated this option, everyting works fine. For me, this issue is closed, because streaming works fine. I will open a new issue concerning the crop-problem: The command line vlc.exe --vout-filter=crop --autocrop test.t...

I assume that i have to use version 1.0.5 to make the dump, because newer versions have a problem with the stream. But I can not find the "dump" function in version 1.0.5. Do I neet to install some other software or am I simply too blind? Please give me some hints how to make a "dump&...

Captured streams work fine. I tested the following "Dums": 1) The drembox can record the TS-Stream to disk, and this is the same stream (not converted and not compressed) as it comes from the cable or sattelite (as far as I know). So I mounted the disk of the Dreambox to my PC (using Samba...

Yes, I am on Windows XP SP3, so I downloaded the Nightly Build of 16th July and did the following test with versions 1.0.5, 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.2 0: - Switch on the Dreambox, zap to a channel, keep it running and don't touch it - Determine the URL of the stream, it is http://192.167.1.10:8001/1:0:1:3...

Thanks for this reply. So, I will wait for 1.1.1.

By the way: You developers do a real real real good job!!! This VLC is an amazing Product!!! Keep on doing stuff like this!

No, captured files work fine. The problem only occures when I thry to stream over the net as mentioned above. I'm not sure if its a Windows problem or a general problem of of VLC. I don't have a Mac or Linux platform for testing. So, I also posted this problem in the general VLC froum, and there, th...
