I also tried the rc interface with --no-rc-quiet and --rc-quiet, no change. Plus I tried setting the host and port of the rc interface, but the connection was refused (ie no listening port)

I am running VLC 1.1.3 under windows XP (32 bit) I am trying to play with the RC interface, but can't seam to get it to work When I run the command "vlc --intf rc" the prompt immediately returns and if I open the Task Manager, i can see an instance of VLC running... even through there is n...

At verbosity level 1, I am getting some when I play a video on the lowest powered computer while turning off gpu decoding I assume that means that i am getting dropped frames

I have three machines that I want to run VLC on. Is there a benchmark feature that I can use in VLC to see how well each machine is doing a playback? My idea is to use a standard "stressful" set of test files on each machine. I have an Acer Revo 3610, I have a Dell Alienware m17x, and I ha...

I have a solution that works now... I am using 1.1.3 win32 --sout=#transcode{vcodec=HFYU,acodec=s16l}:std{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=avi},dst=test-huff-raw.avi} that exports an AVI file that can be read in virtualdub, etc (I just need huffyuv 2.1.1 installed)... I tried using the RV24 vcodec (which ...

here is another example Imagine I have a real media file and I want to use it in Adobe Premiere for a project. Premiere can't read the .rm file itself, so I would use VLC and the -sout command to export it into a format that can be used by Premiere. As Premiere can read AVISynth scripts, if I can co...

4) There is no encoder if you decode to raw. This question makes no sense. what I am trying to do is export a lossless copy of what would have been played on the screen/speakers if i had played the file normally through VLC If I run the command %VLC% --video-filter=postproc --postproc-q=6 --norm-bu...

-I dummy does nto stop the command line in windows, it just pops up a second window

andd i don't want hurry up... so it is good it is off by default

I have some questions about streaming to a file. I need to be able to test various encoder tools vs my target platform (VLC). I want to make sure that the A/V sync is not skewed at the encoder level. I was told by a dev on IRC that I could use the -sout to test that... so 1) Is the audio and video t...

ok, i used virtualdub to export an uncompressed AVI, and then inspected the fourCC of it... "RGB "

vlc bsgtest.mpg --sout=#transcode{vcodec="RGB ",acodec=s16l}:file{dst="test-rgb-wav.mkv"} vlc://quit

that does not work, no video stream is output

Using this as my reference file http://otakuvideo.com/~quu/BSGTest.mpg vlc bsgtest.mpg --sout=#transcode{vcodec=HFYU,acodec=s16l}:file{dst="test-huff-wav.mkv"} vlc://quit 2,148,061,033 bytes, mediainfo shows both video and audio tracks, looks fine playable file, media info seams to be fine...

This is my plan for testing A/V sync using VLC
http://quu.livejournal.com/819616.html

I will be experimenting with the -sout params I guess

btw, now that I think about things some more... this is not as bad as it looks. the MKV and the AVI are pretty much in sync with each other... which my synthetic testing has shown. The reason the AVI and the FAAC MKV were out of audio sync with thier respective video could very easily be my computer...

OK, i can't figure out any other way to test the A/V sync of various files with VLC than using a camcorder (all files can be referenced here) http://otakuvideo.com/~quu/vlc%20timings/ given the "test - Original.avs" was rendered an an uncompressed AVI then that AVS file was rendered with x...

I just took a snapshot of VLC playing the test.mp4 at frame 4,000, http://pics.livejournal.com/quu/pic/0005gtwh as you can see, when played back, the video is in sync (sadly, i can't test the audio this way), but when i watch and listen, the audio apears to be in sync (ie could be withing a frame of...

btw, I tried using the GUI to export this MP4 as a new MP4 (ie i wanted to use VLC to re encode the test.mp4 from above to a new test-recode.mp4) and the resulting reencode had no audio. If i play test.mp4 in VLC, i hear the audio. Again, from a "fresh" vlc 1.1.2 I did the following Start ...

This is with VLC 1.1.2 under windows XP Also, default install (the vlcrc and all the files in that directory were deleted and automatically rebuilt when VLC started) I generated a clip using AVISynth (basically a wave form of the audio with a time code), encoded that clip with x264, FAAC, and mp4box...

is the MKV export up to snuff? I can't figure out how to export an uncompressed video... i don't see the option (unless it is command line only) anyway, I open up VLC 1.1.2 I go Media->Convert/Save I add the mpeg-4 test file I want to convert to uncompressed, and then i click the "Convert/Save&...

I have been doing some testing about audio/video sync with h.264 video and MP3 and AAC audio , and I was curious about how easy it would be to test the sync with VLC. When I export a file with VLC, is the timings of the file just like it had been played? Also, is it possible to export in uncompresse...

never mind, i guessed, and came up with this
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc --vout=yuv --yuv-file=test.yuv --aout=audiofil
e --audiofile-file=test.wav BSGTest.mpg vlc://quit

it seams to work. I am noticing a pattern in the command lines for VLC

I am trying to export a video from VLC to a YUV file and an uncompressed WAV file I run the command line C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc --yuv-file=test.yuv --audiofile-file=test.wav BSGTest.mpg vlc://quit (the BSGTest.mpg is in the directory) and the video loads into VLC, plays, and then quits......

strange, 1.1.2 dialogs.fileSimple() brings up the same advanced dialog that dialogs.file() and playlist.add() does. I would expect playlist.add() to auto default to en queue instead of play, as i am adding files to the playlist, not "opening" them.

More notes for me dealing with playlists... there does not seam to be, withing the skins2 interface, the ability to change a playlist, other than to load, sort (alphabetically only), add to end, and delete. I can't move an item in the playlist except by adding it to the end, deleting all the items b...

mainly as a note to my self, i'll check when I am at home and can play with the source, but 1.1.2 under windows throws an assertion error when running dialogs.directory(). It lets me pick the directory, but seams to blow up when loading said directory. It is not due to a space in the directory name....

I need to spend more time on IRC J-B recommended I use http://www.virtualbox.org to setup linux on my machine. I can then do the easier linux build process, with out needing more hardware (My wife was going to kill me, I already have three computers in my den, adding a fourth would have been... a bi...
