command for h264 stream

[tonj]

I'm running a centos 6.4 server (command line only) with vlc v1.1.3
I've been streaming video from an axis ip camera (with some success) with the following command:

cvlc http://<user>:<password>@<cam-ip-address>/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi? --sout '#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,vb=512,acodec=mpga,ab=64,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=0.0.0.0:8081/stream.flv}'

I would like to try streaming h264 and I've tried modifying the above command but I haven't been able to get it to work. I'm testing the stream using vlc on a windows 7 machine. How would I correctly modify the above command to stream h264?

vcodec=x264,vb=1200

thanks for that but it's not working. Maybe I am using the wrong command: I tried the edit you gave but I got:

do other parts of the command need to be altered as well?
