Troubles with MPEG-4 channels' streaming

Hi all
I'm have a problem with subject - I have my Fedora Core 6 as a distro, skystar2 as a DVB-card, vlc-0.8.6f, and I want to stream into my LAN MPEG-4 channels (for example, from Yamal-201 Satellite on 90.0 degs, 3925 L, symbol rate 1116 - Pilot channel). For Universal LNB I have next string:

Code: Select all

vlc -v dvb:// --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-frequency=10973000 --dvb-srate=1116000 --dvb-voltage=13 --ts-es-id-pid --ttl 6 --programs=1 --sout='#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=IP:PORT},select="program=1"}'
But users can see only a scrambled picture, with some moments of action (channel logo, some faces, etc); sound goes perfect.
I think, problem in codecs - but what can I do for solving my problem? In plans, I have stream 4 or 5 channels from another Sat (if test on this one channel will be perfect :) )

Fedora Core 6 is end of life...( was until December 2007 ).
Please tell if you experience this problem with a supported Fedora version.

On the other side, maybe that would need a v4l2 module that is only available in pre 0.9.0 version
I have a pre-compiled livna compatible package here for F-8:
rpm -ivh http://rpms.kwizart.net/kwizart-release-8.rpm
yum --enablerepo=kwizart-testing install vlc mozilla-vlc

You will probably need to disable the XvMC module (don't work at least with nVidia XvMC)
rm -rf /usr/lib/vlc/codec/libxvmc_plugin.so

Thanks for answer :)
I don't have have this file (libxvmc_plugin.so) in my vlc codecs directory, and don't have an opinion to test on Fedora8 - in 3-4 days only :(
Google search gives me only one link, where has been adviced to use older version (0.8.5) - but for me result was same as for 0.8.6f, 0.8.6d and 0.8.6b.

Now this configuration streams into LAN 4 DVB-channels (MPEG2 transcoded by DivX-codec) from 2 cards, but I need to stream MPEG4 channels without transcoding on the server

Another question: how can I play MPEG4-channels locally?
This vlc-starting crashes it with Segmentation Fault error:

Code: Select all

vlc -v dvb:// --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-frequency=10973000 --dvb-srate=1116000 --dvb-voltage=13 --ts-es-id-pid --ttl 6 --programs=1
