Hi,

I have some throuble transcoding youtube flv's to ogg Vorbis or Theora. Vorbis gave me an empty file and Theora a video without audio . I tried other flv's and they transcode well. The Error message I recieve is:

"vorbis error: CBR mode initialisation failed"

I'm using 0.9.8a now but the problem was in 0.9.0 too. Using Soundconverter I've no problem to transcode the video but I need vlc =)

Problem is solved. On the vlc irc the gave me a hint.

vlc -vvv 3.flv ":sout=#transcode{acodec=vorb,channels=2,ab=128}:std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst="4.ogg"}"

has to be replaced by

vlc -vvv 3.flv ":sout=#transcode{acodec=vorb,channels=2}:std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst="4.ogg"}" --sout-vorbis-quality 5
