vlc transcode h.261 not work

Hi All,

I am trying to output H.261 transcode video using vlc version 1.0.2. The video source is v4l card. Using the following command:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=H261,width=176,height=144,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=display, dst=rtp{dst=0.0.0.0,port=6020,mux=ts,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:554/chnl1.sdp},dst=rtp{mux=ts, dst=192.168.10.104, port=1234}}

vlc do not have any stream output, but be able to display video on the screen.

However, if I change the H261 to H.263, it will work.

From vlc supported features web page, H.261 is listed though. Can anyone tell me if vlc version 1.0.2 support H.261. How can I find out? Or option I am missing in order to stream output transcode H.261 video?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Hello! Did you get to any conclusion on this matter? I'm trying to access an h.261 multicast stream with VLC and I'm not being able! Is that a VLC support limitation on this codec? With MPEG-2 is working fine.

Thanks!
