[solved]on vlc 1.1.0 conversion doesn't work

[jahwoto]

Hi,

when using vlc 1.1.0 I stumbled upon something that doesn't works.
On a windows VISTA home premium 32bit.
With a core 2 duo and ati x1600 SERIES card
When trying to convert a video I always get a .ps file that's 4KB.
Please fix this.

Formats used to test it: theora + vorbis (ogg video) and VP8 + vorbis (webm).
Doing conversion to theora + vorbis with vlc 1.0.x works our great, there is an ogg video file that plays well.



There are also errors when playing webm files.
(Error: not supported, but it still plays.)

I have the same trouble on VLC 1.1.0 on a Win XP SP3 system. I can record in the native audio/video format; but the convert/stream function will no longer create MP3 files. I've gone back to the 1.0.5 revision and the conversion works well.

MP3 should work in VLC 1.1.1

Tried vlc 1.1.1 and saw that the problems where actually not a bug.

For default vlc adds .ps as a file extension.
If I choose ogg/ogm, a good practice would be to change it to .ogv which vlc doesn't do.
Also in the options for framerate or bitrate, there is no option to say that vlc has to use the framerate of the original, source file.
This is a very large inconvenience for people who use it regulary to transcode.

It's not a bug actually.
Hopefully upgrading solved the other posters problem as well.
