VLC 2.0.4 command line transcode crash

[Johnvb]

system: Windows XP Professional.
VLC media player: 2.0.4

When I transcode a Video MPEG-2 to MPEG-4, codec H.264 via GUI interface it works fine
standard Profile used: Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4)

Sources are from DVB-T recorded on Hyundai M-BOX (Fine box!)
Codec : MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv)
Résolution : 720x576
Débit d'images : 50
Format décodé: Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Output Video: Audio:
Résolution : 720x576 Codec : MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga)
Codec : H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) Langue : Français
Résolution : 720x576 Canaux : Stéréo
Débit d'images : 25 Fréquence d'échantillonnage: 44100 Hz
Format décodé: Planar 4:2:0 YUV Débit : 128 kb/s
good quality, no difference with the source, size about 1/5 of the source, very fine.

I have a lot of video files to transcode (some hundred) so I am looking for doing that through batch or program call.
For that, first I experiment transcoding syntax using the command line:

VLC "D:\DTemp\mpeg2file.TS" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,deinterlace}
:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="I:\ITemp\Convertfile.mpg"}

VLC screen flash and crash . An output file is created with length=0
If I put single quotes around --sout parameters as found in some forum entries or Wiki, VLC GUI screen is displayed without any message and nothing else done. I experiment other parameters whith the same results.

Is something wrong in my command or syntax?
Have somebody experiment the command line trancode in V2.0.4
Thanks for any help.

Notes: 1/ I declared VLC path in Windows registry so i don't need it in the command line
2/ comman line VLC "D:\DTemp\mpeg2file.TS" works fine, displaying the video
3/ Is a log file in V2.0.4? Where? Are settings for?

Hi, This uses "acodec=mpga" to give MPEG Audio Version 1 Layer 2.

VLC "D:\DTemp\mpeg2file.TS" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,deinterlace}
:std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="I:\ITemp\Convertfile.mpg"}

This uses "acodec=mp3" to give MPEG Audio Version 1 Layer 3.

I think there is something wrong with the mp3 encoder in VLC-2.0.4.
Look here ---> viewtopic.php?f=14&t=105623

It's right. I Launch this same commande line but with acodec=mpga and it works fine

A thousand of thanks. Best regards
