Recording skips first few moments

Postby gottski » 30 Apr 2019 15:13

Hello!

Is there any way to remove any "delay" when recording movie scenes? Using the "Record" button just "skips" first few moments.

No! VLC don't know the "smart rendering"; the recording start always at the next keyframe.
If lucky -> no delay!

But could there be a setting in Preferences that might remove the delay ?

Maybe someone could help with this.

Hi, the "delay" is there because it happens at demux time, whereas what you see on screen is what has been decoded and is at the right date for display. In between, there's what has been demuxed and decoded but not displayed yet, which cannot go "back" to the demux. In addition, new stream needs to start with a keyframe as noted by Ed Edison, so it can only be the "next" keyframe, or else you need to decode and re-encode everything, which is very expensive.

Basically the record button from the interface works exactly like the record button of a TV tuner.
