How to specify chroma and pixel format with transcoding
Posted: 06 Jan 2020 00:41
I have just about managed to display a perfect 4k video display with audio from my Magewell capture in VLC using the below command line arguments:
However, the end goal is to wrap this capture card output into a transport stream so that it can be picked up by a third party PVR platform as a kind of IPTV proxy. When I add some RTP transcoding syntax in as per below, I now get two problems:
1) The signal opens in my VLC session, but is of much lower quality than when using the above. I presume this is because the chroma and pixel format are missing. I have tried adding these in as transcode parameters, but it makes no difference to the picture quality.
2) If I open a second VLC session and attempt to connect to the RTP stream I am only getting audio. No picture.
Can anyone advise as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
