Windows stream to MP4 crashes
Posted: 17 Dec 2008 19:06
I have found this problem on two entirely different installations of VLC 0.9.8a on Vista.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open capture device (test by playing it)
2) Select option to stream
3) Paste the following stream options in the text box at the bottom of the Stream tab
4) Press "Stream".
The same encoding and streaming settings work OK on Linux VLC 0.9.8a without crashing.
Interestingly, by mistake I put an "A" in the vb setting and it didn't crash. So this string works, albeit with unregulated video bandwidth.
The example shown here multicasts via RTP but I have experienced the same problem trying to send a unicast stream to a Wowza server.

Code: Select all
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=100,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=rtp{dst=239.255.12.42,mux=ts,port=1234}}
