Hi,
I do not see the bug in this:

vlc c:\temp\convert\IMGP1295.avi --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp1v, acodec=mpga}:std{access=file, mux=mpeg1,url=c:\temp\mpg\file-1.mpg}'
^ ^ ^ ^
but all I get is the regular GUI with a playlist showing the comandline split in 4 parts where I marked with "^"
convert\IMGP1295.avi
convert\acodec=mpga}:std{access=file,
convert\mux=mpeg1,
convert\url=c:\temp\mpg\file-1.mpg}'

it seems it has problems with the commas

Any advice (or RTFM with page and line is welcome
thanks

Just don't use spaces.

I supposed that it is the problem because your ^ are not aligned (perhaps with using BB code's "code" tag it'd work though)

nope, it is because of the "," (commas)! There is no space in front of "url", still it splits up!
and the <'> should have made it one parameter for sout

There is a whitespace before acodec and mux
so correct one would be

Hi
THAT would have been too easy. the whitespaces are not the problem:

If I run this on XP the transcoded video is a MPEG1 container with MPEG2 codec. (Acording to Gspot)
It feels like a bug. Or am I missing something?
The old VLC version 0.8 produces MPEG1 container with MPEG1 codec.

Please enlighten me!! This is causing me trouble!

What does tool called Mediainfo say about the file?
