Convert wmv stream to flv

[makronaut]

Hi to everybody,

I am a complete noob on the field and I have to convert an existing wmv (windows media) stream and transcode it to an flv (flash video) stream.

I had tried to transcode the video with this command:

Code: Select all

vlc mms://media.consiglio.provincia.tn.it/published/20090611100940.wmv --sout "#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,acodec=mp3}:std{access=http,dst=0.0.0.0:8081/stream.flv}"

The vlc's dump to terminal is:

[00000423] access_mms access error: failed to open a connection (tcp)
[00000423] access_mms access error: failed to open a connection (tcp)
[00000423] access_mms access error: cannot connect to server
[00000423] access_mms access error: cannot read data 2
[00000419] main mux error: cannot add a new stream (unsupported while muxing to this format). You can try increasing sout-mux-caching value
[00000463] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (wma2)

I tried to view the generated stream using xine with the following command:

Code: Select all

xine http://0.0.0.0:8081/stream.flv

But xine shows just a green or grey screen.
xine dump to console is:

object not accessible
call failed
[flv @ 0x25a8ec0]warning: first frame is no keyframe

I need to do this transcoding as I have a Windows machine which works as an video mixer and more, but I have to convert the output for flash broadcasting through some other server which is flash based.

I am quiet desperate about the problem, so any help or suggestion on the matter will be realy appreciated.

The vlc version is 0.9.9a, ffmpeg library version is: svn.20090303

Thank you very much.
