I encoded a video with x264 GPL encoder in two passes in order to have very good video quality. I tried two formats: raw H264 and MP4 container.
I can play the video file with VLC, but when I enable "transcode" function in UDP or HTTP for example, the video won't play correctly nor stream in another instance.
I think there is an error while reader the headers because the video played is very large.
Someone has a solution or the same problem?

What is the resolution of the file you created?
What is your machine (CPU & GPU)?
If you open your Task Manager while playing the video, what is the CPU usage?
Are you trying to watch the video on the same machine you are trying to stream from?
Have you tried looking at Messages for errors just playing the video and again while trying to stream the video?

The file I encoded is 360x288.
Encoded with VLC: streaming OK
Encoded with x264: playing OK, but streaming in error.
When I'm just playing in VLC it uses less than 5% of CPU (I have a P4 Dual Core 3Ghz).
I tried to watch the video on the same machine and on another and the result is the same.
I'll try to paste some debug messages...

Really this should work. But I have encountered some rather strange issues making H.264 files using x264 and playing the files in VLC.
1. If you correct the delay between audio and video much beyond a couple hundred MS, VLC may not work correctly and or refuse to play the file.
2. Currently it is recommended that raw AVC files not be used to mux to the final result with audio, Subtitles and or Chapters. You should mux the raw AVC file to MP4 or AVI before doing the final mux in whatever container. I have even found differences in the muxing order effecting the smoothness of the video.
I have not tried to stream this format yet:
1. Because of the overhead and lack of hardware support for video cards.
2. Because of starting issues that seem to have something to do with certain values in the header not being recognized correctly.
While VLC has made some corrections in this regard, I think it will take others to correct the problem also. AVC is new as as such is still in the experimental stage. The updates are ongoing for everyone.
Considering your system. Have you tried assigning VLC to 1 processor? A few users have stated a problem with timing that shouldn't exist.

I see the problem. But there are only 2 players in existence (to the best of my knowledge) that will play raw .264 or .h264 files. VLC and MPlayer. Mplayer tries to pull the framerate out of the file. But the frame rate is not a requirement for H.264. I don't believe VLC does this as there is no reporting for frame rate, nor does it appear to run on speed.
When the file is muxed into a container the default frame rate for most muxers is 25fps. So you must specify the frame rate in any muxer even though the frame rate may be in the header information for the file. Understand that most formats are dealt with in the same manor. However recently one of the developers for x264 posted with GPAC (MP4) a way to automatically use the internal frame rate of a file made with x264. This is of coarse assuming that the option was turned on when the file was made. From what I have seen thus far this also appears to be true for any program that makes AVC files not only x264.
What this all means to you! There is no way a program can play or stream a raw h.264 file properly without being able to determine the frame rate of the file and at present this appears to be an impossible task for a raw file in the AVC format. The posting by the x264 developer does pose a solution to this problem but who knows how long it will take for others to implement it?????
There is an easy answer here! It was described in my earlier post! Mux the file first and give it a frame rate.
This will at least put you on a proper path not saying that it will work when it comes to h.264 for reasons I have already described, but you do have a chance this way. One user says the one out of twenty tries does work and I'm sure these odds will improve in the future.
