Hi

I am trying to use vlc for encoding to a darwin server. First I wanted to check if everything was ok by storing a local file. And it turned out that the sound plays back at too high a pitch. I am grabbing from a camera with the following vlc command:
"vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0:norm=pal:size=640x480:channel=0,adev=/dev/dsp:audio=1 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mp3,vb=1000,ab=256,deinterlace}:std{access=file,mux=avi,url=/root/test.avi}'"

this results in a avi fil, where the picture is perfect, but the sound is out of sync at too high a pitch. mplayer gives the following message:
"marker bit missing before vop_coded
hmm, seems the headers arnt complete, trying to guess time_increment_bits
My guess is 5 bits"

I have also tried with acodec=mpga with the same result. Also I have made sure that no artsd or esd is running as stated in the FAQ.

Has anyone seen this from mplayer before, or got an idea to what is wrong?

could you please try reading the file with VLC and give us the log ?

Thank you for a quick response time. The log from vlc follows here:

Playback in vlc gives the same result, the sound outruns the video and actually end before the videostream.
