mux_ps private: Open
[00000289] mpeg_audio packetizer: MPGA channels:2 samplerate:48000 bitrate:128
[00000304] ffmpeg encoder error: cannot find encoder MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3
[00000240] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot find encoder
[00000240] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot create audio chain

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm also using Ubuntu 5.04, but I encountered the same issue with VLC on Mac OS X and WinXP, so I don't think that it's distribution or even platform specific. Here's the command-line that I used:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv -I telnet test.mpg :sout='#transcode{acodec=MP3,vcodec=DIV3,ab=64,vb=256,width=320,height=240,deinterlace,channels=2}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8090}' vlc:quit

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

you have to compile VLC yourself to get mp3 encoding in debian with VLC (the packaged version doesn't include it fot license reasons)

I've tried to compile it... But i can't there is an ffmpeg_plugin error while compileing the sources... Maybe I will try it again...
