sout and capturing output

Postby nkarnold » 30 Apr 2007 19:52

Hi everyone,

Is this possible.

I want to transcode a video to another format using #sout and i'm comfortable with the neccessary options and fully understand the -I interfaces for remote control, dummy, telnet etc.

But what I want is to run VLC gui-less and just have the information about whats being encoded in the same DOS window as the command was launched from. Pretty much like what ffmpeg.exe or mencoder.exe does. ?

Is this possible.

Thanks in advance

N

MENCODER/FFMPEG

They just output to the same console window that you started the exe from (same as doing a DIR or an LS from a shell prompt). And they simply report back.. The time encoded, position, frames per second etc.
