no sound after converting WMV

[pratfall]

I'm using this command to try to convert WMV to MPEG1 so I can do, well, anything with it:

vlc <infile> -I dummy --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=1024,acodec=mpga,ab=128}:std{mux=raw,dst=<outfile>,access=file}" vlc:quit


Pretty straightforward, and video seems to work, but I get no sound in the output file. Any ideas? thanks.

I have the same problem.
Sample input format:

Code: Select all

Format : Windows Media Video: Codec : WMV3 Codec/Family : VC-1 Codec/Info : Windows Media Video 9 Codec description : Windows Media Video 9 - Professional Audio: Codec : WMA2 Codec/Info : Windows Media Audio 2 Codec description : Windows Media Audio 9.1 - 128 kbps, 48 kHz, stereo 2-pass VBR

Are there any restrictions on transcoding from WMA?

Hi,

I think I have the same issue when capturing a stream ?
cfr my post viewtopic.php?f=14&t=46608

Any progress cq ideas on how to work around this ?

Thanks.

Give us more messages.

For the file above I used the following command line (on Win2K):

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv test.wmv --sout #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=256,fps=25,max-width=320,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=test.mp4}}

VLC sends the following messages:
