transcode works on Win-7, but fails on OS X

Postby SarasotaSlim » 18 May 2015 04:24

Ok, been trancoding from cmd-line for 3 or 4 years now with VLC (under Windows).

Recently, I had need to try the same on a MacBook Pro (under latest OS X "Yosemite" release),
but it won't start. :(

The bash cmd-line I'm using has been reduced to its essence...it is :arrow:

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -vvv --sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=400,venc=x264,acodec=mp3}
:std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="/Users/slim/myvideo.mp4"} "/Users/slim/mkv-files/myvideo.avi"

[ My guess is that I must either have a VLC installation/config error, or that some default preference needs a tweak. ]

Can anyone deduce the problem?

TIA...

HINT: My common VLC-usage is to transcode (via 'sout') to add on-screen 'Marquee' info,
and for that, I still use VLC v2.0.5, since marquee metadata-expansions ($-symbols) work there.

[ The VLC-version 2.x code beyond 2.0.5 remains 'broken' for that marquee functionality, tho there IS
an open and accepted bug-report on that...i.e. ticket #9514 ]

Re: transcode works on Win-7, but fails on OS X

Postby TWC515 » 16 Jun 2015 07:23

Just downloaded the VLC Media Player to my MacBook Pro with the intention of transcoding an .mts file into an .mp4 file. Tried to use the simple GUI to accomplish the transcoding, but everything I press the "Save" button, the program completely crashes. Any ideas on how to successfully complete the transcoding without crashing the program?
