Create VLC Batch File

[xtonys]

Hi guys

Im new to this site. I searched around and have almost achieved what I need...
I want to create a batch file that will launch vlc and have it start streaming from an http camera stream to a TS file

This is what I managed so far, by copying the text from vlc when I manually setup a new stream....

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\
vlc :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=file{dst="D:\Recorded TV\camera1.ts"},dst=display} :sout-all :sout-keep
PAUSE

vlc loads and I dont get any errors, but dont get a stream or I get some strange red/pink colour on the screen....

Would appreciate any help with this...

Thanks

Tony

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\
vlc :sout=#transcode.........

I cannot see your "input" line
Your command line should start somehow like this:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\
vlc "http://ip.of.your.cam" --sout=#transcode.....

I agree.
Vlc needs the same function as Handbrake, which can create a batch file with the complete commandline including all options
