I am having no luck transcoding to h264. I have tried vlc version 2.0.0, 2.0.1 and 1.1.11.

In 2.0.1, it will crash immediatly.

In 2.0.0, I get repeated messages as so...

stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (113844)
stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (137389)
stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (130690)
stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (133881)
stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (138200)

In 1.1.11, I get repeated message as so...

avcodec error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)
main warning: late picture skipped (393670 > -227)
main warning: late picture skipped (395304 > -170)
main warning: late picture skipped (380670 > -127)
main warning: late picture skipped (424401 > -345)
main warning: late picture skipped (403401 > -345)

My original stream is in MPEG4 and here is the command line that i am using under windows 7.

vlc -vvv rtsp://10.0.0.194:7070 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264}:duplicate{dst=http{dst=:8080\stream.ts},dst=display} :sout-keep

Is there something I am doing wrong to transcode into h264?

Thanks

After making this post. I found out that it is known that h264 crashes on Windows 7. I will download and try the 2.0.2 nightly build.

Same results with 2.0.2. It doesnt crash but I get repeated messages as so...

stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (113844)

I am also having a similar issue transcoding into FLV1

In 2.0.2 and 2.0.1 I get the stream_out_transcode debug: late picture skipped (113844) messages.

In 2.0.0 I get this error:
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
VLC could not open the encoder.

In 1.1.11 it works fine.
