streaming screen errror

Postby csmith3texscan » 22 Nov 2013 17:44

WIN7 64 bit
Intel i3-2100
VLC 2.1.1

Trying to stream desktop to file:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=2000,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:file{dst=C:\\testfile3.ts,no-overwrite} :sout-all :sout-keep

I get an error:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'screen://'. Check the log for details.

Where is the log??

This works fine on an old XP machine with the same settings, but not on this Win7 machine.
Any ideas?
