Hi, is it possible to stream an yuv 4:2:0 in greyscale? I tried with:
cvlc -vvv cut.wmv --grayscale --sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264, vb=2000,acodec=none,height=360,width=640,aenc=fdkaac,ab=256}:std{mux=ts,access=udp,dst=192.168.1.157:4321}".
Does not work, the video still with colours .
I really need it, any help is welcome

--grayscale only works when decoding with avcodec. If your input is raw, it won't have any effect.

Firstly, thanks for your answer. So there is no way to keep use that video for stream it in grayscale?

Someone would have to write a video filter to clear chroma planes.

Ah, ok. Thanks so much
