mpeg2 encoding might be broken in current svn (due to a bug in ffmpeg svn which was fixed today)

the result of the transcoding mkv h264 and aac to the mpeg2 is the same with videolan 0.9.0 at 28/09/06

do you know the solution ?

I have the same issue. I can't succeed to transcode an H264 AAC file to an MP2V stream. I'm Using this really nice piece of software : VLC 0.85 under XP.
Here is my playlist. (I duplicate video to see the result )
The resulting image is made of big slobbery square.. My processor reaches 98 % of use especially when i'm displaying debug messages.

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#transcode:std
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-ab=256
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-acodec=mpga
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vb=2600
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vcodec=mp2v
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-vt=1000000 
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-transcode-fps=25.0 
#EXTVLCOPT:file-caching=1000 
#EXTVLCOPT:subsdec-encoding=ISO-8859-1 
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#duplicate{dst=transcode:std,dst=display,select=video} 
#EXTVLCOPT:audio-desync=1000
#EXTVLCOPT:sub-track=1
#EXTVLCOPT:audio-track=1
D:/incoming/MyHolidayMovie.[x264.HP.He-Aac.5.1].mkv@:0

If someone has any Idea of what is wrong with this playlist please tell me.

thanx in advance

Hello, 1st post to the board

I'm having the same problem with VLC 0.8.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.7 Intel. I cannot stream mpeg2 from X.264 mp4 files, all I get is green blobs. Any ideas?

edit: typo

it's due to a bug in ffmpeg
it seems that it was recently fixed by ffmpeg team, but we are waiting for other bugfixes to update our ffmpeg version.

so 0.8.6 _MAY_ fix the problem when it will be released

Great news, Let's hope it will be corrected in the next VLC release
