Change DAR-flag in live stream? (aspect ratio)
Posted: 28 Jun 2007 23:47
Hello everyone,
I’m using VLC to send a mpegstream created by my capture device Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 to my networkplayer. This works fine, the only thing is, the stream is 4:3 while the original footage (camera) is 16:9.
I did some research on the internet and what happens is the following: the capture device puts a ‘DAR-flag’ (Display Aspect Ratio-flag) into the mpegstream so the networkplayer thinks it should be played this way.
There’s is software to change this flag (DVDPatcher for example) after recording a file. But I need to change this flag REALTIME, so the stream stays live AND has the correct aspect ratio.
My question is:
Is VLC capable of doing this? If so, how does this work? If not, does anyone know an application that is?
Many thanks in advance!
