Hi,

I'm trying to encode and stream in h264 but when I try to do this, VLC crashes almost instantly after starting the streaming. There is no error message, just the standard Windows "This program encountered a problem..." WMV2 works but I want h264. I'm using the latest version of VLC.

How can I get h264 encoding to work?


Thanks.

I'm unable to make any of my streaming scripts work using 0.9.2. They are also h264 but I can't make WMV2 work either. All attempts cause VLC to crash > report send. I had to roll back to 0.8.6i to make things work again.

Here's an example of a command line which works perfectly in 0.8.6i but crashes on 0.9.2:

--sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=256,scale=1,width=320,height=240,fps=15,
acodec=mp2a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=:2979}}

Thanks for replying.

I'll try 0.8.6i then and see if it works any better.

Edit:
Yup, works perfectly in 0.8.6i.

Hi,
I was having similar issues with v0.9.9, was hoping it was fixed by this version?

I also managed to get my hands on a copy of 0.8.6i and it seems to encode in h264 without any issues.

Try 1.0.0 where this is fixed and this is faster.
