Streaming / Transcoding failed error

Windows XP
VLan 0.9.6 (just upgraded from 0.8.6)
When trying to stream via RTP/UDP, I get:
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
VLC could not open the encoder.
I've tried every streaming profile, but always get the above error. The stream begins, but only audio is present. It all worked fine in the older version list above.

Also to add...
I completely removed the old version before I installed the new one. I verified that %appdata%/vlc was deleted.

Could you paste your transcoding line?

Sure... Interestingly enough, I was able to steam a different .AVI file without fail. I can include info on the successful file if required.
The file below was resulting in the error. I've included the transcoding line and GSPOT info on the same file.
Code: Select all
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=rtp{dst=192.168.1.103,mux=mp4,port=1234,port-audio=1235,port-video=1236}}
Here's what GSPOT said about the file:

And just FYI, VLC 0.8.6i streamed the above file perfectly, whereas 0.9.6 will not.

The only differences between the info that GSPOT spit out was the codec versions:
The file that would not stream was listed as XviD 1.2 SMP
And the file that streamed with no problem was listed as XviD 1.1.2 Final
Would VLC 0.9.6 not be able to utilize XviD 1.2 SMP?

Your post seems to lack messages, so noone can really understand what your problems is.
To fix this, please be sure to:
Give your Operating System and VLC media player version
Copy paste the messages VLC gives you when opening the messages dialog with verbosity set to 2
Funny, I can see my posts just fine... And when I went to quote YOU, your words would no populate in the reply window. Me thinks this site is having some issues: Invalid security certs, secure and non secure info alerts with EVERY page that loads from here, and obviously the malfunction with posts and replies.
I mentioned my OS and VLC version(s) at the top of the thread, but no worries. I'm going back to the version 0.8.6i as the the newer version cannot handle certain codecs correctly. VLC is great, but there's a lot more work to be done, obviously. I would gladly pay $$$ for a smoothly running version instead of complaining here for a free version's shortcomings.

If you don't set your verbosity to 2 in the messages window, it won't display the needed troubleshooting info.
