Transcoding MP4/MPEG4/AAC rtsp to MP3/MPEG1 http

Hello VLC Gurus!

Ok, so this is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to transcode an MP4/MPEG4/AAC live rtsp stream to a MP3/MPEG1 live http stream.

I'm already transcoding other streams successfully with the following command:

Code: Select all

vlc "http://URL" :sout='#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=shout{mp3=1,protocol=icy},mux=mpeg1,url=source:user@localhost:8000/test.mp3}}' -q --intf dummy
but once I try replacing the URL with an MP4 stream, it doesn't work! Here is one of the streams I've tried to test with: [url]rtsp://sm-xserve.cws.oregonstate.edu/kbvrfmstream.sdp[/url]

Now, if I try playing this URL directly in my local VLC player and open it as an RTSP network stream, it usually works. (I still can't figure out why somtimes it doesn't.)

VLC Version is 0.8.6 Janus running on Gentoo 1.12.4.

So can anyone help me and send me in the right direction? I think what I need to do is change some of the options to get it to transcode corectly, but I'm not certain.

Please help! Thanks.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Is the problem I'm having due to an old version of VLC and I need to upgrade?
