transcoding question ?

OK, so I have a stream from my Panasonic IP webcam that I can access from VLC by connecting to..

rtsp:// 192. 168.1.253 /nphMpeg4/g726-320x240

I cannot get sound from this stream on my Blackberry, presumably because it does not understand the g726 audio codec. But VLC can play the entire stream, SO..

Can I transcode just the audio portion to mp4a (leaving the mp4v untouched) and send it out of VLC? If so, what would the code be?

Thanx

Current VLC versions cannot encode to MPEG-4 Audio (decoding is OK) due to software licensing incompatibilities.

I see..

What about one of these audio codecs?

AAC-LC
AAC+
eAAC+
AMR-NB

Supposedly my Blackberry supports those.

AAC is just another name for MPEG-4 Audio.
AMR is not supported at all (decoding and encoding) due to code licensing incompatibilities.

I saw H264+MP4A in encode menu of vlc stream. is mp4a really broken in R103?

and I remember a hardware decoder test result before. there is bad audio issue with vlc086's mp4a. but it is OK for vlc1.0.x's mp4a.

so I think R1.0.x fix some mp4a bug as always. Am I right?

So I am gathering that previous versions of VLC support encoding mp4a. Is that correct?
