Transcoding mpeg4 video to mpeg2 video
Posted: 25 Jan 2010 10:55
I have noticed that if I stream a live mpeg4 video stream and transcode to mpeg2 video.
If the streaming is finished the mpeg file is playable but if the mpeg file is still being created I cannot start playing it.
For other types of input stream this is possible.
Does anyone know if this is a known limitation of mpeg 4 video or more likely to be something wrong with my settings.
Thanks,
Michael
Code: Select all
vlc %url% --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=4000,fps=30,scale=1,width=720,height=576,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst='test.mpg'}}" --sout-transcode-audio-sync For other types of input stream this is possible.
