turn off realtime transcoding

I am having trouble with VLC's x264 transcoding. One problem is that it seems to do realtime transcoding. If my computer (Intel Wolfdale E8400 @ 3.0 GHz) cannot keep up, it will skip frames. I tested this by first transcoding at a scale of 0.5. The video came out fine. Then I bumped up the scale to 0.8. The video came out very fidgety. Do you know how to turn off this realtime transcoding and allow VLC to take as long as it wants?

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vvv "D:\source.mov" --sout=#transcode{vb=900,scale=0.5,venc=x264{subme=7,ref=6,bframes=1},vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,ab=128,threads=2,audio-sync}:standard{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="D:\output.mp4"} --stop-time=30 vlc://quit
Another problem is that audio is never synched with video no matter if I have "audio-sync" in my transcode block or not.

Try streaming to a file (and do not display video during transcoding) to see if it helps. :-)

Let me know of what happens.
