vlc decoder not liking MP4S

[jerrygeis]

Below is the output from my VLC. My command line is:
vlc -vvv http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=192.168.1.12:8080}'

I have compiled ffmpeg with:
./configure --enable-shared --enable-decoder=g726 --enable-encoder=g726 --enable-libx264 --enable-pp --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-gpl --enable-libmp3lame --extra-cflags="-fPIC" --disable-vhook

How can I get vlc to play this MP4 stream?

I am compiling on centos 4 i386. vlc is 0.8.6c, ffmpeg is a svn checkout from jul 20.

Jerry

[jerrygeis]

I changed my command line to the following:

/usr/bin/vlc -vvv http://192.168.1.115/img/video.asf --sout '#std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=:8080}'

and I now got video. I think the muxer off was the issue.


When viewing this port 8080 with vlc or mplayer the delay of the video is very small.
However, when viewing this video with Windows media player the delay is HUGE.

What might I be able to do so as to provide windows media player with the
correct format so the delay is small.

THanks,

Jerry
