Can someone convert this 0.8x command line to 0.9x

[FFMG]

Hi,

I have been a happy user of 0.86 for many months and I 'upgraded' to 0.94.
I used to use Piger to start a recoring and this was the command line argument that I was using, (and of course it was working fine).

Code: Select all

-vvv mms://myserver.com :sout=%vlc_transcode%:std{access=file,mux=mpeg1,dst=c:\\test.mpg}

This used to work flawlessly in 0.86 but now it does not work anymore, the error I get is

Streaming / Transcoding failed:
VLC could not open the encoder.

I can I get the command line arguments to work again?

Thanks

What OS ?

What OS ?

Well, it is WinXP but I wouldn't have thought it mattered.
Are command line arguments OS specific?

mux=mpeg1 seems more than weird to me.

The transcode parameter is expanded to something wrong. Impossible to tell why because you did not include in your query.

Sorry what do you mean by query?

I already included the command line arguments,

Code: Select all

-vvv mms://myserver.com :sout=%vlc_transcode%:std{access=file,mux=mpeg1,dst=c:\\test.mpg}

What other information do you need?

There is no "#transcode{...}" section in your query (or commandline). Since you appear to have replaced it with "%vlc_transcode%".

Try this sout string, editing you #transcode{...} parameters accordingly (creating using the "Stream Output" section in VLC's Qt4 interface ):

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{vcodec="mp1v",vb="800",scale="1",acodec="mpga",ab="128",channels="2"}:std{access="file",mux="mpeg",dst="C:\test.mpg"}

i.e. mux should be "mpeg" not "mpeg1" AFAIK.

Sorry, you are right, I did not quote the query properly.

This is what I was using:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -vvv mms://foo.bar :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,acodec=mpga,vb=256}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=mpeg,dst=c:\\test.mpg}}

If I use that query I get the same error, "Streaming / Transcoding failed:VLC could not open the encoder."

Using the code you gave:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -vvv mms://foo.bar :sout=#transcode{vcodec="mp1v",vb="800",scale="1",acodec="mpga",ab="128",channels="2"}:std{access="file",mux="mpeg",dst="C:\test.mpg"}

Does not start recording at all and does not give any errors, (but it creates an empty file)

Sounds like your distro has removed MPEG emcoding
