mms (WMV3 codec) audio/video channel selection in VLC

Postby Greendq » 01 Oct 2009 16:01

Hi!

As i know, it is possible to extact specific language track from multilanguage video file. It is working fine by specifying "--audio-track=number" for file - for example,

Code: Select all

vlc --audio-track=22 1.wmv
will extract 22nd track from multilanguage video.

But (even using last version 1.0.2) I was unable to extract (specify) language track from realtime (streaming) video. I used European Parliament Tv as streaming source for my experiments - as they stream multilanguage video (in this particular case I used

mms://livewms.europarl.europa.eu/reflector:58779

for tests, you can see inside asx files offered by their page at http://www.europarl.europa.eu/wps-europ ... anguage=en).

VLC see only one (default?) audio track. But if I open this video in Windowm Media Player 11 - it see all language track and allow switching.

I do not know if this is specific to windows version, so I want to ask if it is possible to extract specified audio (and video track, as WMV/MP4 support this feature) from live streams, not only files?

I want use VLC for transcoding such videos in realtime, so WMP11 is not a suitable solution for me :roll:

P.S. I tried --audio-language=langcode (like ro, en, etc) - it is not worked too.

Heh, I found how to ask VLC fetch all tracks - I must add "--mms-all" to the command line, which is disabled by default. But it opens 3 windows - each window has it`s own resolution. How it is possible to indicate which video "channel" I want to see?
