streaming tv with transcode

[dignified]

I am trying to stream tv with vlc according to the example on this page:
http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-ho ... oding.html

The only thing I made different was changing norm to NTSC.
I compiled transcode without any special options and here is where the output starts to look like it isn't working. Seems that something in transcode isn't right.

Here is some of my output.

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is but I got the streaming from a v4l device through VLC to work with the following input at the command line:

vlc –vvv v4l:/dev/video0:norm=pal:frequency=0:size=640x480:channel=1:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0 –sout ‘#duplicate{dst=display,dst=”transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=9000,ab=256,vt=800000,keyint=80,deinterlace}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=displayprocessor”}’

This command allowed the image captured to be displayed where the stream was originating as well. To stop that simply remove the duplicate{dst=display,dst=" bit (retaining the #).

For my purpose (non-tv station capture) the frequency was set to 0. The channel for the card that I used (an Osprey-210) was 0 for composite input and 1 for S-video input.

I hope that this helps.

It looks like you didn't compile your VLC with ffmpeg support which the "transcode" module depends upon. So your VLC doesn't have any transcoding capabilities.
