Will VLC transcode to ASX?

[geoholt3]

I have set up VLC to transcode my RTSP video stream to an ASF output stream that saves to my hard drive and it works great and looks great on my website.

What I want to do is set up VLC to transcode to ASX for a live stream to my website. I don't want to store any video.

Will VLC do this? I can't find the asx extention in the output list.

Thanks, George Denver

ASX is just a playlist format. You cannot transcode to ASX; it makes no sense.

Greg, this worked great, and got our project off the ground! Thanks. Now our developers want me to send the transcoded video to them via RTSP instead of HTTP. I used the Wizard to generate the code selelcting RTSP instead of HTTP, and it doesn't work. I've been reading other posts about people having problems with RTSP. Do you know how to get that to work?

Thanks, George
