Trouble with Webcam/Mic to File Transcoding

[rsaccon]

Hello all, this is my first post here, just started recently to play with vlc and I did not manage to capture Webcam / Mic and transcode it to File. I use VLC 0.82 and I am on Windows XP. Just playback or just capturing (with preview) works fine.
I tried with and without wizard, but the result was always the same: the output file reamained empty.

Is this feature not working on VLC 0.82 / WIndows XP ? Or am I doing something wrong and does there maybe exist somewhere an "idiot proof" how-to ?

The second part of the question is about doing the same from the webbrowser plugin. I am a developer myself and to me it seems that the Mozilla/ActiveX-BrowserPlugins only expose javascript funcitions for playback-control. Well, is the transcoding functionality just not exposed or is it provided by VLC-Plugins, which are not part of Mozilla/ActiveX-Browserplugins ??

am I the only one not able to transcode Mic/Webcam capture into a file ? There must be some stupid mistake I am doing. Below are the errormessages I am getting:

the second part of my original question I answered myself by looking at the sources, but for the first part, I am waiting "desperately" for an anwser, how to transcode from cam/mic into a file.
