please check my syntax

I'm new to this and app and seem to be not getting the command structure. I'm trying to convert raw dv to quicktime, both files are local. Here's my command line:

vlc /mnt/raid0/mmmcom/src-video/jose-sample.dv --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace}:
standard{access=file,url="/mnt/raid0/mmmcom/src-video/test.mov"}'

should this work? any obvious mistakes?

fyi, here's the error that was returned:

Remote control interface initialized, `h' for help
[00000215] main private error: no sout stream module matched "transcode"
[00000214] main stream output error: stream chained failed for `transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace}:

looks like you don't have a mux in the output, or require file:// before the input. Here's mine for transcoding a TS to H.264

Code: Select all

./clivlc -vvv file:///Users/geo/Movies/vlc-output.ts --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp4a,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace} :std{access=file,mux=mp4,url="/users/geo/Movies/out.mp4"}}'
