vlc:quit

[satya]

hi,
I am having a bit of problem with vlc:quit at the end of command line. My command line is like this:

$ vlc -I dummy --sout="#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,acodec=mpga}:std{access=file,mux=asf,url=temp.asf}" videos/temp.mpg vlc:quit
VLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus
[00000246] main playlist: adding playlist item `vlc:quit' ( vlc:quit )
[00000246] main playlist: adding playlist item `videos/temp.mpg' ( videos/temp.mpg )
[00000250] dummy interface: Using the dummy interface module...

[00000246] main playlist: deleting playlist item `videos/temp.mpg'
[00000246] main playlist: deleting playlist item `vlc:quit'

VLC is quitting; but my ouput file is getting truncated to a few bytes; if I dont use vlc:quit, I am getting a proper output file but I need to press ctrl+c to quit vlc; please help! i need to use vlc:quit !

use vlc input :sout=.... vlc:quit so it doesn't try to transcode the vlc:quit

Thanks; it helped a lot!

It doesnt work that way with ver 0.8.2 though, but works fine with 0.8.4 (I upgraded).
