Avi support

[sash]

hi there I tried a divx . transcoded it the movie was 2.01.55 in length after transcoding it reported that it was 2.01.53 so I lost 2 seconds.. the audio offset is a little big but is toterable... but codec played it. I used mediaplayer classic to play it windows media player reports it as 2.01.54 . so the time line works fine here for me ff and rew worked fine in these programs... I also built a graph using gb-pvr push source and hooked it up to the transcoded file ( as being transcode) it worked fine..

but I did not transcode at such a hi bitrate as you . i used the default 1024 and mpeg1.. since it for viewing and transcoding purpose. would think this would suffice.

perhaps your computer is running out of gas and things are being dropped. also I used vlc 7.2.2

The computer was a 2.4 ghz with 512 ram. Version 7 is not availabe for download anymore.

sure it is. ( just have to know how) just put ftp infront of the vlc web url.

ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/vlc/

also you can get the latest beta this way too .

ok I got the quit to work. It seems that the mvp has no problem with streaming a file while it is being written to.

Sash, thanks for the link. I might use it later for the DTS support.

FF works well skip does not.

Well it seems like we might actually have a solution here. I will try to post a new xrecord tonight with limited divx support.

In a few days (I have to go out of town for the weekend) I will write a process that kills all vlc.exe processes so when you stop transcoding we can kill any that might still be running. For now I will just delete the mpg file.

version 14 posted on wiki. When not if you have any problems post it here.

Hey Jorm,

I don't actually use Divx/Xvid, but i'll certainly create a few and try out this plugin. Congrats to all involved with getting this far. It look slike this may open a few doors to more possibilites,

Cheers,
Colin.

Sorry guys, I just became a father last Friday so the VLC-transcoding stuff slipped my mind for a few days

Nice to hear it works - I'll test in a couple of days

I'll take a week off to play with my new toy...

l8ter!

VLC eats almost anything, http://www.videolan.org/streaming/features.html

Congrats on becoming a father. I get to do that again in April.

I need to work on a executable for killing a process given the process name. So when we stop transcoding we can kill the vlc process.

If we were to create an interface with VLC using STIN/OUT (this is one of the interfaces), in future there would be an option to FF, SKIP x mins and PAUSE etc, load new assets, quit vlc etc...

"RC and RTCI

These two interfaces allow you to control VLC from a command shell (possibly using a remote connexion or a Unix socket.

Start VLC with -I rc or --extraintf rc. When you get the Remote control interface initialized, `h' for help message, press h and Enter to get help about available commands.

To be able to remote connect to your VLC using a TCP socket (telnet-like connexion), use --rc-host your_host:port. Then, by connecting (using telnet or netcat) to the host on the given port, you will get the command shell.

To use a UNIX socket (local socket, this does not work for Windows), use --rc-unix /path/to/socket. Commands can then be passed using this UNIX socket.

The RTCI interface gives you more advanced options, such as marquee control for the marquee subpicture filter (See filter section)."
