[streaming] Re: Windows Batch File

[James]

Hey! it works!

For future reference, or anyone else having this problem, there is NO 
SPACE between --sout=#transcode{} and :duplicate{}

so make it;

--sout=#transcode{options}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="F:\mp4\capture.mp4"}}

So, in full, a Windows batch file (.bat) for VLC to capture to a file 
should look like this;

vlc -vvv dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000" 
:dshow-adev="Logitech Microphone (Pro 4000)" :dshow-size="320x240" 
:dshow-fps=25 :no-dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner 
--sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=256,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="F:\mp4\capture.mp4"}}

and this bit gave me trouble as well, so here's how to use the 
:duplicate section itself.

:duplicate{dst=std{access=file/udp/mms/http,mux=ts/ps/mpeg1/asf/mp4,dst="fully 
qualified destination, quotated"}}

And dst should always equal std

Sorry about the mess

Cheers

James
