[vlc-devel] problems transcoding to mpeg

[Marco Munderloh]

Hi,

there is a problem with the ffmpeg encoder (or it's control) in the
recent svn version of vlc, at least in the win32 version. The log
reports strange fps the encoder does not support. I attached a log where
I tried to transcode a MPG4 AVI to an MPEG2 TS Stream with the win32
version from http://vthr.via.ecp.fr - my own cygwin compile using the
contrib libraries (which are quite old) does the same so I guess not
ffmpeg is the problem. MPEG1 to MPEG2 transcode seems to work, though.

greetings,
  Marco
