[vlc-devel] new libvlc transcoding (python)

[Fabian van der Werf]

Hi,

I got video playback with python bindings working, thanks Olivier!

On to transcoding:
I remarked that I could just pass commandline options to the MediaControl
object. For example, I just --no-fullscreen to ensure windowed playback.

I tried the same approach for transcoding:

import vlc

media = vlc.MediaControl(["test.avi", "--sout",
"#transcode{acodec=mp3,vcodec=mp2v}:std{access=file,mux=avi,dst=test2.avi}"])
media.start()

The same transcoding works perfectly on the commandline. Can someone
enlighten me?

Thanks,
Fabian

This is the output of vlc:
