[vlc] Re: Streaming Subtitles & wmp with no video

[Madman]

You can try to transcode the text subtitles to a dvb sub track
(scodec=dvb in the transcode sout module arguments, I think, not sure
this will work), or to render them directly on the video (soverlay
transcode option)

soverlay option in combination with subt doesnt work, I've tried it
before. ( assinging with --sub-file also had no effect )
I'm still trying to convert the subt to dvb, but I encounter this:

[00000208] stream_out_transcode private debug: creating subtitles

chain
[00000254] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output

"vlc -l | grep dvb" tells this:
  dvbsub                DVB subtitles decoder

Is there a separate encoder for this, which I forgot to compile in? (or
should it work with this?)

My compile options were:

./configure --enable-release --enable-sout --enable-livedotcom
--enable-mad --enable-ffmpeg --enable-a52 --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-sdl
--enable-freetype --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/src/vlc/live
--with-mad-tree=/usr/src/vlc/libmad-0.15.1b

--with-libmpeg2-tree=/usr/src/vlc/mpeg2dec-0.4.0 --disable-pvr

--disable-skins2 --disable-x11 --enable-dvb --enable-dvbpsi
--with-dvbpsi-tree=/usr/src/vlc/libdvbpsi-20041028

(I added the last 3 option, and compiled dvbspi for that recently, and
recompiled the whole vlc again. But It's still the same "cannot find
encoder")
