== list update ==

Can't we automatically build this list by searching all the pages using the "howto" template ? -- [[User:Dionoea|Dionoea]] 17:30, 20 January 2006 (CET)
'''Bold text'''
: Adding the [[Template:howto|template]] should automatically add the page to [[:Category:How To]], so we can use that. There's a few on the list that are all on one page (so aren't listed there) and also for some reason [[How to Create a DVD]] isn't listed there. --[[User:H2g2bob|H2g2bob]] 17:53, 20 January 2006 (CET)

Control VLC via a browser

Hello! My site: http://andrea-lowell-pics-63476s.megadoors.org/

{{howto|Use the HTTP interface to control VLC from a web browser}}

* Start VLC on the server with the [[Web Interface|http]] [[interface]]
vlc -I http
You can use '''--extraintf''' if you want to specify more than one interface (see [[interface]] for details)
* If you want to bind VLC to a specific host and port use '''--http-host host:port'''
* Open your favourite web browser on the client
* Type the IP address (or URL) of the host in the location field (address bar). You may need to specify the port (VLC defalts to using port 8080)
*: An example is http://127.0.0.1:8080 - 127.0.0.1 refers to the local machine.
* Add the files to be streamed to the playlist like /home/file.mpg
* Add streaming destination in the sout field udp://<client>:1234
* Open VLC on the client, with VLC udp://@:1234

SAP

Hello! My site: http://andrea-lowell-pics-63476s.megadoors.org/

SAP stands for Session Announcement Protocol. It's defined in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2974.txt |RFC2974] (cache).
It's a distributed directory of announcements of streams and uses [[multicast]] to effeciently distribute these announces on the Local Area Network or on the [[MBONE]]. It uses [[SDP]]'s to describe streams so that you can open the stream via RTSP[[?]].

This technique will allow you to have a lot of server produce streams (often multicasted) and announce themselves on the network. The clients on the network can then listen for these announces. VLC can do this with the sap interface. You then get a listing of all these streams and can simply 'tune' into the stream of your choice.

It can also work for Internet telephony (SIP) for instance.

Example of what is announced via SAP on the MBONE:

Codec

Hello! My Site: http://watergirl34.h.fc2.com

''See Also the [http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch02.html#id291422 Official documentation: list of modules]''

{{wikipedia|List of codecs}}
{{mmwiki|Video codecs|Category:Video_Codecs}}
{{mmwiki|Audio codecs|Category:Audio_Codecs}}

Codec is short for coder/decoder.
For [http://discerning.com/topics/audiovideo/video_encoding.html portability to almost all decoders], we recommend
using the [[MPEG-1]] standard of vcodec=mp1v, acodec=mpga, and mux=mpeg1. See the [[MPEG]] Wiki page for more details on the other MPEG standards.

To save a file in a different codec, you can use the transcoding [[wizard]] or [[transcode]] from the [[command prompt]] with a command like this:
:vlc file --sout='#transcode{vcodec=''mp1v'', vb=''1024'', acodec=''mpga'', ab=''128''}:std{access=file, mux=''mpeg1'', url=''C:\file_name.mpg''}'
