<p>Dj: /* Accepted video codecs */</p> <hr /> <div>{{wikipedia|MPEG}}<br /> MPEG refers to a set of standards created by the [http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/ Moving Picture Experts Group]. MPEG refers to several video, audio and [[container]] formats; see the full list at the [[Codec]] page.<br /> <br /> An MPEG file is a file using an MPEG container (these are called ''mpeg1'', ''ts'', ''ps'', and ''mp4'' for MPEG-4). <br /> <br /> <br /> == Creating an MPEG File with VLC ==<br /> To make an MPEG file, you need to:<br /> * Pick a container (see [[#Container_formats|below]])<br /> * Transcode the audio and video to formats able to be held in the container: in general this is the MPEG video and audio formats only. Check the [http://www.videolan.org/streaming/features.html compatibility information] in the official documentation, but be warned that while vlc allows any codec and mux, most other players support only a few combinations!<br /> <br /> == MPEG-1 and 2 ==<br /> {{wikipedia|MPEG-1}}<br /> {{wikipedia|MPEG-2}}<br /> <br /> * Muxer: '''ts''', '''ps''', '''mpeg1'''<br /> <br /> MPEG-1 is a video and audio compression format, used in [[Video CD]]s. It is compatible with a large number of software and hardware devices.<br /> <br /> Here is an example of how to transcode an AVI into a portable MPEG-1 video from the [[command prompt]]<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> vlc ''file.avi'' --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp1v, acodec=mpga}:std{access=file, mux=mpeg1,url=''file.mpg''}'<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> MPEG-2 is used in digital television and [[DVB]]. It is also used as the format for [[DVD]]s. The biggest advantage of this format over MPEG-1 is in its support for interlaced pictures; MPEG-2 can cleanly compress interlaced video, while MPEG-1 internally only works on progressive-scan video, so interlacing must be faked.<br /> <br /> Here is an example of how to transcode an AVI into an MPEG-2 video from the [[command prompt]]<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> vlc ''file.avi'' --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp2v, acodec=mpga}:std{access=file, mux=ps,url=''file.mpg''}'<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Video ===<br /> {{codec video|id=mp1v}}<br /> {{codec video|id=mp2v|altid=mpgv}}<br /> Codecs for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Video<br /> <br /> === Audio ===<br /> {{codec audio|id=mpga|info=MP2 audio.}}<br /> {{codec audio|id=mp3|info=[[MP3]] audio.}}<br /> Codecs for MPEG Layer 1/2 audio and MPEG Layer 3 audio.<br /> <br /> === Container formats ===<br /> MPEG-2 specified 2 [[container]] formats, ts and ps. Containers hold video and audio information in them, and package them up so it can be sent over a network or stored on disk.<br /> * '''ts''' (Transport Stream) should be used to store or send data where data loss will probably occur, such as over a network.<br /> * '''ps''' (Program Stream) should be used to store or send data where data loss is not likely, such as on a DVD.<br /> <br /> Both ps and ts can transport MPEG-4 Video, but only ts can send MPEG-4 Audio. In addition, MPEG-4 specifies it's own container format, '''mp4''' (see [[MPEG-4]])<br /> <br /> ==== TS ====<br /> {{mux|id=ts|encoder=y}}<br /> <br /> ===== Module options =====<br /> * --ts-extra-pmt ([[string]])<br /> *: Extra PMT. Allows a user to specify an extra pmt (pmt_pid=pid:stream_type[,...]).<br /> * --ts-es-id-pid&quot; ([[boolean]])<br /> Set the internal ID of each elementary stream handled by VLC to the same value as the PID in the TS stream, instead of 1, 2, 3, etc. Useful to do '#duplicate{..., select=&quot;es=&lt;pid&gt;&quot;}'.&quot;). Default is true.<br /> * --ts-out ([[string]])<br /> *: Fast [[UDP]] streaming. Sends TS to specific ip:port by udp (you must know what you are doing). Default off.<br /> * --ts-out-mtu ([[integer]])<br /> *: MTU for out mode. Default 1500.<br /> * --ts-csa-ck ([[string]])<br /> *: Control word for the CSA encryption algorithm.<br /> * --ts-csa-pkt ([[integer]])<br /> *: Default: 188<br /> * --ts-silent ([[boolean]])<br /> *: Supresses complaints for encrypted PES. Default false.<br /> * --ts-dump-file (file name)<br /> *: A filename do dump ts into.<br /> * --ts-dump-append ([[boolean]])<br /> *: Append data to the dump file. Default is false, which overwrites the file.<br /> * --ts-dump-size ([[integer]])<br /> *: The size of the buffer for reading/writing an integer number of packets. Default: 16384 bytes.<br /> <br /> ===== Accepted video codecs =====<br /> * [[mpgv]]: MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video<br /> * [[mp4v]]: MPEG 4 video<br /> * [[h264]]<br /> * [[jpeg]]<br /> * [[ms]]: MS codecs (nonstandard?)<br /> <br /> ===== Accepted audio codecs =====<br /> * [[MP1]], [[MP2]], [[MP3]]<br /> * [[mp4a]]: MPEG-4 Audio (MP4)<br /> * [[a52]]<br /> * [[lpcm]]<br /> * [[dts]]<br /> <br /> ===== Accepted subtitle codecs =====<br /> * [[spu]]<br /> * [[subt]]<br /> * [[telx]]<br /> <br /> ==== PS ====<br /> {{mux|id=ps|encoder=y}}<br /> <br /> ===== Module options =====<br /> * --ps-trust-timestamps ([[boolean]])<br /> *: Turns on or off trusting the timestamps in the file. Set as false to work it out from the [[bitrate]]s. Default true.<br /> <br /> ===== Accepted video codecs =====<br /> * [[mpgv]]: MPEG-1 or MPEG2<br /> * [[mp4v]]: MPEG-4<br /> <br /> ===== Accepted audio codecs =====<br /> * [[mpga]]: MP1, MP2 or MP3<br /> * [[mp4a]]: MPEG-4 (MP4)<br /> * [[dts]]<br /> * [[a52]]<br /> * [[lpcm]]<br /> ===== Accepted subtitle codecs =====<br /> * [[spu]]<br /> * [[ogt]]<br /> * [[cvd]]<br /> <br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == MPEG-3 ==<br /> {{wikipedia|MPEG-3}}<br /> A largely unused audio and video compression format.<br /> * Note that the amazingly common [[MP3]] audio files are actually '''MPEG-1 Layer 3''' audio, not MPEG-3.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == MPEG-4 ==<br /> ''See '''[[MPEG-4]]'''.''<br /> <br /> <br /> == Source code ==<br /> {{file|modules/mux/mp4.c|output muxer}}<br /> {{file|modules/demux/ps.c|input demuxer}}<br /> {{file|modules/demux/ts.c|input demuxer}}<br /> {{file|modules/demux/ps.h|input demuxer}}</div>

<p>Dj: /* Other Files */</p> <hr /> <div>{{stub}}<br /> Answers to some common problems people encounter with VLC. More help is available in the<br /> * [http://www.videolan.org/doc/ Documentation]<br /> * [http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/videolan-faq-en.html FAQ]<br /> * [[Forum]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Installing VLC ==<br /> <br /> === On Mac OS 9 ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|239006}}<br /> * Sorry, VLC will not work on OS 9, and probably never will. However, Mac OS X is supported - [[Unsupported|Find out Why]]<br /> <br /> === Compiling VLC ===<br /> <br /> ==== How do I compile VLC? ====<br /> <br /> * Look at [http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/ how to compile VLC]. There are pre-compiled (binary / executable) versions [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ here].<br /> <br /> ==== Mozilla Firefox Plugin ====<br /> <br /> * ''Debian:'' All you need is to download the vlc plugin package - mozilla-plugin-vlc ([http://packages.debian.org/stable/graphics/mozilla-plugin-vlc stable release])<br /> * ''All Linux:'' To make the firefox plugin with the vlc player, you will first need the Firefox Development package (from: [http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/devel/firefox-dev ubuntu] ...). Then, when you compile, run ./configure with --enable-mozilla, and if needed with --with-mozilla-sdk-path=''/path_to_firefox_sdk''<br /> <br /> ==== &quot;Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h&quot; and &quot;Missing header file postproc/postprocess.h&quot; Errors ====<br /> <br /> * Make sure that you have all the libraries you need.<br /> * When you run ./configure for [[ffmpeg]], make sure that at least the following flags are set (descriptions of these avaliable from ./configure --help )<br /> ./configure --enable-shared --enable-shared-pp --enable-pp --enable-gpl<br /> * The path of ffmpeg is not set. Check if you can locate the file '''libavcodec.pc''' on your computer, and export PKG_CONFIG_PATH to where you found it before running ./configure. For example<br /> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/you/ffmpeg/<br /> <br /> ==== &quot;cc1: error: invalid option `tune=opteron'&quot; Error on 64-bit systems ====<br /> <br /> * One user writes: &quot;From what I can see, the -mtune flag is not available for this type of processor in man gcc. I had to change the configure options comment out all the lines where they set mcpu or mtune flags.) I don't know if this is the correct way to proceed but was the only way for me to get results fast.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==== &quot;/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11&quot; Error on 64-bit systems ====<br /> <br /> * In configure, there is an x_libraries variable there that is set to &quot;/usr/X11R6/lib&quot; (around line 16371). Because it is a 64 bit system, this variable needs to be /usr/X11R6/lib64. After changing that, it should continue compiling.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Problems Starting VLC ==<br /> <br /> === I can't use VLC 0.8 (or later) with Mac OSX 10.1.5 ===<br /> <br /> * VLC 0.7.0 is last one which supports OSX 10.1.5. It is a good idea to upgrade to 10.2, as this is much faster than 10.1.5 even on pretty slow Macs. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Error Messages ==<br /> <br /> Error messages can be viewed by selecting Messages from the View menu.<br /> <br /> === main private error: no sout mux module matched &quot;ts&quot; ===<br /> <br /> * This can be an error if '''libdvbpsi''' was not installed when vlc was compiled. To fix this error, install libdvbpsi; then re-compile vlc. [http://developers.videolan.org/libdvbpsi/ libdvbpsi]<br /> <br /> === main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched &quot;any&quot; ===<br /> <br /> * The solution is found in [http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=14733 the forum]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Problems playing types of files ==<br /> <br /> === WMV files ===<br /> <br /> * The latest versions of WMV video (known as wmv3) are not supported by VLC. This format will be supported when the specs are made public - expected to be within a year. On some Windows systems they can be played now, as VLC will attempt to decode the files using software (namely the dynamic library &lt;tt&gt;wmv9dmod.dll&lt;/tt&gt;) included with Windows. If your installation of Windows lacks this file, it is available on the [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ MPlayer Codec page] in the Win32 Codecpack &lt;tt&gt;win32codecs-20040703.tar.bz2&lt;/tt&gt;. Extract the file &lt;tt&gt;wmv9dmod.dll&lt;/tt&gt; (md5: &lt;tt&gt;292beecb089f13b70af8e44e5bfefa5c&lt;/tt&gt;) and copy it into the VLC directory.<br /> * Linux (x86) workaround:<br /> *# Find the win32 codecs (win32codecs). Like, [http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/ here]!<br /> *# Extract the files to the /usr/lib/win32 or /usr/local/lib/win32 directories<br /> *# Compile VLC with --enable-dmo --enable-loader<br /> <br /> === Real Media files ===<br /> <br /> * Realmedia files (.rm, .rpm, etc) are proprietary (ie, copyrighted) file formats, created by RealNetworks. Because of this, VLC can't support them at present.<br /> <br /> === QuickTime Files (.mov) ===<br /> <br /> * Mov file doesn't play, but plays ok in QuickTime<br /> ** open the url in QuickTime player<br /> ** let it decide which datarate is best for your connection<br /> ** let it play for a few seconds, then pause it<br /> ** open the stream info, copy the url<br /> ** open &amp; save that one in VLC<br /> <br /> === Flash Video Files (.flv) ===<br /> <br /> * Flash Video support has recently been added (provided through ffmpeg) - to view .flv files you will need version 0.8.4a. Download and install the latest version [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ here].<br /> * VLC still has problems with a few .flv files. If you have problems playing a file in VLC you might be able to change it to an avi using [[ffmpeg]]. See [[Fixing .flv to .avi with Ffmpeg]].<br /> <br /> === Other Files ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|238663}}<br /> * Make sure that VLC supports that file - look at the [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html list of supposted formats]<br /> <br /> * Make sure that the file isn't corrupted<br /> <br /> == VLC and Other Programs ==<br /> <br /> === AMR ===<br /> <br /> * To use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate AMR], you'll need to compile vlc and ffmpeg with amr support yourself. This is because the amr license is not compatible with the vlc license.<br /> <br /> === ratDVD ===<br /> <br /> * VLC does not support [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RatDVD ratDVD]<br /> <br /> == Problems Playing DVDs ==<br /> <br /> === Unable to play any DVDs ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|239006}}<br /> * ''Linux:'' To play DVDs with VLC in linux, you need to install the libdvdcss package<br /> * ''Linux:'' Make sure you have access rigths to your DVD player. In linux, you can use chmod to edit access rights to your DVD block device:<br /> ** &lt;nowiki&gt;#&lt;/nowiki&gt; chmod 666 /dev/dvd<br /> ** The videolan FAQ seems to suggest you need write access to this device - is this true? If you know, please edit this entry.<br /> <br /> === Playing DVDs from other Region Codes ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|239426}}<br /> * The ability to play DVDs from all regions depends mostly on your DVD drive, and testing it is usually the quickest way to find out if your DVD drive can do it. Most newer DVD drives are RPC2 drives, which don't allow raw access to the drive untill the drive firmware has done a regioncheck. VLC uses libdvdcss and it needs raw access to the DVD drive to crack the encryption key. So with these drives it is impossible to circumvent the region protection. (This goes for all software. You will need to flash your drives firmware, but sometimes there is no alternate firmware available for your drive). On other RPC2 drives that DO allow raw access, it might take VLC a long time to crack the key. So just pop the disc in your drive and try it out, while you get a coffee. RPC1 drives should 'always' work regardless of the regioncode.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Poor Quality Video and Audio ==<br /> <br /> === The video runs but the picture is distorted ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|238431}}<br /> * ''Linux:'' There is probably a problem with the output layer. There are several ways of troubleshooting it.<br /> ** First, try with another output plugin, for instance:<br /> **: % vlc -V sdl<br /> **: % vlc -V x11<br /> ** Second, change your screen depth and/or definition. It quite often helps.<br /> ** Lastly, if running Unix, have a look at your XFree86 video driver. <br /> <br /> === Video is choppy ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|238474}}<br /> * Your system may be too slow to decode all pictures. Sometimes, your CPU (computer) really isn't fast enough, but often the situation can be improved by changing your system configuration to be a bit kinder to VLC.<br /> ** Quit other programs running in the background<br /> ** Turn on DMA on your DVD device:<br /> *** ''Linux:''<br /> ***: &lt;nowiki&gt;#&lt;/nowiki&gt; hdparm -d1 /dev/dvd<br /> *** ''Windows:'' go to the System section of the control panel, and go to the Hardware manager (it is sometimes in a separate tab, and sometimes, you have to go to the Advanced tab. Then, right-click on your DVD player, and check the DMA checkbox. <br /> ** Upgrade to the latest driver for your video board.<br /> ** ''Linux:'' you can additionally upgrade your drivers to the latest XFree86 version. If supported, check that the xvideo plug-in is effectively used with:<br /> **: % vlc -vvvv<br /> <br /> === Audio and video are out of sync ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|238571}}<br /> * If you are [[transcoding]] a file, use the [[audio-sync]] option.<br /> * You can manually set the audio offset while playing (so you can put the audio back in sync). The default keys in Windows are Ctrl+K and Ctrl+L to increase/decrease the delay.<br /> * ''Linux/Unix:'' Try using another audio output plugin and, under Unix, kill esd or artsd if they are running. If the problem is due to the input file, have a look at the &quot;Audio desynchronization compensation&quot; option.<br /> <br /> == Problems with Streaming ==<br /> <br /> === main input error: no suitable access module for `rtsp://...' ===<br /> <br /> vlc needs livemedia from '''live555.com''' to read rtsp stream this way. <br /> <br /> You can check you have it by :<br /> <br /> vlc -l | grep live<br /> <br /> It should read<br /> <br /> livedotcom live.com (RTSP/RTP/SDP) demuxer<br /> livedotcom RTSP/RTP access and demux<br /> <br /> If not, you have to install '''livemedia''' and point your compilation to this lib directory :<br /> <br /> ./configure '''--enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/local/lib/live/'''<br /> <br /> == Problems converting between file formats (transcoding) ==<br /> <br /> === Missing Audio and/or Video ===<br /> <br /> * Certain containers (aka muxers) can only hold certain types of video and audio - look at [http://www.videolan.org/streaming/features.html Streaming features]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == VLC Crashes ==<br /> <br /> === General ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|238592}}<br /> * If VLC crashes, the following steps will help determine the cause.<br /> ** Increase the verbosity level (either in the preferences or with a -vvvv command line option) and look at the debug messages (in the terminal or in the Messages window).<br /> * If you are convinced that it is a bug in VLC, have a look at the [http://www.videolan.org/support/bug-reporting.html bug reporting page].<br /> <br /> === When using DirectShow (eg Webcam) ===<br /> <br /> {{forum|12394}}<br /> * There was a bug a while back when you tried to stream using a directshow/webcam it would reboot the computer. The fix was to specify the resolution on the command line or in the &quot;Advanced&quot; section when opening the directshow.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Other Problems ==<br /> <br /> === I only want one VLC player! ===<br /> <br /> * To use the same VLC player for all the media files, go to Settings, Preferences, Advanced. The following options should give behavior similar to WMP: minimize # of threads, allow only one running instance, VLC is started from file association, allow only &quot;on&quot; running instance when started from file (typo in v0.8.5).<br /> <br /> === Licensing, legal issues and logo use ===<br /> <br /> * Information on this is avaliable on the main videolan website, [http://videolan.org videolan.org]. Also read the [http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/index.html#id238663 Legal concerns] section of the [http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/index.html FAQ].<br /> * This is a wiki site: it is editable by all, so it is best to check to official website.<br /> <br /> === Fixing Strange Behaviour ===<br /> <br /> {{faqlink|238992}}<br /> * The first thing to do is to reset the VLC preferences in the preferences dialog of the application and restart VLC. If VLC doesn't even start anymore, delete VLC's configuration file ([[#Configuration File|where is it?]]). Then restart VLC. If it does not get any better, read the rest of this page or FAQ page, or ask for help at the [[forum]].<br /> <br /> === Subtitles Problem ===<br /> * In the File | Open File dialog, select &quot;Use a subtitles file&quot;, and enter both the video's filename and the video's subtitle filename.</div>

<p>Dj: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;span style=&quot;color:red;font-size:30pt;&quot;&gt;See discussion please&lt;/span&gt; (lets try to keep this page readable :) )<br /> <br /> == Read this first ==<br /> <br /> The current preferences use a tree that matches the vlc internal mechanisms.<br /> The new preferences don't have to use this tree. We can use whatever we want. My first thought is a 1-level sorting, with the main topics displayed with images on the left pane and preferences pages on the right pane.<br /> <br /> We can select preferences items one by one, we don't need the full pages that are currently used<br /> <br /> VLC definitively needs a &quot;simple&quot; preferences window.

But if you can't see the current tree of simple preferences as they exist presently how can you have the discussion as to include them or not? There also maybe a few that are not now in the simple preferences that should be or a few that best be handled in a different way or done away with entirely.

But if you can't see the current tree of simple preferences as they exist presently how can you have the discussion as to include them or not? There also maybe a few that are not now in the simple preferences that should be or a few that best be handled in a different way or done away with entirely. But how can you see them to be able to relate to them or know out of context?

<p>Dj: </p> <hr /> <div>== Read this first ==<br /> <br /> The current preferences use a tree that matches the vlc internal mechanisms.<br /> The new preferences don't have to use this tree. We can use whatever we want. My first thought is a 1-level sorting, with the main topics displayed with images on the left pane and preferences pages on the right pane.<br /> <br /> We can select preferences items one by one, we don't need the full pages that are currently used<br /> <br /> VLC definitively needs a &quot;simple&quot; preferences window. Here is a list of some of the settings which would be needed:<br /> <br /> == Now, proceed ==<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> (?) = to be decided<br /> <br /> * Audio<br /> ** Enable Audio<br /> ** Default audio volume<br /> ** Use S/PDIF when available<br /> ** Force detection of Dolby surround<br /> *** Filters<br /> **** Equalizer<br /> ***** Equalizer preset<br /> **** Headphone effect<br /> ***** Characteristic demension<br /> **** Volume normalizer<br /> **** Parmetric equalizer<br /> ***** All Presets (?)<br /> *** Output modules (?) -- Disagree. Only needs to be modified in case of problems -- [[User:Zorglub]] --&gt; It's still one of the options which many people have to change, having it handy will be usefull -- [[User:DJ]]. If we show it up, we should only include really useful modules, like DirectX/Waveout only for aout under windows. Don't show file and dummy for instance [[User:Zorglub]]<br /> **** DirectX Audio output -- It'd be best to not have any &quot;module specific&quot; option in these simple prefs.
