LibVLC as video output. Derrick Petzold. #4603 (VLC crashes when transcoding to H264) – VLC. \\\ wogri ///: VLC Flash Streaming. x264. Algorithm Overview h264 is a popular video encoding format for high quality and well compressed videos. x264 is the most widely used algorithm for creating h264 videos.

x264

Veetle uses VLC in its broadcasting software, which in turn uses x264 for transcoding. All modern video files are not simply a series of images, as in an animated GIF. If they were, the file size would be huge. Instead, video files use motion compensation to keep file sizes low. I frames take up much more space than P and B frames. x264 tweaking benefits low bitrate streams When broadcasting at high bitrates (over 1000 kbps), you may hardly notice changes in your stream quality as you change your x264 settings.

When doing offline pre-transcoding, you should always use high x264 settings because you will usually have no time constraints and no concern for CPU usage. In realtime transcoding, you won't be able to max out the x264 settings haphazardly. The most important settings subme ref Ref stands for reference frames. Bframes. Python libvlc take snapshot from commandline. Hi, Having problems capturing a snapshot when using python libvlc to capture a UDP stream.

python libvlc take snapshot from commandline

The following script does a grand job of making the recording but fails to get the snapshot Code: Select all import vlcfrom time import sleep # set up recordingvlc_instance = vlc.libvlc_new(0, [])vlc_media = vlc.libvlc_media_new_location(vlc_instance, 'udp/ ':sout=#standard{mux=ps,dst=/home/vds/libvlc_poc/foo.ps,access=file} ')vlc.libvlc_media_add_option(vlc_media, ':mtu=32768')vlc.libvlc_media_add_option(vlc_media, ':start-time=0')vlc.libvlc_media_add_option(vlc_media, ':stop-time=30')vlc.libvlc_media_add_option(vlc_media, ':udp-caching=5000')vlc.libvlc_media_add_option(vlc_media, ':snapshot-path=/home/vds/libvlc_poc/')vlc.libvlc_media_add_option(vlc_media, ':snapshot-format=png')vlc_player = vlc.libvlc_media_player_new_from_media(vlc_media)vlc.libvlc_media_player_play(vlc_player) # take a snapshot midway throughsleep(20)print 'taking snapshot now....' The output from the script is: Any clues ?

Graham. Python bindings. The bindings feature : a complete cover of the libvlc API, since it is automatically generated from the include files.

Python bindings

No compilation hassle: the generated module is pure python. No versioning hassle: the same module works with multiple VLC versions. A complete documentation. Download You can download the vlc.py module from the Git repository. Alternatively, you can generate it by yourself using the generate.py program and accompanying files in the vlc source tree (see [1]). Usage The vlc.py file also contains a runnable example player application (see code at the end of the file, starting from the line "if __name__ == '__main__').

A set of helper examples examples provide a pyGtk, a pyQt and a pyWx player to ease integration. There is also a README Projects using this binding. Home: MainConcept.
