vlc subtitles video

So in the last time i was playing a with vlc (working actually) so here i got a few tips and tricks for all:

• Stream a file over the network in realtime using multicast:

  vlc file.avi :sout-all ":sout=#std{access=udp{ttl=1},mux=ts,dst=226.0.0.10:1234}"
  

  Then you can open it with :

  vlc udp://@226.0.0.10:1234
  

• Adding .srt subtitles to a video , hardcoding subtitles, burning subtitles :
  Note that burning subtitles require encoding the video, so you may loose quality.

  vlc file.avi :sub-file="subfile.srt" :subsdec-align=0 :freetype-rel-fontsize=16 :sout-all  \
  ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1000,soverlay}:std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=file.ps}"
  

  Note that you specify codec here :

  transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1000,soverlay}
  

This was tested under linux, for windows it should also work.

vlc transcoding entire folder

Here is a script to use vlc to transcode videos stored in a folder :

#!/bin/sh
DIR_TRANS='transcoded'

mkdir -p $DIR_TRANS

for filename in `ls *.mp4`
do
 vlc $filename ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1200,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=256,channels=2}\
:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=$DIR_TRANS/$filename}}" --play-and-exit
done

Gadget for my lady ...

A while ago we ordered a gadget, my wife's decision.
