Having Trouble Transcoding with VLC using commandline

[ezcapper]

I'm having trouble transcoding with VLC using the commandline, what am I doing wrong?

I want it to keep the audio stream without reencoding and encode the video stream using x264:

cvlc v4l2:///dev/video1 :input-slave="alsa://hw:1,0" :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{qp=17,preset=ultrafast},scale=Auto,width=1920}:duplicate{dst=file{dst=/home/ezcapper/ezcapper.avi,no-overwrite},dst=display} :sout-keep

this is what the console feeds back:

[0000558ce3df8bb8] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[00007fdcac000b98] core stream output error: stream chain failed for `transcodewidth=1920:duplicatedst=display'
[00007fdca80009b8] core input error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting

Thanks for any advice

Try first remove some commands. Like first the width and see if you get same error.
Or add "" around the sout="#transcode..."

MY working transcode and duplicate with several dst command looks like:

sout="#transcode{venc=x264{profile=high},vcodec=x264,vb=1000,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000,deinterlace}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:9090},dst=std{access=http{mime=video/x-flv},mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:9090/stream.flv}}"

He's determined to not use FFMPEG for anything, and then you go giving him a command line with the word "ffmpeg" in it.

(VLC is based on LibAV, which is a fork of FFMPEG.)

You don't have to use the dst ffmpeg muxing. It's just an example how a sout would look like.
