package: vlc version: 0.8.6.c-3 I tried to resize an ogg video and stream it and got segfault. To isolate the case, I took vlc-endorsed ogg stream from ftp://streams.videolan.org/streams-videolan/reference/ogm/theora-a4_v6-k250-s0.ogg
And tried to resize it and stream: vlc theora-a4_v6-k250-s0.ogg --loop -Irc --sout '#transcode{vcodec="theora",width=320,height=128}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,url=:1111}' Here is the output: VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus Remote control interface initialized.
