title: VLC screen:// wont produce a file using :sout=
body: <p>Why won't this produce a file? It does everything right but saving to an actual file .. I am using Linux, Vlc 1.1.9, compiled without skins2, qt or ncurses interfaces...</p>
  
  <pre><code>vlc :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4,acodec=mp4a,vb=800,scale=1}:std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="~/file.mp4"} screen:// screen-fps=12 screen-caching=100
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note this also does the same thing - shows the screen:// fine, but will not output to a file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>vlc :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=none,vb=800}:std{access=file,mux=avi,dst="/root/file.avi"} screen:// screen-fps=12 screen-caching=100
  </code></pre>
