Live Streaming with VLC not working

Hi there,

I just got the new WOWZA Streaming Engine 4.0.0

I'm new in this and I tried to set up a VOD application. All good here, it works.

So I want to do some live streaming.

And I gues what Wowza software does is a re-streaming; I will stream with VLC to a location (local) and the Wowza service will re-stream that to whatever it is set up to.

I went there to http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?90-How-to-use-VLC-as-a-live-stream-encoder-with-Wowza-Media-Server-(MPEG-TS) but following the steps does not work at all:

- I introduce this code into the command prompt: [HTML]vlc -vvv "%WMSAPP_HOME%/content/sample.mp4" --sout "#transcode{venc=x264{keyint=60,profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac},vcodec=x264,vb=150,scale=0.5,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=127.0.0.1,port=10000,mux=ts}"[/HTML] and VLC opens and shows the message:

     Streaming / Transcoding failed:
     VLC could not open the encoder.

So I dig into the messages to see the log and this is what I got:
