vlc preliminary trials - fail

Paul Bourke mentioned that a VLC plugin for warping is under development. Tried out exporting a filtered video using VLC as given at this forum thread,
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=55449&f=14

Unfortunately, the output doesn't seem to have the filter applied. Code used was
vlc -I dummy stellarium_movie.avi -v --video-filter="wave" --file-caching="20000"  --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=8192,scale=1,
deinterlace, audio-sync,acodec=mp4a,ab=128, channels=2}:duplicate{dst=standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=test\output3wave.mpg}}"

I tried --vout-filter also, as given in the forum, but no go. Output video does not have the filter applied.

vlc -I dummy stellarium_movie.avi -v --vout-filter="wave" --file-caching="20000"  --sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=8192,scale=1,
deinterlace,audio-sync,acodec=mp4a,ab=128, channels=2}:duplicate{dst=standard{access=file,mux=ts,dst=test\output3wave.mpg}}"

Edit: Solution is here.
