Hi,
I have been playing about with the video bit rate settings both using the command line ffmpeg and through the bit_rate field in the AVCodecContext. When using the command line, I can change the bit rate, and the file size seems to change (although the overall output bit rate seems to be much less than I specify). When I use AVCodecContext, the bit_rate seems to be ignored completely. I am using the msmpeg4 codec, although even with the mpeg4, the results are similar - the bit rate specified on the command line works, although with less bits than expected, and the AVCodecContext bit_rate is ignored. So my questions are: 1) Why doesn't the final file bit rate come close to the video bit rate specified (i.e. out by 1000 at least)? 2) What do I need to do to make Libav take account of the AVCodecContext bit_rate parameter (i.e. are there any flags I need to add)? Thanks, Andrew J _______________________________________________ libav-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
