The bitrate setting on an h.264 encoder is supposed to take precedence and be a hard limit. So if I set 500Kb/sec the encoder has to adjust everything else until it can hit and hold that limit. Min/MaxQp should not overrule the Bitrate limit. I believe the only exception to that is for VBR where you are allowed to exceed the bandwidth limit by 10% for short periods of time. The encoder is also supposed to be smart on how it adjusts itself when the bandwidth limit is set. These limits are there for streaming video. I needed to set a 500Kb/s hard limit because I only had 500Kb/s of streaming capacity available. I couldn't figure out how to keep the Allwinner encoder at a 500Kb/s limit, it would stay at 500Kb/s for a while but then if there was rapid motion it would jump to 2Mb/s. It should not matter if CBR or VBR is set, the limit should still be enforced. Of course when it jumped to 2Mb/s on my 500Kb/s pipe, the stream dropped. Check out the the software x86 h.264 implementations - they will output exactly 500Kb/s when told to. You can watch the picture become very clear when the scene is still and then go grainy when there is rapid motion. Also - I had severe problems with noise on A20 cameras. That noise is random from frame to frame. Encoding that noise wastes all of my 500Kb/s bandwidth which makes the image quality terrible. Typical some type of ISP is used to remove this noise before h.264 encoding. Does the Allwinner V3 support external I2S? I'd just look in the datasheet, but it is too much hassle to get it. > > then maybe reduce the qulity of the picture. > > > ________________________________ > kevin.z.m...@gmail.com > > > From: jonsm...@gmail.com > Date: 2015-04-27 21:22 > To: achun liu > CC: linux-sunxi > Subject: Re: [linux-sunxi] How to adjust bitrate of allwinner's encoder > dynamically > On Mon, Apr 27, 2015 at 2:45 AM, <lyc.ac...@gmail.com> wrote: >> hi,all, >> >> How to adjust bitrate of allwinner's encoder dynamically,I tried to >> change, >> but did not seem to effect. > > I could not get it to work for lower bitrates.
