Werner, can you please shortly explain the no-scenecut issue. Without scenecut detection, if such event occurs in the middle of the GOP, as it usually does, the video quality till the end of the GOP will be rather compromised. It appears as a 'breathing effect'. It is mostly stands out when a high

(Did this one not top post? Trying to figure out how to avoid that on Gmail) Thanks for the advice. Now I guess I should encode a video using double pass and CFR and compare them. There seems to be a hot debate about which is best. The settings below are what the apple.com recommends for 4:3.

Hi First time posting. I'm currently using liquidsoap to transcode a live MP3 stream to a lower bitrate AAC+ stream. However the AAC+ stream is not suitable because it is VBR and we require CBR. There appears to be no way to set CBR within liquidsoap. The input MP3 stream is CBR. I am therefore

You don't have to disable scene cut detection. Without scencut the video quality is dramatically lower than when it is used. 'force_key_frames' and 'scenecut' work just fine together. Such videos passes Apple AppStore validation and Akamai does not complain about it either. Make sure to disable '-g
