How to reduce datarate of a stream?

Postby OwenBurnett » 17 Nov 2007 16:04

Hi,
I would like to stream videos form one PC with VLC to an other over the Internet, but my upload capacity seems to low, how can I order vlc to reduce the datarate / increase compression to fit my bandwidth limitations?

thanks in advice
