Limiting a streaming bitrate....

Postby wave41 » 07 May 2009 19:09

Hello Everyone,

I am working on an IPTV project in which I need to stream multicast channels. I looked online but I cannot seem to find a way of creating limitations in the bitrate at which the videos are streamed. Is it possible to limit the bitrate of a stream using vlc?

I am using VLC for redhat linux 5. This is the command I use to stream the videos. Our format is SD_TS



vlc -d alex_steffan_43_SD_ts.mpg --sout udp:239.10.10.1:1234 --ttl 6 --loop --miface-addr 10.150.10.1


the 10.150.10.1 is where I stream them from...


Any help would be grealy appreciated!

Thank you!!!!
