I´m NOT interested on constant bitrate (which I know is not possible), but at least I want to get a certain AVERAGE bitrate so I can fit the video through a token bucket. The problem is I find it impossible to predict the total video ...
Is there any way I can encode a video to get a predictable file size? I try to calculate size=length*(audiobitrate + videobitrate), but I always get a file a lot larger than calculated. Could you at least tell me why this is? I´ve tried different muxers and codecs and that makes the file size vary, ...

I've tried streaming a playlist and while viewing it with the Linux VLC (Mandrake), the monitor goes blank for a second every time a video ends and the next one starts playing. This can get pretty annoying when streaming a playlist of several short videos :? The problem does not happen: -If Windows ...
