educate me :-)

Thanks for the info. Now, how do I "educate" myself in this? I´m trying to predict the size of a h264 video on TS. Do muxer overheads weigh less on longer files? Please tell me where I can read more on any of this.

transcoding: bitrate selection impossible???

I´m trying to transcode videos to a target bitrate for streaming. 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 ...

Encoding to a target size

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, ...

VLC as http server. Works in Windows. Does it work in Linux?

I found it useful to use VLC (Win) as http server by placing shared files under "/<VLC root dir>/http/" and starting the web server.

However I can´t play the videos if the VLC server is set up on Linux.

Does anyone know if this feature works under Linux?

Thanks again for your comment DJ.
However, I was finally able to solve the colour issue by clicking on "Restore Defaults" options under Preferences, which doesn't explain anything but at least works.

Colors messed up with every video I play (Win2000 Pro)

With every different video I play on this PC, I get the colours all wrong. Reds become blues and viceversa. The lightness values are correct though. VLC is using DirectX video module, and the only other module that'll work is CACA (just good for fun). I've already installed DirectX 9.0c and DivX5 (a...

Screen flickers when switching videos in a playlist (Linux)

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 ...
