Hi,

I need a little hand, I try to transcode a HD H.264 to MPEG2 SD with

cvlc -vvv ./test.ts --sout='#transcode{venc=ffmpeg,vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,fps=25,width=768,height=576,deinterlace,acodec=mpga,ab=192}:standard{mux=ts,dst=239.0.0.1:1234,access=udp,sap,name="test"}'

or

cvlc -vvv ./test.ts --sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,fps=25,width=768,height=576,deinterlace,acodec=mpga,ab=192}:standard{mux=ts,dst=239.0.0.1:1234,access=udp,sap,name="test"}'

the problem is that the bitrate is always ignored

If I use the H.264 codec

cvlc -vvv ./test.ts --sout='#transcode{venc=ffmpeg,vcodec=h264,vb=1024,fps=25,width=768,height=576,deinterlace,acodec=mpga,ab=192}:standard{mux=ts,dst=239.0.0.1:1234,access=udp,sap,name="test"}'

the bitrate is correctly set.

Any ideas ?

nobody ?

is it possible that the MPEG2 encoder is broken?

try --sout-transcode-vb=1024 --sout-transcode-venc=ffmpeg --sout-transcode-vcodec-mp2v
