VLC default encoder (venc) ?
Posted: 16 Apr 2013 14:55
Hi,
I would like to know what is the default venc value - if any - when transcoding with VLC.
As I'm new to video transcoding, I'm a bit confused with these different parameters. If I am right, we have :
- vcodec : the norm in which the stream will be transcoded
- venc : the codec used to transcode in the norm specified with vcodec
Is it right ? Sorry if the question have already been asked, but neither a search on the forum nor in the doc gave me the solution.
Moreover, I experience some trouble with the bitrate (vb). If I use for exemple x264 as venc and if don't specify it or if I use ffmpeg, I have very different results. x264 seems to work as expected, eg I have a bad quality with 56 and nice with 2000, but with ffmpeg or with no venc I have a bad quality with 2 and nice with 10…
Is it normal ?
Thank you in advance
