Bandwidth...

Postby andrzej » 30 Aug 2005 14:47

Hi,

how to calculate bandwidth usage for one stream (simple calculation: videobitrate + audiobitrate = streambitrate seems to be naive ). I use vcodec=DIV3 and acodec=mp3.

thanks,
andrzeJ

Hello,

It's more or less that, but you need to add the muxer overhead, which is generally around 5-10%.

The best thing is always to test :)

It must be noted that the video bitrate is by default not very strict. If needed, peaks can happen. There is a special encoder option to prevent this.

I have the same config: Div3 + mp3, but I have a problem, even if I use other codecs, the total bandwith is totaly ignored. When I broadcast while I transcode, if I set it to 96 kbps + 32 kbps, the total usualy is more or less 150 kbps, but when there is a scene with a lot of movement, it consumes more than twice as much, and it's not peaks, it's constantly more than twice the bandwith used. I have more than enough CPU for that live transcoding and broadcasting (streaming) so I'm quite without ideas. I REALY need the bandwith to be constant even if it means worse vid quality.

Edit: shouldn't constant bitrate be "constant"?
