The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I am using VLC to stream a video feed over a 256Kb connection.
I am using h264 as video compression and mp2v as audio compression.

For my understanding seems there is not a way to set up a fixed bitrate. The 'vb=' parameter seems to not set the maximum bitrate used by the video but an average.

Is this correct?

Is there any way to set the maximum bitrate the video stream will use?

I tried to specify witch encoder to use (venc=ffmpeg) but was not clear to me how to use the 'vt=' parameter.

Can anyone give me some help, please?


Thank you

Bitrate is depend on :
* frame size, like cif, qcif
* frame rate, exp 15 fps
* color depth, 8 bit is representing 256 colour
* codec like h264

You may decrease one of that, may be the video size or frame rate video
