Hello

I need some help to find (how or) which function VLC uses to communicate the bitrate (defined by the user) to ffmpeg.

Actually, I have to do a school project, which consists to modify the source of VLC in order to have an adaptative bitrate. For exemple, we communicate a text file to VLC with time and bitrate, like this:
1 16
5 64
8 1024
and VLC have to set the bitrate 16 kb/s at the date t=1seconde, set the bitrate 64 kb/s at the date t=5s, etc...

Thanks.
