B-Frames not working properly

[cmw]

Hi, I use VLC to stream over my network. However, I've noticed that unless I set bframes=0, the video gets jumpy. The more bframes, the more jumpy the video. e.g. imagine a news ticker at the bottom of the screen. If the station is showing a still or a graph (which results in lots of b-frames as the screen doesn't update at all), the news ticker looks like the video has 5 fps or so. Apparently, this is quite an old problem (over 5 years), as I found this:

I'm not quite sure if this is actually a sout-issue, it could be a problem with the decoder.

Here is my entire commandline:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe --sout-deinterlace-mode=blend dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Cinergy HT PCI BDA Analog Capture" :dshow-adev="Mikrofon (Realtek High Definiti" :dshow-caching=400 :dshow-size=720x576 :dshow-chroma=YUY2 :dshow-fps=25 :dshow-aspect-ratio=16\:9 --sout #transcode{venc=x264{profile=high,preset=medium,weightp=0,bframes=16,b-pyramid=none},vcodec=x264,vb=1136,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=2,samplerate=48000,vfilter=deinterlace:croppadd{croptop=10,cropbottom=10,cropright=16,cropleft=16},fps=25,audio-sync}:duplicate{dst=standard{access=http,mux=asf,dst=localhost:1234}}
