You can use - '-me zero' to speed up motion estimation, and '-intra' to disable - completely motion estimation (you have only I frames, which means it - is about as good as JPEG compression). - -<LI>To have very low bitrates in audio, reduce the sampling frequency - - (down to 22050 kHz for mpeg audio, 22050 or 11025 for ac3). - -<LI>To have a constant quality (but a variable bitrate), use the option - - '-qscale n' when 'n' is between 1 (excellent quality) and 31 (worst - quality). - -<LI>When converting video files, you can use the '-sameq' option which - - uses in the encoder the same quality factor than in the decoder.

It *really* helps to have installed LAME first.

Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received. These -differences extend to embedding WMP into a web page. [There are two -different object ids that you can use, one of them -- the old one -- cannot -play very well, and the new one works well (both on the same system).

If not, then ffserver deletes the file before recording into it. (Now I write -this, this seems broken). - - -<P> -You can fiddle with many of the codec choices and encoding parameters, and -there are a bunch more parameters that you cannot control. Post a message -to the mailing list if there are some 'must have' parameters. Look in the -ffserver.conf for a list of the currently available controls. - - -<P> -It will automatically generate the .ASX or .RAM files that are often used -in browsers. These files are actually redirections to the underlying .ASF -or .RM file. The reason for this is that the browser often fetches the -entire file before starting up the external viewer. The redirection files -are very small and can be transferred quickly. [The stream itself is -often 'infinite' and thus the browser tries to download it and never -finishes.] - - - - -<H2><A NAME="SEC13" HREF="ffserver-doc.html#TOC13">2.7 Tips</A></H2> - -<P> -* When you connect to a live stream, most players (WMP, RA etc) want to -buffer a certain number of seconds of material so that they can display the -signal continuously. However, ffserver (by default) starts sending data -in real time. This means that there is a pause of a few seconds while the -buffering is being done by the player. The good news is that this can be -cured by adding a '?buffer=5' to the end of the URL. This says that the -stream should start 5 seconds in the past -- and so the first 5 seconds -of the stream is sent as fast as the network will allow. It will then -slow down to real time. This noticeably improves the startup experience. - - -<P> -You can also add a 'Preroll 15' statement into the ffserver.conf that will -add the 15 second prebuffering on all requests that do not otherwise -specify a time. In addition, ffserver will skip frames until a key_frame -is found. This further reduces the startup delay by not transferring data -that will be discarded. - - -<P> -* You may want to adjust the MaxBandwidth in the ffserver.conf to limit -the amount of bandwidth consumed by live streams. - - - - -<H2><A NAME="SEC14" HREF="ffserver-doc.html#TOC14">2.8 Why does the ?buffer / Preroll stop working after a time?</A></H2> - -<P> -It turns out that (on my machine at least) the number of frames successfully -grabbed is marginally less than the number that ought to be grabbed. This -means that the timestamp in the encoded data stream gets behind real time. -This means that if you say 'preroll 10', then when the stream gets 10 -or more seconds behind, there is no preroll left. - - -<P> -Fixing this requires a change in the internals in how timestamps are -handled. - - - - -<H2><A NAME="SEC15" HREF="ffserver-doc.html#TOC15">2.9 Does the <CODE>?date=</CODE> stuff work.</A></H2> - -<P> -Yes (subject to the caution above). Also note that whenever you start -ffserver, it deletes the ffm file (if any parameters have changed), thus wiping out what you had recorded -before. - - -<P> -The format of the <CODE>?date=xxxxxx</CODE> is fairly flexible. You should use one -of the following formats (the 'T' is literal): - - - -<PRE> -* YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (localtime) -* YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ (UTC) -</PRE> - -<P> -You can omit the YYYY-MM-DD, and then it refers to the current day.
