Hi.
I installed next version of ffserver (ffmpeg package):
#ffserver -h
FFserver version 0.6.3, Copyright (c) 2000-2010 the FFmpeg developers
built on May 16 2011 08:49:21 with gcc 4.6.0 20110429 (prerelease)

I am trying to transcode a few DVB channels via ffserver and still have no
success. The problems are:
1. It seems that my installation can not produce more them 1Mbit/s video stream
per channel and actually it even cannot
produce more then one channel at a time.
Port 8090
BindAddress 0.0.0.0
MaxHTTPConnections 200
MaxClients 100
MaxBandwidth 5000000

</Feed>
<Stream russia24.mpegts>
Feed russia24.ffm
Format mpegts
AudioBitRate 96
AudioChannels 1
AudioSampleRate 48000
VideoCodec libxvid
# VideoHighQuality # works (?)
VideoBitRate 1000
VideoBufferSize 20000000 # bits ? Bytes ? What ?
VideoFrameRate 25
VideoSize 640x480
VideoGopSize 15
</Stream>
When VideoBitRate is set to 2000 the stream is useless - image not stable and
breakes. Mplayer very often says "Cache
not filling, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min!". But VideoBitRate
1000 sreams petty good stable image.
ffserver uses 12.5 % of CPU (in top) regardless of bitrate, number of clients
or number of streaming channels. Feeding
ffmpeg on this machine uses 3-6 %, CPU is "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3470 @
2.93GHz". I believe that CPU is powerful
enough.
What is actual limits on bitrate in ff server ?
2. When I start 3 same stream channels (3 same config sections like above but
different channels and feeds) A/V sync is
several seconds!
Is it possible to sync audio and video ? How ?
3. Actually I would like to stream via libx264 codec and still can not find
working example.
Can any one to show working example with libx264 ?
Also I tried to use theora via ffmpeg2theora but this program exits very soon
when gets some error :-(.
4. Where can I find table of compatibility formats and codecs ? Not all formats
work for streaming and not all
streaming formats can carry any codecs. It is like roulette ...
Can any one help me ?
