If it is normal movie 25 fps sud work and CIF (352x288) for not so great as HD kind of quality. > > -- > Xavier COUDIN - coordinateur informatique > Lycée Pays-de-Retz, 44210 Pornic, gsm 06 80 28 40 53 > ______________________________**_________________ > ffserver-user mailing list > ffserver-user@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/**listinfo/ffserver-user<http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffserver-user> > -- Amar Kumar Nandan Karnataka, India, 560100 ☎:+91-9019054471 ✉:nandan.a...@gmail.com http://aknandan.co.nr
