Hi all,

I have an application that encodes mpeg4 video. The encoder was an adaptation of the decoding_encoding_8c-example <https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/2.4/decoding_encoding_8c-example.html>. It works well, but bitrate fluctuates without much control. Currently, these are my AVCodecContext settings:

    c->bit_rate = 5000000;
    c->width = this->m_width;
    c->height = this->m_height;
    c->time_base.den = 25;
    c->time_base.num = 1;
    c->gop_size = 0;
    c->max_b_frames=0;
    c->pix_fmt = this->pix_fmt;

    av_opt_set(c->priv_data, "preset", "ultrafast", 0);
    av_opt_set(c->priv_data, "tune", "zerolatency", 0);

And I get up to 70Mbps depending on the image being encoded. I have also tried to set these parameters:

    c->bit_rate = 12e06;
    c->rc_min_rate = c->bit_rate;
    c->rc_max_rate = c->bit_rate;
    c->rc_buffer_size = c->bit_rate * 30;

And it does limit bandwidth, but after a couple minutes of encoding I get the error:

[error] ffmpeg error evaluating rc_eq (null)

My guess is that I'm missing some parameters. I don't quite understand what the rc_buffer_size value should be either.

Cheers!
