Your numbers are certainly lower than what I see, by several mbps in most cases. What does your network look like? Also, you're seeing the demux video buffer fill up, while the audio buffer does not. This is normal. The audio buffer is typically bigger than you need, unless your video bitrate is very low. Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
