Have you tried with other codecs other than libx264? libx264 is an external library and can also be different on the 2 systems.

Also log files of the 2 different encodes would be interesting to look at.

Hi and thanks again.
As the build is the same and the OS is the same, my only question now is
whether ffmpeg has bias based on hardware?

    we always us the static compiles from here:

    Static builds *windows*:

    Static builds *linux*:

    http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/static/64bit/

      as far as I remember I cannot recall color offsets.
    though we are mainly under linux and only have a few windows machines...

            Hi Diogo,
            I've actually made some headway with this and I tested
            with the same version on ffmpeg on a local desktop linux
            system and a remote linux server. I still get very
            different results, which again leads me to believe there
            is some hardware bias that's happening.
            If anybody has any thoughts about this, I'll appreciate it.
            Thanks

                I think the problem is with the different ffmpeg
                versions, there some considerable changes on how
                things are handled between 2.0 and 2.6. Have you tried
                the 2.6.32 on Linux to check if there still
                significant differences?
                v 2.0.6

                libavutil      52. 38.100
                libavcodec     55. 18.102
                libavformat    55. 12.100
                libavdevice    55.  3.100
                libavfilter     3. 79.101
                libavresample   1.  1.  0
                libswscale      2.  3.100
                libswresample   0. 17.102
                libpostproc    52.  3.100

                v 2.6.2

                libavutil      54. 20.100
                libavcodec     56. 26.100
                libavformat    56. 25.101
                libavdevice    56.  4.100
                libavfilter     5. 11.102
                libavresample   2.  1.  0
                libswscale      3.  1.101
                libswresample   1.  1.100
                libpostproc    53.  3.100

                They've changed a lot between the two, specially when
                it comes to the libav.

                    Hi there Diogo,
                    It's all different, actually.
                    Locally I'm testing on Windows with a standard
                    compile of the latest ffmpeg for windows v2.6.2.
                    On the server we're running Linux and we compiled
                    ffmpeg ourselves from the v2.0 sources.
                    We are not specifying any hardware acceleration.
                    This is the command:
                    ffmpeg -y -i  source.flv -vprofile baseline
                    -preset superfast -vcodec libx264 -vb 1600k
                    -minrate 1600k -maxrate 1600k -bufsize 3835k -s
                    640x360 -movflags faststart destination.mp4
                    I thought that independant on the hardware, unless
                    specified otherwise, ffmpeg gives the same result.
                    Am I wrong?
                    Thanks

                        Hi Ron,
                        I don't have much experience with ffmpeg so I
                        doubt I will be of much help. But, are the
                        cpus of both machines from different brands?
                        Is the server's OS different from the one
                        you're using on your computer?
                        Are you using hardware acceleration on ffmpeg?
                        Is the ffmpeg version the same on both computers?

                            Hi all,
                            I'm using ffmpeg to encode some video.
                            When I run the command locally I get a
                            very different result than when I run the
                            same command on the same source on a server.
                            Somebody told me that ffmpeg might change
                            the bit rate or some other quality switch
                            based on the environment it's running on.
                            More specifically, that it can read what
                            processor it has and make quality
                            decisions based on that - and that this
                            might be the reason for the change.
                            I can't find anything in the documentation
                            about this.
                            Anybody has insight on this odd behavior?
