			For streaming at very low bitrates, use a low frame rate | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			and a small GOP size. This is especially true for RealVideo where | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			the Linux player does not seem to be very fast, so it can miss | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			frames. An example is: | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			
  | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 |

			ffmpeg -g 3 -r 3 -t 10 -b:v 50k -s qcif -f rv10 /tmp/b.rm |

			The parameter 'q' which is displayed while encoding is the current | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			quantizer. The value 1 indicates that a very good quality could | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			be achieved. The value 31 indicates the worst quality. If q=31 appears | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			too often, it means that the encoder cannot compress enough to meet | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			your bitrate. You must either increase the bitrate, decrease the | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			frame rate or decrease the frame size. |

			If your computer is not fast enough, you can speed up the | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			compression at the expense of the compression ratio. You can use | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			'-me zero' to speed up motion estimation, and '-g 0' to disable | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			motion estimation completely (you have only I-frames, which means it | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			is about as good as JPEG compression). |

			To have very low audio bitrates, reduce the sampling frequency | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			(down to 22050 Hz for MPEG audio, 22050 or 11025 for AC-3). |

			To have a constant quality (but a variable bitrate), use the option | 
		
		
	
		
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
			 | 
			'-qscale n' when 'n' is between 1 (excellent quality) and 31 (worst |

			quality). |
