[FFmpeg-user] Setting up buffer_size

[Raúl Mansilla]

Hello all, 

 

Does anyone know how to set up correctly the buffer_size option for udp
stream inputs? I´ve read the next for fifo_size:

 

 First of all the input bit rate (in kbit/sec) dictates the length of the
buffer size:
input_rate = buf_size / time, which means that buf_size = input_rate * time 

So, if you want to have 10 seconds of buffered input of 512 kbit/sec, you
should set your buf_size to:
buf_size = 512 kbit/sec * 10 sec = 5120 kbit = 640 kB (that means
fifo_size=640000)

 

Thanks,

Raúl.
