I use ffmpeg codes in my C++ app and would like to control the bit_rate parameter for VIDEO there. I tried to change its value in work (via ost->st->codec->codec->bit_rate), but ffmpeg did not wish to change it.
Perhaps anybody knows how to make it?
Any ideas?
I have tried like this and its working for me.
avcodec_init();
avcodec_register_all();
codec = avcodec_find_encoder(CODEC_ID_H263);
c = avcodec_alloc_context();
picture= avcodec_alloc_frame();
c->bit_rate = bitrate;
c->width = w;
c->height = h;
c->time_base= (AVRational){1,framerate};
c->pix_fmt = PIX_FMT_YUV420P;
avcodec_close(c);
av_free(c);
