[Live-devel] Streaming Transport Stream bit rate question

[Ross Finlayson]

>I have some questions and as you did not answer my previous mail

Sorry, but I don't have time to answer every question that's posted to this 
mailing list (unless you're a customer).

>My main question is: how is the bit rate control done? Is it with the TS PCR?

Yes, see the code for the "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" class (in 
"liveMedia/MPEG2TransportStreamFramer.cpp").  Note, in particular, how 
"fDurationInMicroseconds" is set (and how "fTSPacketDurationEstimate" is 
updated, based on PCR timestamps in the input data).

>The other question is about the client's buffer. Do you have an estimation 
>on how long the buffer needs to be?

No, because this will depend on the input data (and, in particular, how 
'variable' its VBR is).
