[Live-devel] Scaling a H264 elementary stream

[Ross Finlayson]

Yes, this seems like a good way to implement fast-forward and slow-motion, provided that (1) the network and receiver can handle the increased bitrate when you increase the scale factor - as you noted, and (2) the receiver can properly handle frames that arrive at an 'unusual' frame rate.  By that, I mean that H.264 "SPS" NAL units often contain parameters (specifically, 'num_units_in_tick' and 'time_scale') that imply a particular frame rate.  Some receivers might get confused if frames arrive at a different frame rate.  (However, you have apparently found that VLC handles these streams OK.)
