[Live-devel] Too much bandwidth consumption, how to reduce it

[Jeff Shanab]

Bandwidth is not determined by live555.

     The bandwidth of H264 video is determined by resolution, quality,
gopsize and frames per second used during encoding. Pretty much in that
order. The file would need to be transcoded into a new file with another
tool like ffmpeg to change it's band width. While Frames per second would
seem to be a good place to start, the lower the framerate, the more time
there is for pixels to change. From 6 to 30 fps actually has a very small
percentage change.  Gopsize and quality are the two best places to start to
reduce file size and hince bandwidth when streaming.
