Share your bitrate for video streaming
 

I've been wondering what bitrate do you use for video streaming.

Here are my parameters I use for ffmpeg encoding:
-850k
-libx264
-flv

What do you believe it's the best combination to serve visitors who want to stream video? :thumbsup

MPEG 4, high profile, H.264, 1500 or 2000 kbps, 1920x1080 or 1280x720.

we use three H.264 MP4 files with the following settings

video 780 Kbps 640x360 (16:9) 29.97 fps AVC ([email protected])
audio (128 Kbps) 44.1 KHz 2 channels AAC (LC)
210mb for 30mins of video

video 1480 Kbps 960x540 (16:9) 29.97 fps AVC ([email protected])
audio (128 Kbps) 44.1 KHz 2 channels AAC (LC)
375mb for 30mins of video

video 3000 Kbps 1920x1080 (16:9) 29.97 fps AVC ([email protected])
audio (128 Kbps) 44.1 KHz 2 channels AAC (LC)
750mb for 30mins of video

Thanks for sharing ;)

Good post. Thx

Nice. :thumbsup

Good job


THIS "high profile, H.264"

means WAY more than this "1500 or 2000 kbps, 1920x1080 or 1280x720"


comparing bit rate alone is like comparing digital zoom on cameras

Out of curiosity why do you use baseline profile for these instead of main and high respectively?

not sure about high
but i did have some that were done in Main and those did not stream on iphone
