ffmpeg not properly handling bitrate (-b) arguments
Hi. First post here - the threading may or may not work, as I'm responding to a message in the recent archives, not a received email. I joined the list to find an answer to this very question (what's up with the -b and -bt parameters?), but looking through the FFMPEG SVN logs I think I found it. It seems the units have changed from kilobits/second to bits/second, so you have to add a 'k' at the end (e.g. "-b 350k"). Looks like FFMPEG just ignores absurdly low bitrates like 0.35kbps. Note to the developers: warning messages and documentation are good. -Alan
