[FFmpeg-user] Add Image to Streaming Audio

[Michael Davis]

Thanks Lou!  Your example works great as a baseline.  Now I need to A) reduce bitrate on the video stream to as low as possible.  I’m not sure what the lowest frame rate can be with h.264 in a TS container, but in playing with the -r option, I am only able to get output as low as 8 fps.  Anything lower and I get zero byte TS chunks.  And B) the still image is actually being written over on disk every few minutes.  Is there a way to force ffmpeg to check the file mod time or read from disk at a given interval?  As it is, it seams to be reading the file once and caching.

Thanks!

Mike
