[Libav-user] Dramaticaly increased latency of avcodec_encode_video with x264 switching from avcodec-52.dll to avcodec-53.dll

Hello.
Hello.
Yes, I have switched to the most recent version, of course. I would
prefer the latest. But the result is exactly the same.
I am not working with files. My app captures screenshots, encodes it,
sends over the network, decodes it, and shows on another PC. So I am
totally contained in my own app. So what was working very well stopped
working. Well, not stopped, but that huge latency give me about 5-6
seconds of delay. So it is like 40 - 50 frames in my app. Also I have
seen, that it is encoder functions which is the problem. Thank you for
your response.
