Hi,
I'm using zm 1.19.4 with ffmpeg. When I try to generate a video, the quality is not as good as expected. I also tried to change the settings but it looks like they're ignored.
(I changed FPS and ZM_WEB_H_VIDEO_BITRATE)
I tried with all the bandwidth settings.. to test it I also tried to set FPS to 1, but the video doesn't change and it's around 10FPS.. any idea?
tnx
videoquality settings ignored?
example:
http://www.virgolanet.net/Event-87.mpg
it's about 500kbytes
settings used:
ZM_WEB_H_VIDEO_MAXFPS=25
ZM_WEB_H_VIDEO_BITRATE=5000000

ZM_WEB_H_VIDEO_MAXFPS=25
ZM_WEB_H_VIDEO_BITRATE=5000000
Fede

The settings you have listed control the frames per second and bitrate of the streamed video for live and event views in 'high' bandwidth mode (that's what the H stands for).
If you are referring to the video that is created when your click the 'video' button then that is something else entirely and does not use these options. If you click on Options->Tools you will see config called ZM_FFMPEG_OPTIONS, you can use this to pass any options you like to the ffmpeg command line tool which is used for offline video generation.
Phil,
