Avconv optimize video quality?

Post by biologisch »

Hi!
Is it possible to optimize the video output quality by using avconv?
With ffmpeg it was with the additional parameter -sameq

Thanks a lot. :mrgreen:

Do you mean the quality of the video for the live stream?

Or, perhaps you meant when you "export" events?




I've found the live stream quality when using mpeg (in the bandwidth settings) can be improved by upping your WEB_L_VIDEO_BITRATE (also in bandwidth settings) number. Mine is currently set at 1500000 and the video is fairly high quality.

Hi again!
Long time ago but I mean the quality of the "export" events. The exported quality is very low. Is there an addition parameter needed for avconv?

avconv and ffmpeg are both 3rd party tools, almost identical in many respects given avconv was a fork. But they both have their own documentation so would suggest having search and read of that.

So my FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS (avconv) are:

Code: Select all

-r 5 -b:v 1000K -q:v 1 -crf 23
