[Ffmpeg-devel] More questions(bitrate, trapping errors)

[Ian Gowen]

Sorry if this is a dupe. I don't think it went through the first time
I tried to send
this.

OK, I'm having trouble setting the video bitrate of video streams of the output
file. I set the bit_rate field of the stream's codec context but it
seems to make
no difference on the actual bit rate of the stream afterwards(it ends up being
somewhere in the range of 104000 kb/s), and the bit rate of the file itself is
negative(!!). Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Also, is there a way to trap any errors that libavformat/libavcodec might raise?
If an error occurs but is not handled, it causes my application to
(understandably)
segfault.

thanks
