View Full Version : Re encode raw h264 stream to lower bitrate

Hi all!

Is it possible to re encode a high bitrate raw h264 stream to something lower that my Linux box can handle ?
I have some high bit rate TS streams that I have demuxed using ProjectX for the audio and mplayer for the video. The resulting raw stream plays correctly in Mplayer (but slow).
I have tried importing the stream into Avidemux, which seems to work, but when I try encoding it runs for a few seconds and then Avidemux crashes.

Anyone managed to get this working ??

Ok,managed to get it working by using h264enc (http://h264enc.sourceforge.net/) which invokes mencoder, which in turn use x264 for the encoding.
I thought that even Avidemux used x264 for the encoding, but it doesn´t work for me there.
