I want to use x264 for streaming DVD video to LAN.
Video is captured from a PCI video capture card.
Encode streaming is Main Profile @ Level 3.
Bitrate less than 2Mb/s (CBR) is acceptable.
Letency time less than 2 seconds is acceptable.
How to set x264's parameter to bring out the best quality?

Rule 12:
Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!

I am sorry. I'm a newbie of doom9 forum and x264.
I have searched some post. I found http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=98247. But I want a exactness suggestion.
The developer of x264 can give parameter setting to MSU and DOOM9 for their codec comparison. So I want someone to share their experience.

The Doom9 x264 settings used two-pass encoding, not suitable for streaming purposes. You might want to try streaming your DVD with Videolan.

I don't want to use VideoLan.
I want to integrate x264 to my program, like mp4live. :)

This is a experimentation, so the soure code is not important.
