hello,
I am using the Video Encoding h264enc 720p h264 base profile video encoder version 1.20.02 for the dm6467t. I am having a problem with bit rate. I need to keep the bit rate low but I can seem to do that without generating lots of zero frames.
For example, if I have a stream of 720x480 images at a frame rate of 8fps then I need to average about ~12000 bytes for each encoder frame. However, if ask for a bit rate of something that should be able to handle this like 800000 bits, I often see that a single frame will take up almost the entire bit count and then the rest of the frames in that second will end up being zero frames or skipped.
I can't seem to understand how best to configure my codec to do what I want. The I frames can take up more of the bit rate, but I can't have this many skipped frames.
I found this link for a different component:

Is there a similar link for dm6467? How can I best control the bitrate for the encoder? What are my options?
Thanks,
