[FFmpeg-user] Feeding DVR to ffmpeg server, part 2

[Alex Povolotsky]

Hello

I've managed to feed video with

/usr/local/bin/tanidvr -m 1 -c 1 -m 1 -t dvr-host -u user -w password | 
ffmpeg -r 25 -i - -strict -2 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm

but the picture is of poor quality, with lots of artifacts.

How do I determine proper parameters for processing it?

=== ffserver.conf ===
HTTPPort 8090

HTTPBindAddress 0.0.0.0

MaxHTTPConnections 2000

MaxClients 1000

MaxBandwidth 1000

# '-' is the standard output.
CustomLog -
<Feed feed1.ffm>
# ffmpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
File /tmp/feed1.ffm

# Specify launch in order to start ffmpeg automatically.
# First ffmpeg must be defined with an appropriate path if needed,
# after that options can follow, but avoid adding the http:// field
#Launch ffmpeg
