[FFmpeg-user] Constant bitrate UDP streaming

[Patrick, Alton (US)]

I know it's possible to explicitly set a constant bitrate for the UDP protocol output, e.g. like this:

ffmpeg -re -i input.ts -map 0 -c:v copy -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:12345?pkt_size=1316&bitrate=100000000

This requires me to figure out the bitrate of input.ts and explicitly pass that as part of the URI.

Is there anyway to tell ffmpeg to automatically use the bitrate of input.ts as the output bitrate for the UDP stream?

Thanks.
