[Libav-user] Setting bitrate inside DASH manifest when encoding to H.264 with constant quality

[Przemysław Sobala]

OK, I've narrowed it down to 2 solutions:
1) (the one that doesn't involve changing FFmpeg's code) I can make a copy
of DASHContext struct, maintain any changes that will be made, and set the
bitrate by DASHContext *c = fmt_ctx->priv_data before calling
av_write_trailer
2) Can setting the bitrate be done by adding a AVOption code to DASH muxer
and later calling any av_opt_set_* function (the difficult part is that the
bitrate must be set for an array of dynamically allocated OutputStreams
inside DASHContext) ?
