[gst-devel] How do I optimize my encoding and streaming?

[Michael Joachimiak]

This string:
'video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1'
is a capabilities string (caps).
You can change the width and height there to whatever the camera supports.
call gst-inspect v4l2src to set what options you have.

Same for ffenc_flv. Call gst-inspect ffenc_flv to see what properties you
can set when calling gst-launch.
You can try to change minimal quntaizer values.

Squares are coming because of aliasing, thus changing the quantization
parameter might help.
