           Summary: ffmenc_mpeg4 allows its bitrate property to be changed
                    without actually changing the bitrate
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.22
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-ffmpeg
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: le.businessman at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.21/2.22
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
If the pipeline is paused or playing, changing the bitrate has no effect, but
the G_OBJECT property for the bitrate is changed regardless. The element should
not change this property if the pipeline is in a state > READY and should warn
if it can't change it.

Steps to reproduce:
On a playing or paused pipeline, change the bitrate property on ffenc_mpeg4
with g_object_set and notice that it doesn't actually change, even though the
property will be different.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
