question on limiting bitrate

[Marianna Smidth Buschle]

Hi,

I can see 2 options:

- reduce the bitrate on the main thread by tweaking the encoder

- transcode (decode and re-encode) on the rstp thread. Depending on your 
needs you can: adjust bitrate on the encoder (reduce quality) or fx 
reduce fps / frame size

However I was told that the bitrate must be reduced for there are other media incoming and i have to cut it down to around 700kbps
