Hi Stephan,

i am sorry i forgot to ask this thing...

is it normal that i got around 90-100MB of data after encoding for a span of about 10seconds? because by this amount of data i got as if i am not encoding.. hehehehehe

looking forward to hear from you....

thank you,
reno

Appearantly, the programmers of the respective player you are using thought 
it would be a good idea to implement this feature. They detect the stream 
even though it is not within a container. It seems that they don't care 
about the playback rate in this situation. You could try with other 
players, I suspect you would quickly find one which cannot play your raw 
stream.

If you mean that your application does not need to put the stream into a 
container, it depends. If you really never need to seek in the stream, then 
I guess you could do without a container. You would likely come up with 
your own protocol for sending chunks of encoded data over the network. As 
long as you know where a "chunk" starts, which is easily achieved since you 
control the network protocol, I think you don't need another container.

It is normal that encoding takes longer. It is a much more involved process.

Best regards,
