    But VLC uses ffmpeg libraries itself, so the inefficiency of the
    codec will persist. Also it may 'appear' to be faster cause the
    aspect ratio is not enforced.<br>
    <br>
    I'd suggest you compile ffmpeg from GIT and use custom CFLAGS
    optimised for your server.<br>
    <br>
    Constant bitrate also helps, and maybe you can you filters instead
    of -aspect to improve performance.<br>
