[x264-devel] Best Video Streaming Settings

[Alex Jurkiewicz]

That specifies users:
1) need a 3000kbit minimum connection speed to stream the video,
2) needs to download 0.5s of video before decoding can start

It seems like reasonable settings, assuming the minimum supported
speed for your users is 3000 + (audio bitrate) + (container overhead)
+ (network overhead).

Two pass encoding would be beneficial, if your encoding process
supports it (ie, is not live transmission, etc).
