ffmpeg parmater

Hi Zip,
Is there any way I could configure the parameter passed to ffmpeg . I want to tune to bufsize to a larger value. Basically my ffmpeg stream freezes and resumes when i stream padcast from internet. The podcast stream from internet is very fast around 800kbit/sec. I dont have any issue if i watch the stream while downloading is in progressl. I only have issue if i use ffmpeg stream directly from internet. I think there is a buffer issue some where and i want to experiment with it. Any suggestion would be helpful as well.

bufsize is only used when restricting video bitrate and is related to video decoder buffer, not download buffer.

Ok got it. Is there any configurable feature in ffmpeg to perform buffering prior to transcoding. i couldnt find any. I would like ffmpeg to have bigger input buffer if possible.

I doubt it, but you can ask at FFmpeg mailing list.
