https://transloadit.com/templates/view/REDACTED

we set audio bitrate to 64kb/s

"ffmpeg": {
        "vcodec": "libx264",
        "f": "mp4",
        "acodec": "libfaac",
        "ab": "64k",
        "ar": "48k",
        "threads": 3,
        "vpre": [
          "slow",
          "baseline"
        ],
        "level": 30,
        "r": 12.5,
        "b": "96k",
        "maxrate": "96k",
        "bufsize": "96k"

but if i run mediainfo on the output is just has 48kbit/s

anything else wrong in the settings?

Hello,

Are you sure you didn’t look at a file from a different step?

I’ve looked at a sample result file (http://tmp.transloadit.com.s3.amazonaws.com/REDACTED from “mp4_416px_160k_b30”, which matches the instructions in this support ticket) and it reports an audio bitrate of 64168.

Hey Ivo,

have you investigated on this yet?

Kind regards,
Tim

Closing this for now.
