#25 Bitrate control bug whe recording live.
The codec worked fine when I captured Skype videocalls live with Evaer on Windows XP and W7, but since I moved to Windows 10 x64, the bitrate control seems to be disabled. It creates a file of tons of Gb (about 10Gb per minute recorded) and doesn't matter the value I set. I tried to capture video live with other software using the x264vfw codec and it happens the same, no way to set or limit the bitrate.

The codec worked fine when I captured Skype videocalls live with Evaer on Windows XP and W7, but since I moved to Windows 10 x64, the bitrate control seems to be disabled. It creates a file of tons of Gb (about 10Gb per minute recorded) and doesn't matter the value I set. I tried to capture video live with other software using the x264vfw codec and it happens the same, no way to set or limit the bitrate.
Are you sure that x264vfw codec was used at all? "10Gb per minute " sounds like it raw uncompressed video without any codec i.e. x264vfw wasn't used at all. Check your output video in mediainfo and if it is not H.264 video than something is wrong with how you used x264vfw in you app (i.e. it wasn't choosed).
I'm sure I am doing everything as I've always done when I used XP 32bits. The codec x264vfw is chosen in the app and Gspot always shows H.264 as codec with a ratio over 10000 thou I change the value in the codec settings.
Update: Skype and Evaer just work with the x86 version of the x264vfw codec. This way the bitrate can be set and limited. The problem is that the video is very dropped. When using the h.264 codec included in Evaer the video runs fluently, but there's no way to configure it to set a higher bitrate and the quality is very poor. That's why I want to use again the x264vfw codec. I tried to use the default settings of the codec, moved the bitrate, changed the preset from very fast to very slow but the result is the same, the image is sharp but the movements are dropped. Any suggestion?
Sorry, but I don't under stand what you mean by "The problem is that the video is very dropped" or "the image is sharp but the movements are dropped." . Can you be specific (screenshots or sample) what exactly are your settings and what wrong with output? Preferably also post mediainfo text output for you encoded sample (like this https://pastebin.com/adD6qZRM).
If by "dropped" you mean that capture side starts capture in 5 fps instead of 30 fps because your CPU is not fast enough to capture and encode simultaneously than x264vfw can't do anything about this (it encodes every frame it gets but can't encode something it doesn't get because it wasn't captured) and all you can do is to choose faster preset which will need less CPU to encode.
