How can I reduce the file size of composed archives?

Applies To

  • Video API
  • Composed Archives

Answer

You can reduce the file size of composed archives by setting the maxBitrate option when calling the start archive method. Specify a maximum video bitrate, in bits per second, between 100,000 and 6,000,000. This setting only applies to the video bitrate of the archive. If the output archive has audio, those bits will be excluded from the limit. This option is only available for composed archives (not for individual stream archives).
