Changes between Version 70 and Version 71 of StreamingGuide

v70	v71
88	88	Note also that using dshow's "rtbufsize" has the unfortunate side effect of sometimes allowing frames to "buffer" while it is waiting on encoding of previous frames, or waiting for them to be sent over the wire. This means that if you use a higher value at all, it can cause/introduce added latency if it ever gets used (but if used, can be helpful for other aspects, like transmitting more frames overall consistently etc. so YMMV). Almost certainly if you set a very large value for this, and then see the "buffer XX% full! dropping!" message, you are introducing latency.

90		There is also apparently an option -fflags nobuffer which might possibly help, usually for receiving streams [http~~://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Format-AV~~Options reduce latency].
