<h1>ov_ectl_ratemanage_arg</h1>
<p><i>declared in "vorbis/vorbisenc.h"</i></p>
<p>
The ov_ectl_ratemanage_arg structure is used with <a
href="vorbis_encode_ctl.html">vorbis_encode_ctl()</a> and the OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_GET,
OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_SET, OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_AVG,
OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_HARD calls in order to query and modify specifics
of the encoder's bitrate management configuration. Note that this is
a deprecated interface; please use vorbis_encode_ctl() with the <a
href="ov_ectl_ratemanage2_arg.html">ov_ectl_ratemanage2_arg</a> struct
and OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_GET and OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_SET calls in new
code.

<h3>Relevant Struct Members</h3>
<dl>
<dt><i>management_active</i></dt>
<dd>nonzero if bitrate management is active</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_hard_min</i></dt>
<dd>hard lower limit (in kilobits per second) below which the stream bitrate will never be allowed for any given bitrate_hard_window seconds of time.</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_hard_max</i></dt>
<dd>hard upper limit (in kilobits per second) above which the stream bitrate will never be allowed for any given bitrate_hard_window seconds of time.</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_hard_window</i></dt>
<dd>the window period (in seconds) used to regulate the hard bitrate minimum and maximum</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_av_lo</i></dt>
<dd>soft lower limit (in kilobits per second) below which the average bitrate tracker will start nudging the bitrate higher.</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_av_hi</i></dt>
<dd>soft upper limit (in kilobits per second) above which the average bitrate tracker will start nudging the bitrate lower.</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_av_window</i></dt>
<dd>the window period (in seconds) used to regulate the average bitrate minimum and maximum.</dd>
<dt><i>bitrate_av_window_center</i></dt>
<dd>Regulates the relative centering of the average and hard windows; in libvorbis 1.0 and 1.0.1, the hard window regulation overlapped but followed the average window regulation. In libvorbis 1.1 a bit-reservoir interface replaces the old windowing interface; the older windowing interface is simulated and this field has no effect.</dd>
