I have Red5 oflaDemo Connected and working fine

When I try to rtmp stream flv file with ffmpeg I am getting this errors

root@zzz-OptiPlex-170L:~# ffmpeg -re -i '/usr/share/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams
/avatar.flv' -vcodec libx264 -acodec copy -ab 128.k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -r 25 
-s 320x240 -vb 660.k -preset slow -f flv 'rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo/streamTest'

Well, -ab 128.k and -vb 660.k shouldn’t have periods in them, and also its just -b, not -vb… or am I missing something? And if you use -acodec copy I don’t see how you can specify an -ab audio bitrate or -ar either…

This might work better:

ffmpeg -re -i '/usr/share/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams/avatar.flv' \
-vcodec libx264 -ab 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -r 25 -s 320x240 -vb 660k -f \
flv 'rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo/streamTest'
