what is the maximum bitrate?

what is the maximum bitrate for scrcpy?
8 Mbps? or I can set better?

The bitrate is just forwarded to the codec:

scrcpy/server/src/main/java/com/genymobile/scrcpy/ScreenEncoder.java

Line 142 in a41dd6c

format.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_BIT_RATE, bitRate);

How it is used is encoder-dependant. In practice, beyond 12 or 16, it does not change anything.

how can I know my encoder dependence?

I want to know this too
I tried game mirroring, the bitrate drops a lot on pc screen
how can I see the mirrored screen exactly as good as (same as original bitrate) the original mobile screen?

[srjbs11]

so how can I check the encoder for this scrcpy and upgrade it to display same bitrate as my mobile phone screen?

[srjbs11]

downloaded and updated codec but still same no lag but bitrate drops so much

The screen surface is not encoded to render on the device, so you can't have the same quality without any loss. The raw content for a 1920×1080 video at 60 fps would require 1920×1080×24×60 bits per second, which is 3Gbps.

So the content is encoded in H.264 with a live hardware encoder. Since it's in live, the quality cannot be as good as possible for a given bitrate.

The bitrate is passed as-is to MediaCodec, and the way it impacts the encoding is encoder-dependant (and the max value too).

Is the quality so bad?

Could you post a recording of several seconds?

scrcpy --record file.mkv
