Stream Copy

ffplayout supports a stream copy mode since v0.20.0. A separate copy mode for video and audio is possible. This mode uses less CPU and RAM, but has some drawbacks:

• All files must have exactly the same resolution, framerate, color depth, audio channels and kHz.
• All files must use the same codecs and settings.
• The video and audio lines of a file must be the same length.
• The codecs and A/V settings must be supported by mpegts and the output destination.

This mode is experimental and will not have the same stability as the stream mode.
