Abstract
A controller and a method for controlling output bitrate of a video encoder when encoding a video stream. The method for controlling output bitrate of a video encoder when encoding a video stream comprises: receiving weather forecast data for a location where the video stream is captured; predicting, based on the weather forecast data, a future increase in output bitrate of the video encoder due to weather affecting contents of the video stream; and reducing the output bitrate of the video encoder by increasing a compression level of the video stream so as to compensate for the future increase in output bitrate of the video encoder.
