Great. And I still have some more questions to ask :-)
I queried the encoder filter for the ITheoraEncodeSettings interface. These 
are the default values:

THEORA ENCODE SETTINGS
-> targetBitrate = 3131961357
-> quality = 13
-> keyframeFreq = 3131961357

Then I set the target bitrate to 8 KB/s and the keyframeFreq to 10, and the 
interface correctly returns:

THEORA ENCODE SETTINGS
-> targetBitrate = 65536
-> quality = 13
-> keyframeFreq = 10

However, the video bitrate still fluctuates from around 8 KB/s up to 45 KB/s. 
I guess this is your hardcoded bitrate 400000 bps, so maybe the interface 
doesn't propagate the values to the encoder at all?

I noticed that black frames (webcam lens shut) produce 45 KB/s, while moving 
video is around 8-20 KB/s. How can that be? Is the encoder fooled by the 
background noise the webcam produces? Maybe it has to do with the quality 
setting, though I don't know what it's for and what 13 means to it.

Bye,
