Sorry, i'm not clear.
I use encoder_example but I would like to have a video with mono output for the audio, encoder_example seems to only produce stereo files.
Is there a somewhere in the code a value to change to obtain mono sound only ?
My purpose is to reduce the size of the audio and keep a nice quality for the video, because I try to stream the file with a bitrate of 128kbps (audio and video).
Currently, audio is around 30kbps.

Sorry for my bad english
