Limiting maximum bitrate - kingcrimsonster - 07.04.2024
How to set a limit on the maximum bitrate in NVENC constant quantizer or constant quality mode? Often the destination files have a bitrate exceeding 100 Mbit/sec.
RE: Limiting maximum bitrate - Selur - 08.04.2024
If you want limited bit rates, use vbr.
a. if you select fixed quantizer, limiting the bitrate at all makes no sense
b. not sure whether limiting the bit rate in quality based encoding is supported in NVEncC. Normally bit rates are restricted through VBV settings, so I would recommend trying th properly set the profile&level settings, and limit the vbv buffer size (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob/master/NVEncC_Options.en.md#--vbv-bufsize-int) through a custom addition.
