Limit peak bitrate?
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 8:33 pm
I'm trying to make Plex-friendly BD-rips of my collection but it was obviously not that easy. Plex requires <20Mbps videos or it will start to transcode and I don't want that so I need to keep bitrates below 20megabits..
My problem is bitrate spikes. Assume I set avg bitrate to 12Megabit. using the extra options I set "vbv-maxrate: 17000" and "vbv-bufsize: 34000" (according to different sources online...) My thought was that I won't get spikes above 17000 (17Megabits) but I still keep getting >20Megabit spikes anyway.
I'm no expert in Handbrake so I might've mixed something up. What am I doing wrong? Hints are appreciated..
