vbr bitrate

[senderj]

Usually I use CBR in Cinema Craft Encoder SP v2.5 to encode with bitrate set to 7552k. The result mpeg2 works very well in DVD Workshop 2. But when I use 1-pass VBR with bitrate average 6000k, min 0k, max 7552k, the mpeg2 always has nominal bitrate of 9800k and max around 8040k (reported by BitRate Viewer), which DVDWorkshop doesn't like. I tried 2-pass VBR but result the same. How can I control the bitrate in VBR?

Deselect "For DVD" then CCE will add correct header to stream.
When "for DVD" is selected CCE always put 9800 as target bitrate to stream. You should read manual:)
You can change target bitrate using ReStream. You should set there bitrate which you set in CCE in max. bitrate window.
