x264 problem

[lucassp]

I encoded a movie using the bitrate generated by MeGUI's bitrate calculator (256kbps NE-AAC, 1244kbps x264 Video). the target filesize was 1400MB but the final filesize is 1,43GB. what did I do wrong?

--pass 2 --bitrate 1244 --stats ".stats" --ref 2 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --weightb --subme 6 --trellis 2 --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "D:\test.mp4" "D:\test.avs"

[check]

The targeted size would have been 2CD, which is 1.43 = 2x 714mb

1,43x1024=1464MB
that means 732MB/CD...and it's not ok:D

I know its more work, but whenever I am shooting for a certain filesize I do the math on the bitrates to ensure proper filesize. I usually stay a TAD conservative (a couple of kbps) to allow for the wrapper overhead and bitrate overshoots.
