I understand that the max total bitrate is 2723 kb/sec
If I decide that I want audio at 224 kb/sec and video at 2499 kb/sec(which is 2723 - 224) and I use CBR, is there any advantage to using VBR?
I understand that when using VBR more complex scenes can be encoded at a higher bitrate and less complex ones at a lower bitrate while still maintaining a specific avg. bitrate. However, if one is encoding at a constant bitrate which is as high as possible (depending on the audio bitrate which is chosen) would there be any point to using a multipass VBR approach?
The reason I am asking is, as many others have pointed out, CCE crashes are less frequent for me using CBR.
Thanks in advance,
Raz
