okay,I tried with handbrake.we can enforce a level using hb's command line.and you are wrong.setting level to a certain value ain't limiting anything.I encoded a 720p video with veryslow preset and set the level to 3.2. I tried handbrake,vidcoder and vlc.(In handbrake we cannot set the preset/tune using it's command line.so I manually set reframes=16)I checked the output using mpc-hc,and it's showing level=3.2 while refames still 16!where it shouldn't be more than 5.I also tried manually setting reframes=16 and restricting level=3.2 in all the three.same result
then I tried a 1080p video with reframes=16 and set the level to 3.2.the resolution itself won't fit in the level.still mpc-hc showed level 3.2 with reframes=16 for a 1920*1080p video.
