Time to change some settings BABY! For a start we can change the encoding settings:Īs you can see, I disabled CBR, put the quality to 10, put the max bitrate to 1000kb/s, and like I mentioned before, I turned on "useĬustom buffer size", and set it to 0 kilobits because it disables VBV and allows x264 to change the bitrate itself.Ĥ.
