having constant biterate with x265

[Former user]

i have lot of difficulties to arrive doing constant bite rate in x265 . ( to stream video in a constant bitrate). i want to compare results with x264 . have tried with bitrate and vbv-maxrate but video size are suprising. Is there a good way to do such a thing ?

( example i want a constant bitrate at 1000 kpbs )...

Try using --strict-cbr along with --vbv-bufsize 2000 (or 3000)

you need to enable the CBR mode. that is set bitrate = vbvmaxrate and use --strict-cbr
