Specify minrate for x265 codec

[Vasya Volkov]

Hi,

Is there any way to specify minimal boundary for bitrate which codec should not go down?

There are few problems which x265 engages I'm trying to fix: quality drops (on still scenes), VBV bitrate underflows and sometimes codec use too small bitrate (which is not bad in general, but I want to setup lower limit). libx264 in general has no this quality or bitrate issues, but in libx265 I need to limit qpmax value to reduce quality drops, and also I want to limit bitrate to help ratecontroller.

This project has been abandoned?

Far from being abandoned :-). Just takes some time to come up to speed with the plethora of questions and requests that pour in.
