Bitrate Viewer

Hello,

I have been testing a program called Bitrate Viewer and have a question about it. I encoded a video in MEP and when I loaded into Bitrate Viewer, it said that the minimum bitrate used was one thousand and something. But when I encoded the video the value set for the minimum bitrate was 3000. So how can the encoder have gone under the specified minimum? Or is the Bitrate Viewer program innaccurate?

Attention VBR set the average plus or minus may be 2000 As example you set 3000 thats means average this can be 3000 + 2000 = 5000 OR 3000 -2000 = 1000 at 1000 the quality is very low normaly HD full screen need 8000 not less than 6000.

. . . . So how can the encoder have gone under the specified minimum? . . . .

How the encoder works with respect to bitrates and VBR has already been explained in one of your previous questions - the encoder will use what it actually needs dependent on the type of scene being encoded at the time within the limits of the Maximum bitrate setting.
