Encoding video at a constant bit rate
When encoding video content at a , you specify the average that you want to maintain and then set the size of your buffer. The bit rate fluctuations during the encoding session will be constrained by the given buffer size. Specifying a constant bit rate causes the image quality to fluctuate in order to ensure that the buffer does not overflow or underflow.
Note Audio is always encoded at a constant bit rate
