[x264-devel] Encoding parameters for streaming

[Ivan Alen Fernandez]

Thanks a lot
So using VBV bufsize and maxrate for a bitrate around 1000, which values
should i select aproximately???
Should then use bitrate 1000 or the crf 13 that has a close bitrate to 1000?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for the inconviniences
