The current RC(CBR/VBR) mode in ffmpeg-vaapi depends on the target bitrate
and max bitrate. CBR when target bitrate equal to max bitrate, or VBR.
Here is the background to have this solution. One issue I saw when doing
transcoding Mpeg2(interlace)->AVC on VBR mode, the real output bitrate go
away too much compared to target bitrate when there is no max bitrate
parameter in the command line. It work well when set the correct max
bitrate parameter in the command line.
And for VBR mode in the codec, generally the max bit rate is bigger than the
taraget
bitrate. For CBR mode, the max bitrate is same as the target bitrate.
When there is no specfic setting for the max bit rate parameter in the command,
here the default value 95% is used to caculate the default max bitrate
accordingly. The original code set max bitrate same as the target bitrate
with the rc_target_percentage=100. The value "95" is also the experienced
value and here give an initial max bitrate closer to the target bitrate
and avoid bigger fluctuation.
