Hello, I'm trying to make sense of the video ES bitrate I'm getting in a simple MPEG-TS containing mpeg-2@2000kbps/mp2@128kbps program created with ffmpeg 3.4.7. I'm using 8% overhead for the muxrate for the total of (2000 + 128) * 1.08 = 2298k. This is the cmdline I use, the input.mp4 is a h264/aac video:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv420p -g 15 -b:v 2000k -minrate:v 2000k -maxrate:v 2000k -bufsize:v 1000k -aspect 4:3 -vf "scale=640:-2,pad=640:480:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" -r 29.97 -c:a mp2 -b:a 128k -ar:a 44100 -program program_num=5:st=0:st=1 -f mpegts -muxrate 2298k -pcr_period 20 test4.ts All goes well, but analysis of the TS reveals that video bitrate is less than 1700kbps which is well below the 2000k I'm aiming for and there is a good amount of padding in the TS presumably as a result of the video rate undershoot. Is this normal? Is my logic for the muxrate calculation flawed perhaps? Thanks for any info. -Vlad =============================================================================== | SERVICES ANALYSIS REPORT | |=============================================================================| | Global PID's | | TS packets: 9,673, PID's: 3 (clear: 3, scrambled: 0) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | PID Usage Access Bitrate | | Total Global PID's .................................
