Encoding video with more than 3072 kbits bitrate?

[tsiMental]

Is it possible to encode video with VLC using more than 3072 kbits bitrate?

Yes, i did it without problems, but you need bandwidth!
In the GUI (i use XPpro) you can put in eg. 4096 in the drop down field, or just change the vb parameter in the command line.

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=4096,scale=1}

Have you actually TRIED this streaming to a file? Every time I do, vb=4096 gives the same exact resulting output file as vb=3072. No matter what >3072 rate I try, I always get same output file as with vb=3072.
