I want to create CBR video using x264 and can't figure out the correct settings. I am creating good baseline profile H.264 using x264, I just want to confim it is CBR. Maybe I'm already doing it- I specify the bit rate on the command line (and frankly, the video looks CBR, but I don't have any tools that give me playback stats and I must be sure).
Does the bitrate tolerance setting have something to do with this? I leave it at the default of 1. Also, any tools out there that give playback stats during local playback? I know many players do when streaming, but those features are off for local playback.
Thanks for your help.
