Bitrate trouble

I've got VLC 0.8.6a under Gentoo Linux

vlc --daemon -vvv --color v4l:/dev/video0:size=320x240 --sout '#duplicate{dst="transcode{ vcodec=DIV3,vb=30,scale=1}:std{ access=mmsh,dst=192.168.16.21:8080/low1.avi}"}'


VB="30" (kb/sec?)
but WindowsMediaPlayer shows 900 kb/sec!

What is wrong?

After a few of tests i've found:
if bitrate <=50 then WMP shows something like 978kb/sec.
If bitrate = 51 then WMP shows 49kb/sec

Bug of WMP or VLC? =)

bwmon shows 50-60kb/sec (when bitrate is 51), i suppose everything is ok.
