@section ffmpeg does not adhere to the -maxrate setting, some frames are bigger than maxrate/fps
Read the mpeg spec, read about video buffer verifer.
@section I want CBR but no matter what i do frame sizes differ
You do not understand what cbr is, please read the mpeg spec.
Read about video buffer verifer and constant bitrate.
The 1 sentence summary is that there is a buffer and the input rate is
constant, the output can vary as needed.
@section How do i check if a stream is CBR?
To quote the MPEG-2 spec:
"There is no way to tell that a bitstream is constant bitrate without
examining all of the vbv_delay values and making complicated computations."
