Hi, I understand your probably using variable bitrates based on the setting we use so I expect some variance.. but I’m getting output bitrates 2-3x my input setting.. 512kbps is giving me 1-2mbps files.

Anything I can do about this?

Im using H.264 and also xvid mp4’s.

Did you use the encoding option keep quality or something else?

Nope, actually the input bitrate on my test files was < 500kbps, my output is set to 450 video, audio 32.

Im creating jobs from the api, apart from my own params & the format_id the only additional setting I have is the deinterlace=true.

Ill try with a few more different input videos to see if its the same.

I can send you the video and format ids if you need to take a look.

Ok, I think this is just a problem with the short 30sec test files I’ve been using.. larger videos seem to even out much better closer to the actual bitrate.
