encoder RateControlMode Problem

Hi Nvidia:
In example 03_video_cuda_enc,Add ctx->enc->SetRateControlMode(enum v4l2_mpeg_video_bitrate_mode mode) in main Function to change encoder’s Rate_Control_Mode, but when mode is V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_VBR and the mode is V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CBR, the encoded files size is similar equal, of course,the input file is the same one. the expected result is in mode V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CBR, the encoded file size should maxer than its in V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_VBR mode, and when Bitrate grow larger,the difference between in V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CBR and in V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_VBR is larger and larger.Is it right?

 Bitrate              V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CBR                          V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_VBR

Expected your reply! Thank you!

Hi,

Usually, you can achieve a smaller file size by encoding VBR than CBR for the flexibility of bitrate.
But this slightly relies on the context of the video.

Thanks.
