[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] vaapi_encode: ensure correct VBR bitrate is used in h264 SPS

[Aman Gupta]

From: Aman Gupta <aman at tmm1.net>

This is a regression from 2562dd9e7831743ba6dc5680501fb7d26a2ec62c
which surfaces a pathological bug in some Intel hardware encoders,
causing very low bitrates to be generated whenever VBR mode is used.

/cc intel/intel-vaapi-driver#480
