Sorry, I wasn't paying attention and made this mistake. I changed the 
number before sending it.
The mistake was that I used 'v:b' and not 'vb'. The console ouput was 
huge, but it encoded and used the generic setting for the bitrate. But 
whart I could not change was that I could set my 'crf' lower than the 
generic minimum quantizer which is 4. But I don't mind anymore. It's ok 
if I can set the 'crf' and the bitrate.
