====== ffmpeg - Encoding - h265 - 1-pass target bitrate ======
A simple one-pass encode that tries to reach the specified bitrate at the end.
* This will likely lead to the wrong bitrate estimations for the video part.
* It is recommended to use a two-pass encoding mode if a certain target bitrate is required.
By setting **-b:v** and **-b:a**.
----
**WARNING:** Take care of the amounts used for the bitrate!
* **-b:v** is bitrate, so 10000 is actually 10 kbps. The setting should probably be 10000k in this case.
----
===== Example =====
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -b:v 8M -b:a 320k output.mkv
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -b:v 8000k -b:a 320k output.mkv
**NOTE:**
* **-b:v**: Target bitrate for Video.
* **-b:a**: Target bitrate for Audio.
* Abbreviations can be used, like K for kBit/s and M for MBit/s.
