Appending videos with different bitrate

[Altruo]

Hi

Just a quick question

If I append two videos with mkvmerge, that have different bitrate , would that cause a problem in some players ? On PC, it doesn't seem to cause problems but I wonder if it is known as causing problem elsewhere, player, streaming,etc.

Resolution, audio, fps, etc is the same.... It is just a short video of a few seconds that I want to incorporate in the middle of an intro. The video is 8500kbps vs 2500kbps for the rest of it.

Thank you for your time !

Potentially it could case problems with some hardware decoders - it might cause a buffer underrun on some older devices for example . For streaming it might stutter if it's not buffered, bandwidth isn't adequate. Same or lower bitrate is better than a big jump like 3-4x .
