how to increase bitrate encoding with ffmpeg?

[marcorocchini]

Hi

...

ffmpeg.exe -threads auto -y -i "C0144_HD.avs" -vcodec mjpeg -pix_fmt yuvj422p -vtag MJPG -qp 0 -an testout.avi

this produces 86 Mbs bitrate

I wonder: is there a way to increase mjpeg encoding bitrate (over 300 Mbs for example)

thanks

Mjpeg usually has a quality setting similar to jpg images.
Not sure about the ffmpeg implementation

Bitrate control for mjpeg:

-q (not qp) in range from 2-31
-b (example 4000k)

you may wish also to force particular level quantization range (to avoid unwanted quantization range change).

@ffmpeg -hide_banner -y -color_range 2 -i "%1" -color_range 2 -c:v mjpeg -pix_fmt yuvj422p -q:v 2 -dc 8 ...
