AWS Elemental MediaConvert CBR - Is there a way to output a hard Constant Bit Rate?

0

I am using presets with MediaConvert. When I set up a preset to use CBR video bit rates, I am seeing output bit rates all over the board and not capping or staying steady at the set CBR rate. Ideally, is there a way to have it use a "hard" CBR rate? Alternately, is there a way to set a top bit rate and not have it go over that rate? So if I need video at 5mb/s, I get a max overhead of normal 10%? Right now, I see video bit rates at sometimes up to 60% higher than the set CBR, and it is going over the network limit on the streaming video I am trying to do. If I wanted VBR, I would have it set as such.

Are you talking about bitrate of encoded video or download speed of your player. When you define CBR mode and define video bitrate, MediaConvert should produce constant bitrate on the output. You can read more about it here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elemental-server/latest/ug/vq-rate-control-modes.html.
