What do the values in the debug log stand for?
Here’s a sample line: 00011466 1747.23110870 [1112] df:010923, 02104 bytes, 4x (3.86x), R:0589, M:131, BR:39.31% (38.63%), D: -0.07Mb, L: 1.06 And here’s what it stands for: 02104 bytes is the size of the compressed frame, 4x the compression level of the current frame, the (3.86x) value the average compression level for the whole movie, R is the current Bitrate, M the amount of motion in the current frame, BR the bit reservoir level (the number in brackets is the average), D the deviation of the size from the average, df stands for delta frame (in case of a keyframe this would be kf) and the number behind it is the current frame number and last but not least L is the chroma level. 1.06 means the luma component of the frame is slightly higher than the chroma component. If you get a plus (+) sign after the BR this means that the bitrate had to be increased for the gauge to stay above the min given in your setup.
