QF is used in constant quality mode and trate is used in constant bitrate mode. When trate is non-zero it overrides QF. In constant bit-rate mode the value of QF is used to set the initial quality only. Having a high QF in CBR mode can result in the encoder taking longer to adapt to the required constant bit rate.

Hi,
what is association between qf (quality factor) and trate (target bit rate)?
both are data members of dirac_encparams_t.
if i want to set my bit rate 256kbps ,then what is the significance of quality factor ?
how are they related to each other?
Regards &
Thanks in advance .
