Subject: Fine-tune of frame's size predictors at ratecontrol start
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aeaed2d07b5b43437bb640e1f987d42a6fab03b9;p=libx264

Fine-tune of frame's size predictors at ratecontrol start

This is attempt to improve VBV at start of video with a lot of threads which
delay feedback for predictors.
