When a buffer overflows and the mux rate is increased, is the
encoding of that section re-tried with the bigger buffer, or does
that section end up not properly encoded?  That is, do you recommend
that the mux rate be specified to avoid overruns, or is it safe
to allow auto-increases?

So the vbuf size is somehow encoded into the mpg output; it's not
just a temporary thing used during the encoding process?

Did this, but the pstd values were all over the place.
