grepping for 200000 didn't reveal anything like that. Do you have a
specific example of an encoder that does this?
Perhaps we could move AV_CODEC_DEFAULT_BITRATE somewhere else, to avoid
pulling in a bunch of unrelated stuff. Maybe that doesn't need to hold
up this patch though. Tbh the way bitrate is defaulted to a value,
which makes it impossible to differentiate between a user-supplied -b
200k an no -b at all, is even more janky. The default is also
ridiculously low..
I know some encoders like libvpx allow specifying both quality (-crf)
and bitrate at the same time
