I use VBV to obtain a proper bitrate to accommodate the network. I used ESEyE to observe the size of every frame, I found some B frame used very high bit because of fash lamp, what I expect is when we find it's B frame, and consume an extreme high bits, I will drop it for saving bits for other frame.

x264 intentionally makes them B-frames in order to save bits. It also refuses to trigger a scenecut, saving bits. Furthermore, MB-tree raises the quantizer a ton, saving bits. Of course, you screwed with qcomp, which is probably preventing MB-tree from doing its job. Don't touch it.

I don't recall any sports match in which there's an audience on both the top and bottom of the frame, but no, x264 doesn't do that.
