Strange, Video bitrate is changed after trim the video with ffmpeg

Original Video is mkv file :

Then I encode it with ffmpeg :
Code:
ffmpeg -i "Parasite.mkv" -c:v libx265 -preset ultrafast -acodec ac3 -b:a 448k -map 0 ParasiteReduced.mkv
The result (at least for me) still watchable on 42" TV although the video bitrate is only 342 kb/s from 9173 kb/s

3 Minutes Sample HEVC Video - 38 Mb - Video Bitrate 1253 kb/s

I wonder how is the code to trim it with the same video bitrate 342 kb/s ? (Also wonder, why the trimmed video bitrate is going up to almost 4 times than the original video bitrate).

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.

I aint no expert [nor hardly a newbie],
but should the -c copy not be
-vcodec copy
[and if suitable] -acodec copy
I dont know what -c copy is supposed to do.

The bitrate is varaible, the segment you have trimmed just has more bits spent for that segment.

Hi StainlessS,

The copying a portion of ParasiteReduced use -c copy, StainlessS.

Hi excellentswordfight,
Thank you for your explanation.

Make sense.
So, because the source file (ParasiteReduced.mkv) has a variable bitrate, and the portion I choose (quite many movement - fast camera panning) consequently this portion get more bits spent.
That's why the output.mkv also has more kbps.

BTW, I see that the ParasiteReduced.mkv has a variable bitrate.
I wonder why the output.mkv turn to constant bitrate ?

Thank you once again, excellentswordfight.

Are you sure you are not looking at "Frame rate mode"? If the source file has variable bitrate (and it does) then the trimmed stream copy surly does so as well as you do not touch the video.

As to why Frame rate mode is reported as variable in your first re-encode and not the trimmed copy of it, no idea.

You are misunderstanding him, I'm pretty sure that he means that you should use -vcodec copy instead of -c copy. But its fine, -c copy works (and it did work). AFAIK -c copy will just try to copy every stream/component, most users usually specify this per stream type e.g. -vcodec/acodec.

+1

I often trim segments using avidemux (still works great) and the output depends on the segment, even with 3-pass CBR. On a test 7,500 kbps encode, one segment came out with an average bitrate of under 4,000 kbps, and another at over 9,000 kbps.
