0009 Below all controls within the Codec control class are described. First
0010 the generic controls, then controls specific for certain hardware.
0011
0012 .. note::
0013
0014 These controls are applicable to all codecs and not just MPEG. The
0015 defines are prefixed with V4L2_CID_MPEG/V4L2_MPEG as the controls
0016 were originally made for MPEG codecs and later extended to cover all
0017 encoding formats.

1809 the average bitrate for a GOP and keep it below or equal the set
