 ====== ffmpeg - Encoding - h265 - 1-pass target bitrate ======
-By setting **-b:v**.
+A simple one-pass encode that tries to reach the specified bitrate at the end.
+  * This will likely lead to the wrong bitrate estimations for the video part.
+  * It is recommended to use a two-pass encoding mode if a certain target bitrate is required.
+By setting **-b:v** and **-b:a**.
+----
+<WRAP important>
+**WARNING:**  Take care of the amounts used for the bitrate!
+  * **-b:v** is bitrate, so 10000 is actually 10 kbps.  The setting should probably be 10000k in this case.
