頭文件x265.h中的碼率控制參數：
struct
{
/* Explicit mode of rate-control, necessary for API users. It must
* be one of the X265_RC_METHODS enum values. */
int rateControlMode;
/* Base QP to use for Constant QP rate control. Adaptive QP may alter
* the QP used for each block. If a QP is specified on the command line
* CQP rate control is implied. Default: 32 */
int qp;
/* target bitrate for Average BitRate (ABR) rate control. If a non- zero
* bitrate is specified on the command line, ABR is implied. Default 0 */
int bitrate;
/* qComp sets the quantizer curve compression factor. It weights the frame
* quantizer based on the complexity of residual (measured by lookahead).
* Default value is 0.6. Increasing it to 1 will effectively generate CQP */

/* QP offset between I/P and P/B frames. Default ipfactor: 1.4

* Acceptable values between 0 and 51. Default value: 28 */

/* Enable adaptive quantization. This mode distributes available bits between all
* CTUs of a frame, assigning more bits to low complexity areas. Turning
* this ON will usually affect PSNR negatively, however SSIM and visual quality
* generally improves. Default: X265_AQ_VARIANCE */

/* Sets the strength of AQ bias towards low detail CTUs. Valid only if
* AQ is enabled. Default value: 1.0. Acceptable values between 0.0 and 3.0 */

/* Sets the maximum rate the VBV buffer should be assumed to refill at
* Default is zero */
int vbvMaxBitrate;
/* Sets the size of the VBV buffer in kilobits. Default is zero */
int vbvBufferSize;
/* Sets how full the VBV buffer must be before playback starts. If it is less than
* 1, then the initial fill is vbv-init * vbvBufferSize. Otherwise, it is
* interpreted as the initial fill in kbits. Default is 0.9 */

/* Enable CUTree ratecontrol. This keeps track of the CUs that propagate temporally
* across frames and assigns more bits to these CUs. Improves encode efficiency.
* Default: enabled */

* are separated by comma, space or newline. Text after a hash (#) is

} rc;成員變量aqMode和aqStrength是一起使用的，用於assign more bits to low complexity CTUs，這種應該屬於空域的RDO，而complexityBlur、blurredComplexity、cuTree均屬於時域的RDO。
aqMode和aqStrength的作用類似於HM中的CU級多QP優化，但不需要遍歷多個QP。cuTree在HM編碼器中沒看到類似的技術。
