changeset 3681:4f547f0da680 libavcodec

second pass encoding changes: - warn rather than fail when specified bitrate need not be used - fail with a useful message when specified bitrate is too low - print potentially useful information if verbose patch based mostly on suggestions from Michael Niedermayer and Loren Merritt
