+  The complexity of the frames of a movie, and thus the number of bits
+  required to compress them, can vary greatly from one scene to another.
   Modern video encoders can adjust to these needs as they go and vary
   the bitrate.
-  However, in simple modes such CBR, they cannot exceed the requested
-  average bitrate for long stretches of time, because they do not know
-  the bitrate needs of future scenes.
-  Wiser modes, such as multipass encode can take into account the
-  statistics from previous passes, which fixes the problem mentioned
