In digital music processing technology, quantization is the studio software process of transforming performed musical notes, which may have some imprecision due to expressive performance, to an underlying musical representation that eliminates the imprecision. With the average bitrate, you control the size of the output file but give up control over the videos quality. For example, a minimum setting that is the same as the framerate of the video eg.

Therefore a two pass encode provides the maximum visual quality for the given target. They are updated during the quantizer quantize method, and are reset by the resetlog function. However, x264 does have a levels option, which should be chosen based on the hardware or software which will playback instead, a gui that uses the x264 cli may have a list of profiles and levels, allowing it to limit you to settings consistent with your selection. Your model should look similar to the following figure. The default of 51 is the highest quantizer available for use in the h264 spec, and is extremely low quality. Large values mean that there will be higher quantization, more compression, and lower quality. I think its a bad idea to limit the quantizer change, depending on you content and the data rate that is used, x264 might never use any quantizer x anyway, but i see no reason to restrict the encoder on this end. This will only be used if downstream elements do not specify a profile in their caps deprecated. Along with the preceding properties, quantizer objects have readonly states.
Alternatively, one may choose to perform constant quantizer or quality encoding, in which case the quantizer property controls much of the outcome, in that case bitrate is the maximum bitrate.
