Variable bit rate (VBR) output with constant bit rate (CBR) settings?

Hi,


I am trying to transcode a SD clip via compressor. Here's the settings that I would like to achieve.


Video Frame Rate

25 fps

Video Standard

PAL

Video Codec

MPEG-2 Video, Main Profile/Main Level

Audio Codec

MPEG-2 Audio Layer II or

Available audio codec

Container Format

Mpeg-2 Transport Stream (mpg)

Video bit rate

8,000 Kbps, CBR

Audio Bit rate

384 Kbps

Aspect Ratio

16:9

Audio Sample Rate

48KHz

Resolution

1024x576

Scan type

Progressive


However, the only problem I have is transcoding the clip to CBR mode. Even though I have chosen the 'one-pass CBR mode' in Compressor, the output is still VBR mode. Is there any way for Compressor to follow the settings and achieve the CBR mode? Thanks in advance.

Mac OS X (10.6.8)
