ffmpeg -i input.mxf -c:v libx265 -b:v 10M -r 50 -c:a ac3 -b:a 384k -f mpegts output.tsSports requires 2-3x the bitrate of film at the same resolution because fast motion (ball, players, crowd) defeats inter-frame prediction. A football match at 1080p50 needs 10-15 Mbps in H.265, while a drama needs only 4-6 Mbps.
