I believe -bufsize should be the size of buffer for the person watching
your video. With -maxrate it allows you to choose how many seconds of
buffering is required before the stream plays (bufsize / maxrate =
latency in seconds). -maxrate is the slowest connection speed that you
are willing to support without buffering. I believe 5 seconds is
typically the maximum acceptable bufsize.

Note that this applies to streaming and not progressive download.
