Also see x264 --fullhelp WRT nal-hrd=cbr, it may not be what you need, 
no mp4 and possible "filling".

  x264 --fullhelp | grep nal-hrd -A 3
       --nal-hrd <string>      Signal HRD information (requires vbv-bufsize)
                                   - none, vbr, cbr (cbr not allowed in 
.mp4)
       --filler                Force hard-CBR and generate filler 
(implied by
                               --nal-hrd cbr)
