Operation Modes
There are two operational modes of VBV: Constant Bit-rate (CBR) and Variable Bit-rate (VBR).
CBR - The decoder's buffer is filled over time at a constant data rate in the case of CBR. VBR - and at a non-constant rate in the case of VBR.
In both cases, data is removed from the buffer in varying chunks, depending on the actual size of the coded frames.

Famous quotes containing the words operation and/or modes:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
“Sight and all the other senses are only modes of touch.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
