You can have still have weird broken stallouts though.

I dunno, this article has some good problem solving but the biggest and mostly untouched issue is that they set the minimum h.264 bandwidth too high. H.264 can do a lot better than JPEG with a lot less bandwidth. But if you lock it at 40Mbps of course it's flaky. Try 1Mbps and iterate from there.

And going keyframe-only is the opposite of how you optimize video bandwidth.
