HEVC HQ-VBR mode on --tier=high throws non-critical error [HevcVBVBufferSize=800'000'000 failed: out of range]

[DimkaTsv]

Error happens SPECIFICALLY on --tier=high of HEVC, default value for VBV buffer is 3 digits more than max allowed. As it is non-critical error, VCEEncC just complaints that number for vbv buffer size = 800'000'000 is out of range, and sets Max bitrate to 800'000 instead, while VBV buffer size goes down to avg-bitrate value.

For tier=main, value for max bitrate AND vbv buffer are being set by default to 240'000, and there is no error with vbv buffer size being out of range.
If i set --max-bitrate OR --vbv-bufsize manually this error disappears.
If --max-bitrate is being used, VBV buffer keeps being equal to average bitrate value, and not max bitrate, comparing to main tier.
If --vbv-bufsize is being used, MAX bitrate is being defaulted to 800'000 (which is not an issue in this case)

[rigaya]

The maximum vbv buffer which can be set seems to be 500000kb, VCEEnc 8.17 will apply this upper limit automatically to avoid the error mentioned here.

[DimkaTsv]

Fix confirmed in VCEEncC 8.17, limit applies correctly (at least it for sure reports itself properly and doesn't throw an error)
Issue closed.
Thanks
