To make sure that this is not an issue we checked the bit rate for a 
sequence compressed with our settings. Then we encoded the same sequence 
three times; once with --target-bitrate set to well below this bit rate, 
once with --target-bitrate set to this bit rate, and once with 
--target-bitrate set to well above this bit rate. In all three cases we 
ended up with exactly the same bit rate and PSNR. In fact the resulting 
.webm files were bit-identical. So I think we can rule out the 
possibility that setting the target bitrate incorrectly can affect the 
results.

Again, we have put a lot of effort into selecting these parameters and 
those for X264/JM, but since this is a complex issue we welcome feedback.
