Mmm... I shouldn't answer that question as the "good" bitrate is
really a matter of personnal taste, and of the noise/quality of the
source.

Much of the bitrate issue is covered in the doc, so I'm not gonna
repeat it here.

Just, IMHO, if you give a target bitrate equal to half the bitrate of
source video, and reduce deblocking to -6,-6, you shouldn't be able to
tell the source and the h264 encode appart.
